An Eventful Day December 21,2008
Thank you to all those who have sent messages or commented on our blog. It brightens our day to hear from our friends and family. Thanks again!
Well we have internet!!! Our facilitator and her husband brought the modem to our apartment yesterday. As soon as we we hooked up we were able to chat with my sister-in-law, then my sister and her family, and lastly we chatted with Darryl’s sister and her husband. After these conversations we couldn’t stop smiling. This technology of chatting and seeing our family that is so far away amazes us. I was even able to check all the updates on Facebook. This makes me feel closer to home.
Today we had a great day! We met up with a couple that here from P.E.I. that is adopting a daughter. Their appoinment was 2 days before ours and they are adopting a little girl that is 47 months old. After about 2 hours of walking in circles they met us at Mario’s restuarant. It was a real treat to visit people in English. We had our maps out to find where each of us is living and we think that we will be able to get together soon – maybe even tomorrow! Thanks to Shona and Darren (friends from Saskatoon who adopted their daughter from Ukraine 1.5 years ago) for getting us the contact info to hook up with this couple!
While out for the 4.5 hours Kaiden was very well behaved. He is really ‘going with the flow’ of things here. At the restaurant Kaiden ate chicken, french fries, and pizza. Darryl drank beer and I had a Diet Coke!
Well it time for Kaiden’s bath and then for our nightly Uno games and family movie. Last night we watched the Hunchback and tonight we are watching Surf’s Up.
Take care,
Darryl, Jeremy & Kaiden

Yes...isn't technology wonderful - especially when you are so far from loved ones. And Yay! We are thrilled you managed to connect with M&S and now have another Canadian couple to spend some time with - especially over the next few days as you wait for your next appointment. It's amazing what having some other people to talk to who are going through the same thing (and who can speak english!) can do for your spirits! Please say hello to Kaiden from Ivanna...she's looking forward to their next playdate (I don't think she gets that it will be a while, but that's ok). We are also glad that he has managed to settle in so well with all the change. You remain in our thoughts and prayers,
Shona (and Darren and Ivanna)
Great that you are now linked up with cyperspace. We are praying for you and your next appt at the SDA. If you meet Mr. Oleniuk there, please say a previt from us. Could you email me M&S blog at murraydonna2008@yahoo.ca I had it on my work computer and now I'm home until the summer. Say a hi to them from us.
Take care, Donna & Murray
