Where does time go???

Well, I guess there is truth in the saying "time flies when you are having fun"....

Just look at the date of my last blog post!!!

So what have we been up to???

Well, we have a new baby:o)

Now don't go all ballistic.... he is not ours to keep.....we are fostering this little "Doodlebug" until such time as his adoptive parents arrive from the States and can take care of him themselves. So he has been with us since the 3 April, and he was only 13 days old when he arrived.

We have all been enjoying him so much and will all be a little sad when he leaves, but will be glad for the memories:o)

On the adoption front....a little progress. We found out that the judge was needing the adoption laws of SA stamped by the government.... So I sent a copy of them to the South African Liaison office in Taipei, as I thought if I had to send them back to SA....well, don't need to go into great lengths about that one do I???? Needless to say, going that route, Asia-Faith may be 18 years old before we get them back! LOL

Anyhow, the office in Taipei called me yesterday to say they were done and putting them back in the post today (Wednesday), so I should have them back by tomorrow and then can send them on to Deana who will take them to the court, and then hopefully that is ALL they need and then can finally issue the final decree!!!! Woohoo.... holding thumbs, crossing fingers......

We went to the beach two weekends ago and the kids had a blast! Well, we all did... it was great to be in the sun again! I still don't like the black sand though..... I just keep thinking of the white sand beaches in Mauritius.... looking forward to that again one day!

We had an earthquake here the other night...it was 3:42am..... I woke up with the bed shaking...I was wondering what on earth Jason was doing, then I realised he was fast asleep and then it clicked that it was an earthquake! It measured 5.7 - I couldn't go back to sleep, so I waited up for the info to be put on the internet so I could check it out... that's how I know the precise time it was! LOL Took me a while, but I ended up falling asleep again (for a little while until Doodlebug woke me for his bottle!).

On Sunday, Mother's day, we went to Kim and Colin for the day and had a bbq with them.... Colin made these scrumptious kebabs....banana wrapped in bacon with pieces of peppers and pork and challots - it was really very yummy.... not to forget the delicious salad that Jason made too - finger licking good!

Well, that's about all the news I can think of for now....
