December has been a busy month. It started off with a lovely surprise. About once a month I get together with a bunch of ladies from an adoption group I joined a few years back. We go out to get a bite to eat & chat. These ladies have been a god sent to me thru this roller coaster of a ride and on the first Saturday of this month during our monthly get together showered me with gifts for Aislinn. I can not put onto words how honored I am that these women are my friends.
We painted Aislinn room (ok I did, who are we kidding, Stew-Be was away hunting while I spent the weekend painting and Yes Bambi is safe for another year)Chair rail is up, dresser is painted and clothes are being hung up. Its really being to look like a little girls room.
This past Sunday night we had my family (same crowd from Thanksgiving) over to celebrate my dad's brothers Birthday.My dad & Uncle Donald shared a birthday (December 14th) Dad would of been 77 & Uncle Donald was 80.
On Monday night Saorla had her first orchestra & on the same night my two rugrats had their choir concert. So I went to one high school, ran into my seat (her mom was holding it for me) got to see Saorla perform, bolted out as soon as she was done & drove to the kids high school (two towns over) & made it into my seat just as the light went down! As I was sitting in the auditorium listening to the hiliday music I could help but think of Aislinn. I wonder if she will be interested in any music, sports,or theater? I had really thought she would of been home by now but you can never count on the red tape.
Travel looks like February for us. we FedEx our visa applications out today and our Article 5 (DS230) will deliver it to the CCAA on December 30. Next Step Travel Approval!!!! There is a light at the end of this tunnel.... I just hope it hasn't burned out & due to budget cut isn't being replaced! LOL
Tomorrow night its cookie night with the rugrats, then on Friday it Christmas eve services with them then off to a family gathering with the rest of my family.
From us to you, May you all have a Very Merry Christmas!
