Bank Holiday Weekend in the country!

Spent the weekend with my sister and nieces on their farm....lots of walks with the dog and watching out for cows about to give birth....also lots of talking about the weather!

Here is a picture of my sister and nieces Beth and Anna in their boiler suits. We also went to Liverpool for the day on Friday and spent the afternoon in the Walker Art Gallery - some great dressing up moments there too!

Last week at work ...

Good bye to Meteorite..agency life - for a while ...here are some pictures of my friends at Meteorite where I have been working for the last two and a half years...I am sure that they will see me once we come back and I will be getting them to help me lug the buggy upstairs to introduce them to our new addition...! see you all soon!

waiting ....

People we know are flying out this week to China to collect their little girl, their papers went to china last May so it does happen eventually....

In the meantime we are still enjoying oursleves while waiting - I finish work next week so then my plans for different businesses will kick in !
At the moment I am planning on doing catering - I cook you Freeze style - home baked food cooked the way you would leike to but don't have time for ...I then deliver to order...that is the plan at the moment anyway ...

have booked our last holiday before China ( We hope!!) a week in Spain, relaxation, and obviously some shopping for Mr N!

The house is now absolutely perfectly tidy and ready to welcome new addition...have not really bought anything yet all still feels too soon - although Rob has started turning down pages in catalogues of things he wants to buy! Time to put some visual imaegry up on this site otherwise all too boring - here is a picture of what will be Nelly's room....Obviously no cot in there as yet! or children's decorations!

Message from BLAS

Bridge of Love Adoption Service is an organisation in CHina that manages a huge amount of intercountry adoption work ....most UK adopters pay them about £100 to join - which includes translation of all files after referral; they also let you know when the papers have been logged at the CCAA. known as the LID Date - all very important in the world of waiting!

Anyway we know or think that our papers were logged in August 31st, we know from someone whose papers are in the same batch as ours that their papers are now officially in the Matching Room....so it is another step closer...
