Happy Mother's day!

I woke up to the wonderful sounds of the kids in my room and breakfast in bed. what a great way to start the day!
I have been packing a few things. Mostly trying to get organised. I start off with the best of intentions then it kinda goes south and I stuff everything in the bags. I am trying to do better. so up to now I have written everything that is in 1 suitcase so that I know where evereything is. I have calculated that by having 2 suitcases each of a max of 50lbs...hey that is 300 lbs of stuff I can bring! then reality is that it is 300 lbs we have to lug around the airport...and by "we" I do mean Daniel. well that is my vision of things to be. I am so excited, there is only 1 weekend left until we leave! My birthday is in 4 days, and I have to remind myself it is coming, usually I am looking forward to it, but this year it pales in comparison to getting Kaï.
We have not had any more info on him. nothing since last october, it is hard not to imagine all sorts of stuff about him. even thought he had a ball in his hands doesn't mean he is athletic.., ya know that kind of stuff. I look forward to learning who he is. Mia has picked up a lot of sign language words, it is cute to see. She is not too sure that she will like this new addition to the family. mostly it is that she will not be the baby anymore, I think that is the big issue, so I keep repeating to her that she is ot A baby, she is MY baby always and forever, and even when she will have a baby of her own, she will still be my baby, she finds that idea kinda funny.
Sébastien was at the playgound today and he was taking care of this little 3 yr old boy, he turns to me and said: Je me pratique pour être le grand-frère à Kaï. ( translation: I am practicing to be Kaï's big brother ) how cute is that!!
