'ADOPTING A CHILD WON'T CHANGE THE WORLD, BUT FOR THAT CHILD, THE WORLD WILL CHANGE!'Jen Bootehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10878194550972878244noreply@blogger.comBlogger752125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077679.post-80126608309830276752015-11-06T20:03:00.000+11:002015-11-07T08:04:14.608+11:00First campOn Wednesday I sent you off to your first camp. 2 nights away. You pulled out of going to Beechworth last year because you were just too unsure. This year I have encouraged you - even though there have been times (especially the last 2 nights) where you have almost cried yourself to sleep because you didn't want to go.<br />
<br />
The morning of camp we were just about to walk out the door when my pager went off. Thankfully daddy was close by and he was able to take over. I wasn't sure what this would mean for you - but I now think it was actually a good thing.<br />
<br />
So, off you went. <br />
<br />
Today you returned. You have had an awesome time. You did so many activities and found a real love for rock climbing...and I'm told you are very good at it.<br />
<br />
You did so well at first (I knew you had to be tired), but then when bed time was announced - you melted into tears....and that's how I had to leave you. <br />
<br />
I remember only too well how I used to feel when I came home from camps or anything similar. As much as it's nice to be home - you miss the friendships and fun that was had.<br />
<br />
Needless to say - I don't think it will be your last!<br />

November was 'Suixi Girls Birthday' month! We love the Suixi girls gatherings :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, of course, that was only 1 weekend. Lots of other things happened too.</div>

After we arrived back from Cambodia Mummy was very unwell. We decided to head straight to one of our favourite places - Omeo. Your teacher has her home there (it's on the market but we are getting to use it when we can). It's a beautiful spot to come and just enjoy the mountain air and have a rest without tv. A great time for daddy and daughter to play games too.</div>

It was also the month we celebrated Graham's 60th. We have had a wonderful month. Whilst there, the last two times, I've photographed some of the babies that are born into Katrina's program - Mother's Heart. It is such a privilege. Amongst all that, there were lots of fun times to be had though.<br />

Wow, what a month September has been.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I feel like I've barely seen my family between trips to Nagambie, Yea and Benalla for training. All involved overnight stays - one was 4 nights away.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've loved the training and getting amongst people again - but I've really missed my family.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It will be evident in my photo's ..... because they're mostly about me and what I've been doing rather than about my little girl, who I've missed more than I can say.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But, the month is over and soon we'll be on our way to Cambodia and lots of fun family times again.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Early this month you and I headed to Melbourne to help Pa and Nanna sort their garden out. Sadly you ended up unwell. The upside was that you slept in the car! This n.e.v.e.r. happens these days!</div>

The street my Dad and Mum have moved into in Lilydale is such a beautiful street!...especially in Spring. Here is a picture of their garden finished and their street.</div>

We did driver training in Yea. We popped in to a coffee shop for 1/2 an hour and while we were there someone tried to reverse back in their car and trailer and took out part of the Ambulance! Sadly that was the end of our training!</div>

Why? Well, I've made the decision to become an ACO. An ACO is an Ambulance Community Officer. I have quite a bit of training to complete before we leave for Cambodia in October. Needless to say - photographs have had to take a back seat!<br />
<br />
Doesn't mean we didn't get to enjoy some really lovely times together. July was a huge month so this one needed to be a bit quieter anyway :-)<br />
<br />
First up was a walk on the cool weekend morning to have some photo's taken with the early August wattle whose sight is so welcome after a long winter....<br />

June in review.....June is the first month of winter here. There are times when you would never know it though. It doesn't feel like winter most of the time. It's like spring or probably more like Autumn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, we were long sleeves....but there's still enough warmth to dance in the sunshine....</div>

This month your Mum's Dad and Mum are making the big (well they are almost 80!) move back to city life. We took the long weekend in June and traveled over Mt Hotham for the last time ~ to help them pack up. Here's some moments from that journey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The summer fires have certainly left their mark on the beautiful landscape of Mt Hotham....</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but nothing can take away from it's beauty. I so love Falls Creek which we live close to, but you can't beat the long distance views of Mt Hotham....</div>

We took a few little journeys....this day was to the beach. We won't get there often now that Nan and Pa are in Melbourne so I took the opportunity and I'm so glad we did. You loved exploring and I love photographing at the beach</div>

