Everybody has a different lifestyle and living experience. These snapshots from the last couple of weeks does give a hint of ours, anyway. Busy busy busy! but with lots of time for the improtant things, such as play and gardening, fmaily and friends.
BTW: You will see some pics of Sugar and Spice’s friend Tigger. Guess what? she is going to have a new sister. Check out the Drinkwater’s blog for the cute pics of tigger’s new sis!

- Reading and relaxing with my girls on the back deck.
-
- Shucking peas. One of those useful life skills.
-
- spice actually loves being outside. She’s decided to become an entomologist…”I will work with bugs. And be a mama too.” Of course.
-
- Teaching the girls to swing the bat. Thank heavens they are MUCH more coordinated than I am.
-
- Building sheet forts on the back deck. Tea parties to follow shortly.
-
- Keeping on top of the weeding and harvesting.
-
- Gramma and Auntie T earning their room and board.
-
- You go away for a weekend, and what do you get? a lot of veggies, that’s what.
-
- My cousin S, all the way from the UK. It was so nice to see her!
-
- Yum – Indian food at P and M’s house. M gave 150 people Indian cooking lessons last year. Noone more appreciative than the girls, though. It’s their FAVOURITE food.

- He looks grumpy at the flash – but actually we really enjoy getting around this way in the hood. Even at night with a BBQ and wet little swimmers tucked in.

- A lovely lakeside picnic! Both Tigger’s family and K&S have referrals for little girls form China!
-
- One evening at the lake – the ‘boys’ watch the girls swimming from their lawnchairs.
What a lovely post. This is just good, good stuff.
As always, thanks for sharing. You continue to keep some of us looking forward to our “someday”…
WOW [Nicky]!!,,That HAS TO BE the shortest time frame for a Chinese adoption EVER!!!!

Yes – it was super fast. For both of our sets of friends. Just a couple of months. BUT the girls were both in the waiting children program, AND there was a jam in the system for a bunch of Americans for a while, which let our friends slip thrughin record time.
We’re very happy for them too!
