what day is it????

Well, today was an eventful day to say the least! We met Pat at 10:30, then Shaun arrived at 11:00 with his smile on! We had a short meeting with Pat and Shauns local social worker about his schedule, then that was it.......he is ours!

Today we did some sight seeing with Dad and Janet! We went on the sky train to the river, then took a river boat north for about an hour. Shaun slept most of the way there, but was wide awake the rest of the day. We stopped at China Town to see what we could find for Abby.....I'm not telling. LOL !!!! I think I took about few hundred pics!
Then we came back to our hotel and had a nice refreshing swim before dinner. Tonight I actually had real Pad Thai......it was excellent! Shaun made a nice mess with his steamed rice, then enjoyed Daddy's leftover onion slices from his cheese burger! Let's just say this boy CAN and WILL eat!

No pictures tonight....sorry! It has been very hard with the time dif. to web cam and call family......that is really the only hard part for us. I know some of you have tried to skype (Sharon and Lynn) but we had to get going for our meetings. I will try to post more in the morning, but it may not be possible now that we have the little one all the time. (lynn, I don't have your skype name!)

About Shaun.....he is a handful! He has obviously never been told "no" so it is quite a challenge at times, but over all, he is just great. He is taking a few steps at a time and babbles a bit. His smile and laughs are incredible. Abby is just going to love him! We cannot wait to web cam with her at Grandma's so she can finally see us with her brother.


Until next time!

SOOOOOO TIRED TONIGHT! ( ps. Shaun is wearing 12 month jammies tonight!....he is so tiny for 16 months! Just about the size Abby was when we went to China.....but she was 10 months!)
