Early 2012

The lack of posting here is embarassing. I wish I would write more often about all of the fun/amazing/funny/smart/crazy stories that happen at our house everyday.

We just completed our third (and final) post placement report! We're so glad to have that part of the process behind us...we're one step closer to finalizing the adoption.

We've been pretty busy since the begining of the year. January and February were pretty quiet months for us. We spent most of the time at home as a family. Daddy went back to work at the beginning of March and that has been a pretty big adjustment for both Mommy and the Little Moose.

Nicolas and I have been attending a playgroup for children who were adopted internationally. I am so thankful for this group, the moderator and the other moms. They all help me to realize that I am not alone and that I'm not the only one who feels the way I do.

Nicolas is doing great (well asides from missing Daddy when he's at work). His vocabulary is growing every day. He's learned his alphabet, and he's now working on recognizing his letters. He's funny and loves to play. He is a kind boy who loves people. He told me again today that he loves me and Daddy and he loves his friends. We are so lucky to have such a loving little boy.

We are glad that the weather is getting nicer so that we can play outside! Tonight after supper we walked to the park and played soccer as a family. It was a nice end to the day!

On a more personal note, both of our families have been going through some difficult times and so that has kind of overshadowed our lives for the past few months. Eric's parents are moving across the country to be closer to his grandparents. It will be difficult for us to see them go. Nicolas loves his Baboo and Bapa very much (and we do too!).  On the bright side, we'll be visiting Beautiful British Columbia again soon!

I suppose that's all for now...here are some pictures from the past few months...






Until next time... :)

One year...

Hello Little One!

Today it has been one year since we were officially approved to adopt from the Philippines! We are so excited that the first year has passed quickly and now we know that we should have a year or less to wait for you! We cannot wait to meet you and get to know you! We love you already and we are ready to be your Mommy and Daddy!

We have been planning how we are going to announce your arrival (well the proposal). We have a plan and things are falling into place! We have a nice surprise for our family and friends that is in the works! We can't wait to announce that we are going to be a Mommy and a Daddy...

We love you and we pray for you, your birth parents and your caregivers often. It is our prayer that you would continue to grow up and be healthy and be safe...and that God would provide you with all that you need...that you would have enough to eat, and drink...that you would have many caregivers and friends who love you and care for you and that we would be able to come and get you as soon as possible!

Goodnight Sweet Little One...We love you!
