In response to your words...

I have to say that we are so touched by the many beautiful posts you leave on our blog and send to us in emails. The reason we write this post is that reading your words of kindness and support show us how many people Aislin's life has touched. These words she will be able to read throughout her life, I have saved every comment and every email and they will become a part of her scrap book that I am going to put together and I know she will treasure every word just as we have. They show the love and support from all of you. I know you may never know how significant your words could be in helping Aislin uderstand how truly loved she is and how it's not just her Mommy and Daddy who thought of her everyday and waited so anxiously for her, but also all of you.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Happy New Year!

Ah the excitement

We washed all of Aislin's clothes tonight, cleaned out her room and started getting more organized. We sat there and folded her little jammies and reflected at how far we've come and how wonderful this journey has been. Our lives are about to change drastically in about two weeks, and though I'm sure I don't have a complete grasp on just how drastically life will change I welcome it, as does John (he has a better idea of what's to come though already having gone through this)....
We are so excited about everything Aislin will bring to our lives.
We are pretty lucky.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Merry Christmas friends and family. We had a wonderful Christmas, alot of carolling and a lot of turkey! John and I were both spoiled rotten by Santa and Mom and Dad. It was so nice to go home to Cape Breton for a little (alot) of much needed pampering. This weekend is New Year's Eve and Jenny and Duane and the kids are coming up for what has come to be one of my favorite new holiday traditions. They've been able to make it here to share New Year's with us for the past two years, we have a fondue and wine and laugh a ton! I'll be sure to post some pictures of the festivites early next week...so until then we genuinely hope you all had a wonderful Christmas....now....let's get to the NEW YEAR and bring Aislin home!

New Picture of Aislin

This picture was taken only 3 days ago. She seems to being doing well, has only gained 1.1 lbs since her referral and still as beautiful as ever. Only a few more weeks until we hold her in our arms.

28 days

Only 28 more days until we leave for China, we are getting so anxious to see our little china doll....less than a month, we can finally say it's next month!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AISLIN!

It's December 10th in China and our little Aislin is 1 year old! We wish we could be with her. We are going to celebrate by going for Chinese Food with our close friends Tara, Mike, Ethan and Emma. We love you baby girl, Happy Birthday!
