Happy New Year

Monday, January 5, 2009


We had a fairly low key New Years Week; I was off for a few days which was also nice. DH was on call so we where not able to go anywhere.
And of course with almost 2 feet of snow in the yard and the neighborhood the days that the wind was not hauling around the kids wanted to go outside and play in the snow.

Except my little Shorkie was not all so impressed with the cold lol

This of course gave me some time to unpack boxes in the basement, yes its been going on a year in the new house and still there are boxes lol.. We also spend the weekend taking down all our xmass decorations which was nice as we have a few busy weekends ahead of us and I really did not want to have it all up in February.
I got a chance to work on some activity prep for our upcoming CNY celebration this weekend and with School starting this week the kids will have their activities again.

Children’s’ Museum in Point with our friend Tanya and her little twin boys the kids enjoyed that a great deal.



I also got confirmation over the weekend that our package arrived with our dear friend Elaine in China and she ensured that it will have been delivered to the orphanage and then to Shawn in foster care. To think that by now he knows he has a family and he has our pictures is just soooo exciting and I am mentally already packed and looking at possible hotels to stay. This weekend we are also scheduled for our fingerprints in Milwaukee so another step into the right direction.

Again to everyone and all a Very Very Happy New Year!
