How To Kill Time ....

Another month has passed.

Time is moving quickly ,yet, oddly standing still with our adoption. We received word last week from our agency to prepare ourselves for yet more delays :(((

I'm still feeling hopeful that we will receive our referral at 10-11 months. Hmmmm ....do you suppose that means that I am in denial ??

The good news ,however, is that CCAA has finished the review of dossier's for families with a LID of August 31st/2005.
Hooray ...we passed!


So, what have we been doing to pass the time with this wait?



Well ...we have been preparing Alyana's quilt ( see below).





AND we have been "partying".


Ben had his 6th birthday party today at the Teddy Bear Workshop and he brought 6 of his favorite little people. It was really fun ( see below).










AND .......


the REALLY,REALLY BIG NEWS is that we have decided to build a home and have spent the week searching for and looking at home plans.

We've viewed so many that they are all beginning to all look alike.

We're probably crazy undertaking such a big plans months before China but hey, if you look at it this way, it will certainally "kill the time" until we get Aly's referral.

Time to redo the nursery.

Hope things are well with everyone. We'll post again soon.

JP, Andrea and Ben
