I have kept myself rather busy this week.  It has helped with the waiting game.
At the beginning of the week, I bought a new computer and set it all up by myself.  I then got quotes and arranged to get my roof reshingled (ouch).  I finished putting up my gazebo.  I installed a different infant car seat (long story). 
On Wednesday,  I hung out with Jo Ann and adorable 6 week old Michael.  He is so tiny.  We went to the Employment Services Office and inquired about maternity/adoption leave.  It was a whole adventure for us.  I love spending time with them.   Jo-Ann lets me try Mommy things on Michael.  I nearly put his diaper on backwards (no joke).   Jo-Ann, who happened to be eyeing me by the sidelines, kindly redirected me.  I do know that tabs go to the back... I think I just got nervous.  Here's to hoping I don't diaper Aimée's head!!!
On Thursday, I met up with some very special people.  I went to Kingston to meet Sarah who has just been adopted by Jaqueline and her husband from the same orphanage as Aimée.  What a lovely little girl.    It was amazing to see how well adjusted she is considering all that she has been through in the last month.  I also got to meet Leslie and Jaqueline in person.  Leslie and her family are patiently waiting for a referral, which I hope will happen very soon for them.  Besides being blessed with a beautiful daughter, this adoption process has allowed me to meet some of the kindest people around.   The day left me with warm fuzzies all over!

Michelle, it was such a pleasure meeting you! I cannot wait to hear from you FROM VIETNAM. I hope that happens very soon.
Hoping and praying you are on a plane shortly and enjoying Aimee in person.
