Visit from Catherine

One of 1st blogger friends that I met was Catherine. I joined the bloggy world knowing NOTHING about blogging and Catherine who lives 2 provinces away helped me along the way setting up my blog via email. Heck I had no idea how to even had LINKS....LOL!!!!

Shortly after New Years I received a email from Catherine saying she was coming my way and would be in the same province as me in June. I was so excited to finally get the chance to meet her in person. So we made plans and unfortunately I wasn't able to make it up to where she was. Catherine being the sweetheart she is said she would make the 2 hour trek to see us!!! So she made it down and we enjoyed a wonderful 3 hours with her. We had lunch down in a park where Channing was feeding a wild rabbit her french fries, we drove away with my drink on top of my car, we toured our Main Street, introduced Catherine to one of our famous local artists, visited our Mineral Spa, and went to a near-by park and feed the ducks. The day went by way too quick, but I know we will one day meet up again and I cannot wait for that day!!!!

It's SYDNEY DAY!!!

A few months ago I met an amazing gal Stephanie who was adopting a little girl from China. Soon I found out this little girl was not only a little girl from China, but it was "GUK GUK". Guk Guk was one of Channing best friends in the orphanage, who she admired and slept with. Guk Guk is a little older than Channing, so I'm guessing she thought of her as her Jie Jie (big sister). Stephanie finally has her darling girl in her arms TODAY.


GUK GUK a few months ago in China

Since today is a holiday in China, Sydney was taken to the hotel where her new family was waiting for her. Stephanie said they met at the elevator and when that door opened, Sydney yelled "Mama" and ran into her Mama's arms. OMG.....how amazing!!!


Here is Syndey at the elevator!!

Doesnt she look excited & happy?


Sydney and her Mama!!!

So before Stephanie left for China, I downloaded SK*YPE onto my computer. This morning when Channing woke up we went online and Channing and Sydney got to talk to eacother over the computer. They seen eachother and heard eachother!!! Both girls were a bit shy, but the more and more they see eachother they will get back to the way they used to be. Tonight another visit is scheduled. I cannot wait to take Channing to see Syndey, hopefully in a few months!!!!

Steph....CONGRATS again!!! You are going to be a fantastic MOMMY and you have one beautiful DAUGHTER!! HUGS, HUGS, HUGS!!!
