Shady Grove

Last Saturday, we had our friends come for a visit and go to Shady Grove for a maple syrup excursion. The girls had a blast on the wagon ride and playing in the puddles.

 Poor little Ailee just wanted to feed the horse, Cam and she got attacked by the goat. He started chewing on her coat and Paul had to move her away.

Us walking back to the barn where we went to the treat shop and bought maple lollipops. Thanks to Jan and Paul for the treats.

final paperwork

So, on Thursday, our final piece of paperwork arrived. We quickly photocopied it, double checked everything and scurried of to Purolator to send it to Ottawa and have it arrive by Friday.

Now we wait for all this to be reviewed by the Children's Bridge to make sure there is nothing missing and then it goes of to translation. This usually takes about 2 weeks and then it's off to the CCCWA in China for LID (log in date). Then we wait.

I am hoping for a November referral. That means we could be traveling around the same time as we did for Miss Diva. I thought it was a very nice time to travel. It wasn't to hot or cold and I didn't find the smog to bad.

I will keep my blog updated as much as possible.
