Another busy week!

Well it is Saturday Afternoon and another busy week!
Keith and I have both been sick and that just sucks!
I went through to Te Anau for work and visit some amazing OSCAR programmes.
I live in a truly amazing country for which I am thankful!
I love New Zealand!
It was the first day of Summer yesterday yet I drove in hail and heavy rain and freezing conditions! AMAZING!
Emily missed me hugely and was very glad to see me home!
Aiden and Emily have been extremely tired this week and have had trouble sleeping so we are off to Spotlight (which is like Michael's!) To get new curtains! see if that will help for Emily!

It is amazing to watch her and Aiden grow! Emily went into a bookstore with me and saw a globe pointed to Africa and said there is Africa Mummy! talk about blowing my mind!
So luckily Santa bought her a world atlas book this Christmas eh!:)
Well I need to get organised as Keith and I are meant to be going out for dinner! YEAH! Not Only because I feel sick! Nasty head cold! Nothing too major!
Hugs to you all I will pop up some more photos soon!

Icebergs and Thanksgiving

Well the past few weeks have been hectic!
The sound of helicopters has filled the air with the constant buzzing to and from the icebergs which are currently sitting off our coast line! And like all good mothers we decided one day last week to go and investigate after driving down to the tip of the peninsula I was incredibly anxious as the road is really narrow and winding! We arrived at Taiaroa Heads. No Icebergs apparently you had to be elevated! but the sight of albatross swooping and soaring was magnificent! Did I tell you it was blowing so hard that the wind could push you over almost! But watching the playfulness of these magnificent birds and all for free!
Well we headed home with two tired children!

Then this week Emily and I hit the road to our friends in Central Otago so I could work and Emily play with her friend Mae! They had a fantastic time! Work was okay! But watching these little girls play was just glorious!

On Saturday we had a lot to be thankful for! Our Friends Jacqueline and Lina arrived home from China! Lina is such a sweetie! and Jacqueline is just the essence of motherhood!
Other friends sold there house and Keith has moved into an office! I am not sure whether or not to be thankful for that!
But I am thankful for all my friends and family that support us! all my cyber pals around the world! and for my home with in its walls is my precious children and husband! I was hoping like most that Alice would be home but not to be! So another holiday passes and we wait! But like most things that we wait for! It is sweeter and more rewarding! so I hope the rumour queen is correct and that September is being matched! and that leaves only 3 more months worth! oh that means March referral! that would be sweet!
Hugs To you all!
I will post some photos soon!
Love Ruth

Heard from China

Just heard from our friends in China and things are going as well as can be expected! One of the biggest things we all dream of is the perfect handover and a compliant baby but the reality is these are signs of a non attachd baby and one that sobs and cries is actually what we all should be wishing for!
So I wish for the worst and hope that it does come true! We want our children the chance to grieve and show some signs of problems so that when they are ready they will bond and attach to us in a healthy way!
Take care Jacqueline and Lina, and the rest of the group!
Love US!
