May Update

If you are desperately waiting for something to happen and it relies totally on a time factor, is it better that you wish time to speed up, only to risk getting older faster? Such is my dilemma due to me notching up another 40-something birthday this month. May totally flew by and although that means we can add another month to our "wait" it also means I have added another year to my age! Such is life and of course it also means that our child or children are also a month older and it's another month we have missed out on them and their lives. Today is the 29th of May and 1 year ago we moved into this house at Boambee. Gosh another flash, whooosh... one year ago we were trudging up and down the highway from Urunga with car loads full of belongings. I remember thinking at the time, this time next year we will definitely be a family, and this new house will be filled with the sounds of children. OK, so not quite. Now I am thinking this time 2011 our house will be filled with the sounds of children. Damn goalposts keep moving! Lucky I am a sporting and competitive person otherwise I might not keep up!

I went to Filipino play group this month. A wonderful local groups of families with beautiful children adopted from the Philippines. There are a set of triplets, twins and two other little ones and now there is a little boy from ethiopia who has joined in as his parents are about to lodge their application to adopt from PI. YAY, there is now someone behind us in the queue. It's so lovely to know that our child(ren) will one day be playing with these children. I was glad I went, warmed my heart. Oh and the morning tea was pretty impressive! I think the mummy = play group = yummy treats lifestyle appeals to me!

Pray for June and the "call" to come in.
