The Wongs Adoption Journey: Final post!
http://thewongsjourney.blogspot.com/2009/08/final-post.html
Referral picture Isabella aged 7 months. Updated picture June 2008. Isabella at 12 months. August 2009, Isabella 26 months! We started the blog to allow friends and family to follow the later part of our adoption journey. The blog was started in November as we anticipated our referral in early 2008! I find it so hard to describe Isabella as she is so pretty, loving, intelligent, and funny. We truly have been blessed to have Isabella in our lives. Isabella is now a very happy, bright, loving 2 year old!

The Wongs Adoption Journey: July 2009
http://thewongsjourney.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
I haven't posted any pictures of Isabella for a while. Here are a few taken when I took my MIL and Isabella to the London aquarium. We first took her there with her cousin last year shortly after we got back from China but she was too young to really appreciate it. This year she loved it especially the sharks! We then met Ba Ba who works very near the Aquarium and we all went for a really yummy lunch at Yo Sushi! Well as you know we accepted an offer on our house before it was marketed! And she likes it!

The Wongs Adoption Journey: December 2008

My First Christmas at Home. Isabella was a bit overwhelmed by Christmas! We bought her a tricycle and dolls pram, and a few toys! Her little face just lit up when she saw the bike by the Christmas tree, it was priceless. She then sat on the bike why we helped her open her other presents. She wasn't sure about opening them and ripping the paper and kept looking at me to see if I would tell her off! She just didn't want to let go of anything! So we haven't done any running, but in the new year its time to ...

The Wongs Adoption Journey: January 2009

And was thrashing about, trying to get back into her Nannies arms! Hubby was happily chatting to the orphanage director and was oblivious! The Dutch couple were filming their family day and by this stage were giving us the evil eye as I am sure that all they could probably hear in their video was Isabella's screams. But once we got outside, Isabella calmed down and soon as the van started driving back to the hotel she fell asleep in my arms. With her first giggles and smiles! And how quick she was! We ha...

Not a good day! Today I went to the gym for one of my mid week runs. Isabella goes to the creche for an hour to start introducing her to being in a nursery and away from Ma Ma for when I go to work. Its a private gym! And whilst on the treadmill my purse was stolen. Can you believe it! I put all my personal stuff on a machine and then found the programme I wanted wasn't working and moved to another machine only 2 machines away.The gym was very quiet! Drivers licence and switch/maestro cards as my credit ...

The Wongs Adoption Journey: Getting ready to sell?
http://thewongsjourney.blogspot.com/2009/07/getting-ready-to-sell.html
Getting ready to sell? Last week we had an estate agents come around to value our home. We haven't done the home owners pack yet so cant legally market our house, so its not officially for sale. But the estate agents sent two people to view the property last week. Lots of cleaning and turning our house into a 'show home'! We are happy to rent for a few months as it then puts us in a stronger position as house cash buyers. We are nearly done with the DIY! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). CJ et al- Cath.

The Wongs Adoption Journey: Disney and catch up post!
http://thewongsjourney.blogspot.com/2009/07/disney-and-catch-up-post.html
Disney and catch up post! We had a fantastic few days away in France enjoying the beautiful European hot weather spell that we had. We travelled to Euro Disney on the Tuesday arriving mid day. Isabella is such a good traveller the train journey for her was a breeze and she was so well behaved. I had stocked up on crayons, colouring books and stickers in anticipation! For the first two nights we stayed in the Euro Disney resort. Isabella had her own bed in our room and loved it! And he simply just gave us...
