New York in October

Anthony, Ollie and I spent six glorious days in New York with beautiful weather, pumpkin picking and having a great time with Nonna and our dear friends the Vidals who also happened to be visiting there at the same time.

Where does time go?

I cannot believe it is October. Soon the year will end. Soon the decade will end! My Goodness sometimes it seems the new millenium just began! It is so true when they say that time flies even more quickly when you have children. Ollie is growing by leaps and bounds, she loves her preschool and now that she has learned to swim all by herself she asks to go to the pool every afternoon. She can swim to the bottom and pick things up from the floor of the pool and is so proud of herself. What a joy this child is in our lives.

I am also happy to say I have been hired as an "Inter Country Outreach Coordinator" for Gladney, which means I will be giving seminars to families that are considering adoption. It is basically what I was doing for CAII and I could not be happier to have been given this opportunity. I truly am very passionate about this work and love having the opportunity to speak to others about the possibility of adoption and how it has changed our lives.
