The adoption has been approved by the province

In the mail yesterday was the letter from the provincial government to the Canadian government approving the adoption. HOORAY.

Also, our airfare has been charged to the credit card! OUCH! I didn't realize, but kids only travel free within Canada and the US. We have to pay 10% of a full priced fare for Kate to travel home. And that does NOT include a seat for her. Something that we didn't budget for. It's 10% of a return fare, but she's only travelling one way. Hmmm, I'll have to look into that.

I won 2 tickets to the Just for Laughs comedy tour that was in town last night so the projects took a back seat last night. We laughed so hard. It's funny just watching people around you and their reaction to certain jokes. There was a young girl in front of us who laughed so hard and kept bouncing in her seat that she kept bouncing the back of the seat off of my knee. There was also some blue haired grannies down and to the left of us and they were cringing in embarrassment at some of the less than G-rated humor. The reactions were almost as good as the comedians. I have no excuses tonight... back to the projects tonight.

Abby the dog is getting into the Kate thing as well. She has decided that Kate's stuffed animals look just too cute and tidy, so she's decided to take a different one almost every day and take it downstairs to play with it. Thats probably our fault... 2 of her most favorite toys are plush toys so I assume that she thinks that anything plush is hers. Any dog behaviorists out there? How do we tell her that these are hers and those are not hers? I'll cutr her a little slack... she has no idea what she's in for!

Oh it has only just begun.. We have the same problem with our Abbey. But wait until she realize that your hands are otherwise occupied.. Abbey gets into things she never did before becuase she knows there is no way we can get there fast enough to stop her.

Yesterday she was running around the front lawn with Briannah's blanket and then ran accross the road to see some kids and another dog... Argh.. the rebellion of an older sibling :)
 
Glad you took a night off to have fun!
Let me know when you figure out how to keep Abby away from Kate's toys ~ I'm sure Oliver and Maggie will have lots of fun with Ella's toys too!!
They don't touch the teddy bears I have around the house and some of them are at their level... I just tell them "No, those are mommy's toys!"
Hmm...we'll see how that works when the toys are everywhere!! lol

Age, that's the only thing that has seemed to work in our house (with keeping the dog away from the kids toys). Our Rocky is 8 yrs old now, so alot of times he just can't be bothered. That or the girls freak out on him which is definitely a deterrent. *grin*

What time do you guys arrive in T.O. on the 20th?? I wonder if there's any way we can get a quick visit in?? Somehow I'm thinking probably not (cause I don't think you can come out and I can't go in)...but I wonder.....???
 
YAYYYYY!!!!!!!APPROVELS ARE ALWAYS A GOOD THING!!!!!!!!!

Hey Scott check out our blog we have something for you....although you may have to explain your self when jen reads it....hehe
 
Just remember to bring a copy of that approval with you just in case yours, like ours, mysteriously never makes it to Beijing. Oops. I guess the NB Government forgot to put a stamp on that envelope. Fortunately, the embassy accepted a faxed copy of the photocopy we carried with us.

I love living in NB!!
