Australia Day 2008.
Our family went camping north of Townsville, with our friends for the long weekend. We had a fabulous trip.
Good Weather, Good food and Good company.9 kids in total.
We celebrated Australia Day on the Saturday 25th January with Sausage sizzle for lunch and lamingtons for morning tea. Lamb Cutlets were supposed to be for dinner on the B.B.Q with salad but i left the Cutlets in the freezer at home. So we did the Aussie fish n chips instead. We flew the flag at our camp site and kids were plastered with Australia flag tattoos.
The photo above was taken by Andy and Angie from America who meet there daughter Caroline on the 21st Jan and visited the Foshan orphanage on 25th Jan. They meet Zian and her carer and took this photo for us. Caroline and Zian are actually play friends.
These updated photos are so precious to us, piecing the time together while we await to meet her. The time is going quickly with everyday life consuming our time. We are 21 days today until we fly out of Australia.
Jake 9yrs started grade 5 yesterday and is happy with his new teacher. He found his teacher from last year and told her of his news about Zian. That is lovely to hear that he sourced her as he knew she would be excited for him.
We have made some contacts over the internet with families to meet in Guangzhou and Shanghai who are also adopting . What a wonderful thing to be able to meet with other families in country to connect with them and there child.
Keep Smiling until i update again.
