The waiting for Alice has hit us really strongly this month and know that we probably won't hear for about 6 months! so I have spent an hour on my Blog while Emily annoys me! I hope you all enjoy the changes!

WAITING!

Well the waiting continues and family life is getting busier and busier!
Aiden has taken to surfing and has lessons each week! That is great since the beach is just down the hill!
Also he has settled into John McGlashan well and loves the school and the challenges that brings!
We have had an amazing year with loads of challenges!
Emily loves her daily routine of school and then home for a nap and then it is chitter chatter non stop so fantastic! Also we have had a busy time with visitors and adventurers!
Emily has bben to Hi 5 and now the Dorothy the Dinosaur and now we have tickets for Barney! She just loves it!
I will up load photos shortly so you can see the changes in our princess!
Aroha Nui!

July 13 documents have been referred!

Well we have been very quiet It is now August but we haven't had referrals yet in New Zealand yet but we are expecting referrals for one of two groups who had their paperwork in China in July!
So they will hopefully have both sets of referrals before the end of the month!
We look like we will not meet Alice until March April 2007 as the wait for all families has extended out!
It is hard waiting but we have two wonderful children at home and that helps immensley.

Aiden has really enjoyed his first 6 months at a college and really is into theatre sports and hockey this year is looking at how to fit in Piano lessons on top of all he does!

Emily is at Montessori 5 days a week!
And says things like "I love my Alice!" "Alice is in China waiting for us mummy!" "when I go on a plane I will get Alice?"
So currently Alice is involved in all our talk!
Emily finds it hard to understand why Alice won't be at her birthday party!
Yes Emily is about to celebrate her 3rd birthday! So that is all fun filled!

We had a fantastic time in WEllington at the Chinese Embassey with her friends Zara and Marlese!
And meeting up with Sophie, Meillyn and our friends and kids in Wellington too!
Well I need to pop Emily to bed!
Take care
Love Ruth
