Up and Away

Here are some pictures from our family kite-flying outing this past Sunday. Unfortunately, there wasn't much William could do other than point at the kites, then decide he had his fill of watching colorful fabric flapping around in the wind.

I am reminded of our last post-placement visit with our social worker two months ago. As part of her routine questioning, she asked, "So, what kinds of activities do you do together as a family?" That question gave me pause because frankly, there aren't that many things we can do together in which everyone - including 1 year-old William - can be actively involved. Fortunately, she has children herself and understands the complexity involved.

Speaking of reports, our next post-placement report is due in two months. Our final report is due in March 2009 when William will have been with us for a whole year. Then - hallelujah! - we can finally put to rest all of the formalities of the adoption and carry on with our lives together like any typical family.

Grant loves watching when we fly our dragon kite. He just points and says, "Kite! High!!" :)

I didn't realize that for Taiwan you needed a post-placement at 1 year. Wow.

Actively involved... hehe... I understand that all too well. Looks like a great kite flying day. Wow... I can't imagine the feeling to know what it is like to see the end of the adoption paperwork and just moving forward. p.s. I'm going CrAzY ;0) Sara