On our way home Mt Hotham put on it's beautiful white dress ups just for us....a way of saying thank you for all the times you've traveled over me and it's like it just knew that I loved driving through the snow and seeing the winter wonderland. I feel such wonder when I do.</div>

On a beautiful Saturday morning the 3 of us headed out for a walk on the 'Gorge track'. We hadn't been on this walk before. It was a special few hours where the 3 of us just enjoyed nature and each other. </div>

and then there are my 'word of the day' to photograph where I am taken back in time to when you were placed in my arms. The Orphanage children make these and we were given one as a momento. The word for the day was 'Prized possession' and this truly is. I love it and it brings back very special memories when I look at it.</div>

We're here to help them move.<br />
We've had such a lovely time...although it's involved a lot of packing, we've still managed to have a lot of fun together.<br />
<br />
One thing we did today was watch a movie from the 'Love comes softly series' by Jeanette Oke. I wondered if you would last the distance with a movie that had no animation and quite a few older people themes. It's a beautiful story, sure it has it's hardships, but it's beautiful still. A movie thats centre focus is on God. <br />
<br />
I struggled through tears quite a few times...especially at the beautiful ending. My tears doubled however when I saw you wipe a tear from your eyes. I was stunned and touched. You had obviously understood the complexity of the story in some innocent way and it had touched your heart.<br />
<br />
You certainly touched mine by allowing it to touch yours.<br />
<br />
What a precious mummy moment. One I hope never, ever to forget xxJen Bootehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10878194550972878244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077679.post-29183475108569445162013-05-31T22:42:00.000+10:002013-07-26T22:42:59.775+10:00Some more bits and pieces of May<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You love almost everything .... but you do have a great sense of right and wrong. You are learning what it is to be offended and to offend. You are sensitive when things happen that you know will hurt others.<br />
<br />
We have had some tough times as a family.....but I'm grateful that you are mostly unaware. If mummy has cried you will come and hug me. That is all I need. If I'm stressed and not coping as well, you say to me "take a big breath mummy". How could I not smile at that. Now I'm teaching you that the best thing to do when you feel stressed or pressured....is to pray.<br />
<br />
Tonight, as we were driving home, you were talking to me about tennis and you said 'myself taught me how to.....' I smiled big because it's such a sweet thing to say. There's lots you are aware of now and lots you still struggle to get your tongue around.....but you are getting there. Your reading is great (although Mrs. Franzke has decided to put you back to level 19 so you pick up the story lines better and can retell) and I'm delighted with how you are taking your weekly spelling challenge in your stride. At first, if you got a word wrong, you would fall apart. Now you are learning that it's ok to get it wrong first..... perseverance will get you there. Such a big thing for a little girl to learn.<br />
<br />
You love gymnastics, which you started this term, and you are really enjoying tennis still. These are the two things we will be sticking with. Tennis will stop in June and resume later in August (it's just toooo cold here!). It will be nice, in the cold months, to only go out once a week.<br />
<br />
I pray you find a very special little friend.....someone you feel comfortable with always. There is one little girl you love....but she has a best friend and this causes problems at times.<br />
<br />
We have no idea what the future will hold. Our home is on the market and we are considering a move to Bendigo....but we will wait and see what seems right. It's a very big decision.<br />
<br />
We get on so well and I cherish those times when you just want a 'huggle'. Where you wrap your little arms around my neck and just rest there. In the mornings, when you don't really feel up to going to school (this only started this year and only because you are struggling at school) you will come and put your head on me and just rub into me like you want to hide. We talk it through and then you are better. We have been for a ride after church the last 2 Sunday's and it has been so much fun. You have giggled and sang your way through the whole 12kms. You love it. Daddy was able to join us the last time and that was extra fun. We take a picnic lunch and eat that before we head off. The lovely things we can do as a family together make my heart sing.<br />
<br />
You still love TV (you'd watch it all day if I let you!), but we only watch it occasionally Never before school (that would definitely make us late!). You are enjoying the app 'Dragon Skies' on the iPad....I find it frustrating....but you persevere!. You are also really enjoying colouring and making books with your colouring. You like to re-write books that you read and your skills with colouring are coming along beautifully.<br />
<br />
You like all things pink and princess....and I'm so glad! That's the sort of little girl I always dreamed I'd have. You are starting to dress yourself a bit more these days and you are attempting to do your own hair! (that's fun to see :). We have even started a 'reward' chart for you now and you are (at the moment) enjoying the challenge. It is time for some responsibility I'm afraid sweetheart! You love to sleep-in these days.....most days I have to wake you from a deep sleep at 7.30am....I'm not looking forward to the teenage years although I should have known after the way you slept as a toddler!<br />
<br />
I know the little cherub who adores her mummy is not going to be here forever. I pray you will still adore me....but I know it will look different. Today...all I can do....is cherish the now.<br />
<br />
love<br />
Mummy xxx<br />

