There's No Place Like Home!

Its been a little while since I have posted here, but I have been away! Gregory and I took William and Eli to Florida to visit their Grampie and Grammie who vacation there in the early spring. It was amazing! We have been there before, but I forget how much warmer it is than here in the Maritimes........but with that said, there is no place like home! We were giddy arriving back to the Bay yesterday....fog and all! The boys, who were exhausted, perked up with the arrival of nine friends welcoming them home!!

While in Fla. we hung out at the pool and the beach mostly, laughing constantly at Eli and receiving lessons from William on all subjects imaginable. We spent one day at Busch Gardens and had a blast...if you ever go...Rhino Rally is great, but we enjoy the water and the warmth of the sun best of all, its very refreshing and energizing (even when the water is the ocean and includes a shark about 20 yards away)! Yup, Gregory and I were leisurely shelling and all of a sudden we spot it....a shark looking for a meal, thankfully it found a fish and not US!

Florida is a state of great beauty. Palm trees, pelicans, dolphins, geckos, white sand and people of all shapes, sizes and colours. William and Eli spotted every Chinese girl and imagined the day when we would be enjoying the beach with our "Junebug", then on the way home they talked about Mommy and Daddy arriving at the airport with their baby sister and how excited they'll be. As I have said before, we are already madly in love with our baby...whoever she will be, one thing we know for sure, is that she has already filled our hearts so wherever we go, we take her along!

IT's amazing how the kids can love their sister so easily and without doubt isnt it? When I doubted that the adoption would happen, I'd talk to my kids about Anna and they'd make me believe again. N
