11 and counting!

Nothing new to report! Just wanted to mark our 11 month being logged in.
That much closer!
Kinda neat to think that we are almost a whole year closer to our Lauryn coming home!

New Look!

I figured it was time for an upgrade! Let me know what you think of the new look!
Keep Happy!

August 31, 2007

The box has changed! Kyle and I are currently logged in, in China and waiting for our file to be reviewed, then we wait to be matched with our baby Lauryn!
I follow rumour queens website. The website indicated that files up to and including August 31, 2007 are out of review! The CCAA seems to be reviewing about 3 months worth of files every month... pretty exciting. I can't wait to be out of review. One year and counting. Still baby steps, but I will take em'! This has totally made my day!
Keep happy!

Happy Canada Day!

I hope everyone got a chance to enjoy this day! Kyle and I totally took advantage and slept in BIG TIME! Once we got up and at em' we took Johnson for a long walk on a trail by our house. He surprised us both by jumping right in the water! We had a great time.

My aunt, cousin and her daughter stopped by for a quick visit. They were visiting family in Belleville, and on the way home they stopped for a cup of tea. My cousin and her daughter are moving to Australia! I wish them all the luck in the world. It was so nice to see them, hard to say goodbye though! Bittersweet!
Back to work tomorrow!

Happy Canada Day everyone!
Keep happy!

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9...

months and counting...

I think it's safe to say that we are one third of the way there!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Happy Father's Day

A little late on this post, but better late then never!
Nothing really new to report! Still waiting!
Kyle spent his Father's Day (in waiting) fishing! Baby Lauryn, Johnson and Peanut bought Kyle a new fishing rod, and a tackle box! He loved them!
I spent some time with my dear Dad. I had a couple of days off and went to visit my Mom and Dad. I had a lovely time. Took my Dad to the golf course and Kyle and I bought him a new driver. He was thrilled. We had a couple of really nice BBQ dinners and also tried our luck at Bingo! My Mom, Aunts and cousins (all mother/daughter teams!) went to play Bingo. Between us, we came home with $29 each! Although I didn't add to our shared jackpot, I was sure I was going to win! LOL!
Keep Happy!

Happy Birthday Grandpa to be!

Today my hero turns 60! My dad is 60 today! Happy Birthday DAD!
What can I say about my Dad. He is funny, helpful, and generous with his time. He never wants to see people in pain. Has a soft spot for children and pets, and knows how to laugh at himself. He has taught me right from wrong, lead by example and has always provided a safe and honest place that I could (and still can!) call home!
He has helped me in ways that I can't put into words. He has also allowed me to be who I am, never questioning my judgement, but always there to pick up the pieces. Both my mom and dad have played a huge part in our adoption. My greatest joy, will be dropping our daughter off at Nana and Grandpas, knowing that she will get to experience the unconditional love that you've always given both Kyle and I.
Thanks Dad. Have wonderful birthday. Everyone who knows you, knows just how well you deserve it! I love you. xo
