GARDENING

Little by little my backyard is starting to come together. It has been
rainning off and on for quite some time now. Oh but let me tell you,
in between the rain it has amazingly gorgeous! We have the most bluest
skies and cool weather. The one thing I don't miss about California is
the HEAT. I just cannot tolerate it. This morning was one of those
mornings where it was
Super gorgeous. The one thing I have learned since being here is that
the weather can turn on s dime so I thought that I would get some
gardening doe this morning. before the clouds come rolling in as they
are doing at this very moment while I am doing laundry and relaxing in
the backyard listening to the kids play at recess.

VOLUNTEER LUNCHEON

Every Friday I volunteer in Mimi's classroom by assisting the teacher
with whatever needs to be done. So this afternoon as a gesture of
appreciation, the school gave us a luncheon with a performance by our
school's choir. It was very, very lovely. We also received the flower
pot along with card and bookmark.

ADOPTION UPDATE

I had a really nice talk with Norman Niu. Surprisingly he still remembers us. Long story short is that group 121 just recently came home. That was something I already knew since Audrey's family was just there getting her little sister. What was also surprising was that they stayed in an apartment as opposed to a hotel. Imaging that! Any hoo, Norman said that group 122 is getting their referals now and that most likely they will be going in 2 months and that we may be going in 4 months from now. If that is the case, it will put us in the area of Sept/Oct. That would be awsome as that time of the year is really special for us. Not only is it our annivesary for our wedding but family as well.
