Time seems to be going so slowly, and I think it will only get worse as we get closer to meeting you. But Daddy and I are trying to keep busy, I am working hard at my new job, and Daddy and I have started moving things into our new house. I only have to travel 15 minutes to work now (which is a lot different from travelling 1 1/2 hours like I have been doing) and we live in a really pretty spot that has lots of country side and cows! The house is really pretty, and while your room is still empty at the moment, as things progress with our application to adopt you the room will fill up with all your things.
Daddy and I have been doing a lot of reading about China, and looking at the map to understand where different places are. We have bought you a great book with beautiful photographs of stunning sites and places to visit in China. It is probably something we will give you when you are older, but even now before we have even met you, we are thinking of how we can tell you about where you came from.
Aunty Debbie's baby is due soon and everyone is getting excited, this baby will be your first cousin, and my first niece or nephew (I think it is a niece!!). Aunty Debbie and I were talking the other day about when you come into our family that you will be very close in age to your cousin who will be 9 months at Christmas this year. We all can't wait to see you both playing together.
Daddy and I wonder whether you are born yet. This is interesting for us to think about and we really don't know if you are or not. But I found the Chinese Proverb of The Invisible Red Thread and I believe it is true...
"When a child is born, invisible red threads extend from the child's spirit and connect to all the significant people who will be part of the child's life. As the child grows the threads shorten, drawing closer those people who are destined to be together."
All my love,
