We are almost ready to start thinking about what to pack, and have sent off for our visas... this is exciting. Charlotte wishes we were going to Bali first as I told her they won't ask if she was born there as she certainly does not look Indonesian at all...
A mum with a daughter from Charlotte's SWI was in town in the past week and we had a ball.. Charlotte was so so excited to meet them and Lotus got a real kick out of the mum playing up to her antics... her mum said that Lotus reminds her of Danny Devito.. mmm we will have the class clown I am sure...
We are in full swing at work so arrangements are being made to cover when I am away, but it should be the quiet before the storm period anyway for what I do.
We got a new kitty called Snowbelle, name partly in memory of Ellie, and she is pure white... she had been advertised a number of times over and over and turns out has not really been housetrained and not attached well (hence why people didn't want to keep her) so we have our work cut out... lucky for her we dealt with Ellie in bad shape for some time. She came from interestate on a long long truck ride (the prior owner had a trucking business and was happy to send her interstate if she got a good home). The poor driver had been smoking heavy all the way and not really stopped because his wife told him not to open the cab or she would run away... she did have a cage though, but he let her out most of the time.
Anyway Rainbow and Snowbelle seem to be good mates at chasing one another but we will have some behaviour management happening for a while... Lotus keeps saying Snowbelle is her friend, and not my friend, but she will get over that.
Lotus's language has expanded a lot although the visiting friend said she could not understand it all and picked on her mispronounciation a bit - we just take it all in our stride and are thankful for the medical help she has had given none of this would have happened in China.
Someone just returned from Lotus's SWI saying it was overloaded with SN children - sigh!! And there is a boy listed with an agency with a Cl/CP that could pass as a biological brother to Charlotte..... if only that were an option here... and with singles...
Burma looks like another good place to visit and Air Asia now offers flights through Kuala Lumpur or KL so we might go that at some stage, perhaps on the way to visit the girls SWIs next year,,, but time will tell... we need cheap flights and good dates to do it in, and not the middle of winter for northern China...
