Our Travel Approval is Here!!!!!

Last Thursday afternoon we drove to our Adoption Agency in Victoria to pick up our Travel Approval from China!! This is really exciting, as it is an invitation to go to China and pick up our sweet baby! We can not travel without this important paper, so we will guard it with our life!!!!!

It was a lovely afternoon so we took advantage of being in Victoria and visited Fishermans Wharf and Beacon Hill Park. A very lovely afternoon!

Thankyou

A very big thank you to Linda and Stephan for this gorgeous pink snuggly puppy jacket for Emily! She is going to be so warm and cozy in this lovely jacket.

Also thank you to my step sister Jane in Germany for this cute mobile for Emily's room. It is so colourful and whimsical, I know Emily will enjoy spending time staring and giggling at this lovely mobile.

Travel goodies for Emily

Thank you to Kathy, Eric, Jessica and Robert for the Shoppers Drug Mart gift certificates for Emily. We were able to buy some travel size goodies that we need for Emily while in China. So now we are well kitted out for shampoos, lotions, talc etc for our trip. Thanks a million guy's.

Romance, sun, sand and sheer luxury!!

What an amazing weekend Peter and I had. A weekend away at Tuwanek B&B was booked for two nights over in Sechelt. Our first trip over to Sechelt and it was just beautiful. Our room was just stunning and they had thought of everything down to the smallest detail. Tuwanek is right on the water so we were served breakfast in our robes out on our private deck listening to the water and watching the kayakers and snorklers. It was such a relaxing weekend and just perfect. I was surprised with a full body massage and pedicure by my family which I knew nothing about. So a big thank you to my family and also big thanks to Mike and Jeannie for looking after our two dogs and two bunnies back on Vancouver Isand.
I had a wonderful birthday!!!!!!

A very busy month!!!

The month of July was a very exciting and busy month for us. Being matched with our sweet Emily was the highlight of the month, nothing can top that one! It was more exciting as we were matched the month of my birthday!! So double celebrations all round.
I had some big surprises this month one was a Wild Caving Exploration at Horn Lake Caves from my mum and dad. Peter and I went on this trip last weekend and it was something we have never experienced before. Alot of crawling, squeezing and bumped heads were involved. Here are some pictures from that day, do I look impressed after the caving, (the picture of me eating an ice-cream) or am I just exhausted!!!!!

A beautiful jacket from Victoria B.C

Thank you Jeannie, Mike, Maureen, Ishan and Helen for this beautiful souvenir of your trip to Victoria. We are so touched that you thought of Emily on your travels. She is going to look adorable in it!!

Sweet memories for all of us to cherish

Thank you to Susan and Jack for these very special hand and foot print keep sakes for all of us to cherish. A very thoughtful present, even the card has some very special words for all of us. Looking forward to Emily meeting you both!!
