What a roller coaster of emotions these past almost 4 weeks have been..
From the initial transition planning meeting to - Meeting our precious Pip & Pop!
Spending time with them and getting to know there little likes and dislikes, and we are sure there will be more..
Hearing them call us Mummy and Daddy! this has a level of emotion that can not be quantified.
Laughing and crying with them.
and oh so much more....
it really is an inexplicable scenario to try to share..
And it is an experience that those that have gone through it would agree, no matter what they faced they would do it again.. because we all know as parents who cherish the lives entrusted to us,...
We would do anything for our kids.
(Kat) With the added emotion of my mum passing in the second week it really has been a mixture of both great joy and great sadness..
As life moves along though we look forward to the end of the main part of the transition, the final hand over and those two precious angels coming into our home and lives forever..
its only a matter of days now before this takes place, and the anticipation surrounding this high.
we look forward to changing our blog title from I'm pregnant too...... to I was pregnant too...
Much love Kat

LINKED LINKED LINKED LINKED
OMGoodness it happened, the link day has come and Gone and we have been matched!! Hallelujah!!
The overwhelming joy that has struck us both and our family has been amazing and we some humbled by the amazing blessing that is being poured out on us.
For future reference to the kids we have decided for their privacy to be called Pip and Pop...
That's right I did say kids, a sibling group to be exact. :)
Such precious little angels that are to be called our own, that will be with us in their "forever family"
There are no words to explain the excitement, anticipation, joy, love, and everything else that is going on right now, and we have not even met these two little treasures yet.
We have seen photos and now know their names, and some more specifics about them and all I can say is the only way is up from here..
Thank you all for your love and prayers and support these past few days, we are grateful beyond words.
We will keep you updated as things progress, and as we begin our lives together in this new forever family.
Much love and Grace

4 Sleeps and many dreams
Today has been spent baking goodies to give as presents this year, and sewing up a storm for a little niece of ours. During today Matt and I have both been dreaming of so many things.
Today while being all creative I caught myself dreaming of kids running around the house and out in the yard, visions that verged of memories of making a floury mess in the kitchen as rolled out the cookie dough to be cut with cookie cutters and then baked leaving a warm and comforting smell of chocolate and cinnamon through the house.
And while sewing up little outfits for a loved ones little girl, I could not help but dream of making them for our own kids. These dreams and thoughts now see to be so close and so tangible now as we edge towards Christmas and on into the new year of 2012.
Matt came to me a couple of times and helped where he could, telling me rather giddily hey we could do this with our kids, and how he saw some bright coloured kids utensils in the shops the other day and how we could get some of them so they had their own to use.
As I completed each little outfit it went from a "oh I like that fabric" earlier on in the day to "those look wonderful, you could make some like those for our kids". my response was well maybe but would have to change the fabric and pattern for a boy because I am not so sure they would want pretty pink flowers or a dress to wear.
The Truth of it all is, we have been dreaming a lot of late, and even more so the closer we get to Christmas.
Dreaming of :
Letters to Santa being written and sent out.
A Family Decorated tree, surrounded by presents and stockings waiting to be filled.
Sweet sleeping children tucked up in bed after a day of school or play.
A countdown to Christmas in sleeps with activities to whittle the time away.
Making and decorating Gingerbread men and cookies together.
Sitting around in the lounge room on Christmas Eve, reading the real story of Christmas and Jesus Birth.
Starting up so many of our own Christmas Traditions as a family
O so very many dreams to look forward to :)
It is our hope and our belief that once they come into our homes and our lives, no matter what thier previous experience of this time of the year has been in the past that they will come to love it, to celebrate it, to enjoy it and find peace.
Christmas is a time to feel love, to share love, and to give love.
Just in case I don't make it back on here before then, I hope and pray that each and everyone of you is blessed richly this Christmas with joy that overflows, with love the fills your heart and home, and with peace as we finish this year and begin a new.
Merry Christmas Everyone, and a Safe an Joyful New Year for 2012.
God Bless

Watch this clip, and open your hearts
during our Education Sessions we were presented with the following clip, it is reasons like the ones expressed in this clip that we know we are on the right path, and know that this is where God has prepared for us to go.
I suggest to any one of you who are watching this to have the tissues ready, to have your hearts and minds open to what you read and hear. If Adoption or Permanent Care or Foster Care is something you are considering watch this first.
