Happy day!

A new forever family!

1096 Days

Today marks our 3 year wait for our imaginary baby. I've taken to referring to our adoption in this way because there is just no end in sight. If it weren't for all the bills we've paid to our social worker, adoption agency, doctors, lawyers, etc I wouldn't believe it was happening.

I haven't been posting much lately. It's not that we haven't had things going on, we've been pretty busy. We finally managed to meeting our neighbour to the north, Janet and her family. What an amazing family! We had such a great time chatting with Janet and Anthony and meeting Adam and Jean. Eventually the rest of the family came home and we were able to meet the rest of the clan. What amazing children! Thank you so much for such a lovely day and the cute gift for our imaginary baby.


Jinx has also been keeping us busy. Even though you would never be able to tell by this picture. She's quite the active dog, she loves to run around and chase down balls and toys. She's becoming quite good at catching her toy in mid air. I'm quite impressed by this. I'll have to see if I can catch her in action one day.
My two nephews have been keeping me on my toes too. I love those two little boys and love being their Tita (auntie in Spanish). I'm so happy I'm able to watch them grow up.
And of course, meeting all these wonderful people and others who couldn't be there that day have made this journey so much more bearable.

I've made an executive decision as well. I am no longer go to count LIDs anymore. It just makes me sad and I don't like feeling sad.

Congrats to Michelle and Mark as well. I never thought it would've taken us this long but I am grateful we have each other to lean on.

Like my bling?

Missed it yesterday...goes to show you how important it is now.



Congrats to M&M as well. Don't know what we'd do without you.

Three years

Three years ago today my world came crashing down around me. Today marks the anniversary of my mom's passing. I can't believe it's been three years since I've seen her, heard her, touched her. I miss my mom so much.This picture was taken in 2005, we were on a family trip and we took this picture of my mom with Lucas when he was just a baby. Look at how happy she looks...

Great news!

Congratulations to Doris and Dan! After such a long wait, they finally got their referral for their daughter! We couldn't be happier for you both. I know that you are going to be the best parents!

So excited for both of you!

Two more sleeps...

Until we hop on a plane and visit our dear family and friends. Can't wait to see everyone!

Attack of the Cones

We thought we were home free. We thought Jinx wouldn't need one. We were wrong.
