happenings


So, I am not sure what is happening but my posts are being deleted or not staying on my blog. So, I will give you the latest about our journey to Dru  and other family stuff.

So, we haven't really heard much from China, only that Zhang Yi Hui's file has been matched with our family file. Meaning that he is now our son. We are permitted to ask for 1 update, meaning a photo and ask questions. I am trying patiently to wait as long as possible to get the most recent picture and information.

Jason and I are extremely excited but nervous at the same time. I think we are more nervous because we know the things that could go wrong or be worse. Where as the first time we had no idea. Also, traveling that distance with a 5 year old will be hard. Miss Diva is a good traveler but doesn't like being away from home for long. She still asks to come home after being out for 20 minutes. She is dealing with or processing something lately. She has been talking about death and going to heaven and why does that need to happen, why can't we visit Grandpa Brook and did Oma Schraud go to visit Grandpa Brook, And Mama, you have to die to go to heaven. Just lots of stuff happening in her little mind.

Our family is leaving in a week to travel to Newfoundland. I am excited to see family and friends. I have been missing home lately and grieving my home town. The beach I use to go to as a kid, the blueberry picking, the boat rides the quietness and the drama of a small town. I can't wait!

Last, Miss Diva has 1 skating lesson left! Wednesday, she did amazing. Her coaches came to tell me how well she did and they were so thrilled to see her confidence build...I am 1
 proud mama.

I will post soon!
