We're on a roll now....34 days to go!

Happy Monday everyone! Ok, let's start this off by saying RQ is reporting cutoff for referrals is November 1st....YEAH!!! I was thinking it was only going to be another 1 or 2 day referral batch and we wouldn't reach the end of October, but surprise, surprise, it's been announced that many agencies have reported the cut off is Nov 1. Apparently CCAA have also posted this to their 'secret' site for the agencies, they should be posting it to their other site so we can view it soon....as soon as referrals are mailed that is..let's hope they got sent today.

I had a great weekend, I was up bright and early Saturday morning to watch my niece at gymnastics - she's doing so well and is really enjoying it, I'm very proud of her! Then I spent some time with my Mom doing some shopping - I think my Mom bought out the store! ha ha ha....she had fun and needed some new summer things so she was pleased she had so much luck....and we all know that luck has a lot to do with shopping...that's probably why I don't care for it much. Saturday night Chris and I went out with some friends from our adoption community, it was really fun, and NO....I'm not a pool shark! :o) (you had to be there). Yesterday was mine and Chris's 12th wedding anniversary, WOW, I can't believe it's been that long, time sure fly's. We went out for supper at one of our favorite restaurants to celebrate. We had a lot of fun. We're heading to the US for some 'retail therapy' this weekend with some friends, we're really looking forward to it....can you tell....3 more sleeps to go...!

Congratulations to all the families out there receiving referrals!

Today's Rumor....

Well, the rumors flying about today are saying we 'may' see some referrals next week, but not to get our hopes up that it will be a good batch. Looks like we may see another small batch this month and possibly next until they are out of October, then we should be back to normal, or whatever normal is lately...so at this time I'm guesstimating we may see a referral in the September/October time frame. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let me be wrong and we see our daughter's beautiful face a lot sooner than this.

I'm in desperate need of retail therapy!

Happy Monday!

Today is suppose to be a beautiful day here today....high 25 C , we had a wonderfully busy weekend, Friday night we went out on the boat since it was a beautiful night and then we had friends come over Saturday night and tied up the weekend by going to the 'sugar woods' yesterday with my family. It was an absolutely beautiful day and we loaded up on maple candy, what more can a woman ask for !!! Hope you all have a wonderful week, and that CCAA bless us with another referral batch this week! Lets keep our fingers, toes and anything else you can cross for referrals to reach well into November!

Crappy Monday!

Well, the rumor out there now is that the cut off for this month was only 2 days!!! I can't believe it. CCAA have a month to get through referrals and all they could do this month is 2 days....CCAA haven't updated their website yet, but they likely will in a couple days. So all in all, it's not a good day in the White household. We were hoping to get a good cut off to speed things up for our referral....if they continue the way they are we'll be lucky to have Madison home for Christmas of this year....Thank goodness it was Easter weekend and there is lots of chocolate in the house!

Happy Good Friday!

I think we've settled on a page layout that both Chris and I like.....at least for now....who knows, when the mood strikes I may change it :o)

I'm going to get energetic and head downstairs to do some painting. Wish me luck!

Have a Great Easter Holiday!

here's our fur-baby


Well, here is day two for trying to figure out the formatting stuff for our blogger. So for testing the picture upload I thought I'd share a picture of our fur-baby Ben.

Still no news regarding referrals for this month...or should I say March....let's keep our fingers crossed for referrals being received...and posted to CCAA...this week!

We are finally live

Well, here's another thing I can cross off my list of 'things to do before we leave for China'. "Create website...check!".
