Change of plans.

Well it looks like I jinxed myself and I spoke too soon. Our travel date has been changed (tentatively) to leave on December 11th and return on January 2nd. Yes I will be there for the holidays and yes I know it sucks. On the positive side, Mike and the kids don't return to work/school till Jan 7th so it give us almost a week together as a "family of five". It will give Mike and the kids time to get to know Isaac and for Issac and myself to get over jet lag before all the routines start up again.
On another note...The director of our adoption agency is in Vietnam as we speak and she saw Isaac yesterday. She says he is beautiful, healthy, bright and active which was wonderful news for us to hear. We can't wait to finally meet him!

WE GOT A TRAVEL DATE!!!!!!!!!!!

December 6th is the big day! We leave Toronto at 10:30pm, have a stop over in Alaska (how cool is that!) and Hong Kong. We will be returning on December 23rd just before midnight WITH ISAAC. Wooohooo!!!! We are so excited that Isaac's first Christmas will be with us. We have been blessed that things have gone so well for us with his adoption (Oh, I hope I didn't say that too soon). Please keep us in your prayers for safe travels.

Christmas is coming!

There was a Hometown Christmas downtown this past weekend and the kids got to meet the "real" Santa. There were also real reindeer, hay rides, carollers, lights and the best part of all (according to Cam)... free hot dogs.

AVERY IS 6 TODAY!!!!!!!

New pictures of Isaac!!!!

These pictures were taken yesterday, Nov 5/07.

The days are becoming harder and longer as we are still waiting for a travel date. We are still hoping to have him home for Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Meet Captian Jack Sparrow and Emily the Corpse Bride.

Too Scaaaary!!!!!!!!!!

A bigger, healthier looking Isaac!

We received new pictures of Isaac that were taken on October 21. It looks like he has gained a bit of weight and is doing well (I think it has to do with all the prayers being said for him by his great Aunt Brenda).

No news on a travel date yet. We are still hoping to have him home for Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Hey Beautiful Day. Hey Beautiful Day.

Headed back to Cyprus Lake yesterday for some family fun and what a beautiful day it was. I can't beleive we are nearing the end of October and still wearing t-shirts...not that I am complaining. We took some terrific pictures. Take a look.

Avery just being....Avery!


Me and my Beau. (Avery took this picture. Pretty good eh?)



That's our eldest baby Rielly jumping off a cliff after a stick. He reverts back to his puppy days anytime he is around water. Poor guy is paying for all his fun today though.

The time has FINALLY come!!!!!!!!

We would like to introduce everyone to our newest addition.....



Isaac Minh Hoang
Born June 5, 2007. (He's a Gemini just like his mom)
As of October 1st he weighed 11lbs.

As you can probably guess we are absolutely thrilled with Isaac. He is 100% more perfect then we could have ever hoped for. Thanks to everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

To Isaac......Hold on tight baby boy. We'll be there soon to bring you home, hopefully in time to see Santa.

Karate Cam

Cameron has been asked to join a team within his karate club to represent his dojo at tournaments. He was one of a small number of yellow belts picked for the team. Cameron's sensei said that he is very dedicated and feels that he would do a good job representing the club. This also means that he is required to attend an extra class every week. Cam is pretty serious about his karate and is very excited that sensei pick him for the team. We are VERY proud of our karate kid!!!!!!!!!

On another happy note...

Cameron was named "EINSTEIN of the week" at school for reading a book well above his grade level. Again, we are so very proud of him!
