LID(Log in Date)












Today my dossier was logged into the CCAA(China Centre of Adoption Affairs). At present the waiting child families have been getting their notice to travel about three months from the time their file was logged in.....so I could be going to get Ava by mid February!!! These are pictures of the actual CCAA where the matching of children to parents takes place.

MORE GIFTS FOR AVA




More gifts for Ava.....boy are they spoiling you!!
I haven't even brought you home yet and your closet is already full of gifts and clothes. My aunt Alanna who will be travelling to China with me gave me these cute little ladybug shoes for Ava. The ladybug windmill ornament is a gift from my friend Sherri, who will also be travelling with me and her daughter Shauna who can't wait to be Ava's Jie Jie (big sister)

GIFTS FOR AVA


Ava has received some lovely gifts. My friend Maureen's mother, Elli made her this lovely yellow blanket and Maureen gave her the little panda bear. My friend Rita gave me this beautiful ladybug mug. Evertime I drink out of it I think of you Ava. The ladybug robeez were a gift from my sister Cathy and her partner Janet and the ladybug t-shirt and ladybut bookmark were from my friend Cathy at work and her daughter Emily. I'd like to thank you all for your extreme thoughtfulness. I will treasure these gifts and I sure Ava will also.