You adore her and the two of you play so well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We picked Erin and Jas the dog up and went for a walk and a bit of fun at the rockpools.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love seeing you together. I love the innocent fun you have together.</div>

Makes my heart smile big.</div>

Well, another adventure. I headed of on a dull and dreary Wednesday to pick up a car from Adelaide. I flew from Albury to Melbourne and then from Melbourne to Adelaide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't fly well at the best of times these days and I exhausted every possibility in the hope that I would be able to go by train (or at least part the way by train) but it worked out cheaper to fly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a huge day ~ I left home at about 9am and arrived in Adelaide at 6pm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The gentleman I was buying the car from picked me up from the airport and drove me to his place where I collected the car and headed off. The pictures don't show it....but it was horrible below the clouds! It was pouring when I left Adelaide at about 7.15 so I decided I just needed to get as far as I could. I made it to Murray Bridge...nothing like as far as I hoped. It was raining so hard I just didn't feel confident in a new car.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stayed in a quirky motel and settled in for the night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next morning I listened to the owner of the Motel and stayed long enough to visit the RAA to get some things sorted out. I didn't help anything sadly, so I was a few hours behind in getting away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I drove many miles and along the way, once place I stopped in was Nhill (the hospital where I was born) and Kaniva, where Dad and Mum took me home to. I have no memories at all....but it was just interesting to go back there.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was just too exhausted and couldn't make it home so ended up staying the night in Shepparton. I was glad I did and actually had a lovely dinner on my own in a Thai restaurant there. I was glad to be home and now this beautiful Suby has a new owner!</div>

Ashley is home schooled and is absolutely delightful. She is one of 5 children.</div>

You re-connected with one of the other China girls while we were in Bendigo and you got on so well with her, so when we received an invite to her 8th birthday party I decided we should go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were lucky enough to be able to stay at the absolutely beautiful home of our friends in Clifton Hill (part of our Suixi adoption family). They were away for the weekend so we had this home to ourselves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I felt like I was on a luxury holiday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, regardless of all that ~ it was a pirate party and I luckily had a girly pirate outfit given to me by my sister in law. Phew.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can see from these photo's (and video) that it was a blast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I planned to go home after the party, but decided to spend another night in luxury and drive home on Sunday. Great weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I delight in you my sweet child. You are amazing, sensitive, loving and caring.<br />
<br />
I so enjoy the pictures and stories you are writing at the moment and I love how, when you are with friends, you write each other letters. You don't hesitate to put 'love' Ebony...even though some children do. Is that good? I don't know but I love it anyway.<br />
<br />
You're reading at around level 22 now....such a big jump. Only last week you've jumped from 19 to 22. You blow me away with your antics and your words and your ability now to understand things and the way you try your best to express things.<br />
<br />
I get 'you're the best mum' a LOT now. We get on so well. As soon as I take some time to sit on the couch and watch something we both enjoy (The Block, Masterchef, kids movies, The Voice) you can't sit beside me and snuggle in quickly enough.<br />
<br />
If there's work to be done outside or in the garage you are (mostly) very quick to come and help. If there's something happening at school you are quick to write a card or put together some of your toys to give away.<br />
<br />
When we went to Bendigo and walked around a market you saw an aboriginal painting and you said 'please mummy, can I give that to Jo (your art teacher). It was only $15 so I agreed. This week you were able to give it to her and Jo was incredibly touched and sent home a lovely note to you and I. Your heart makes my heart sing.<br />
<br />
You still love your barbies and you love your collection of stuffed toys. <br />
<br />
I recently bought you 'The Beginners Bible' because the one you had was really a 'baby bible' and the alternative was small but so was the print!!!!. I wasn't sure which one to select so the lady in the Christian bookshop in Bright pointed me toward this bible. It wasn't my choice but she was so right! It came with a twin CD which holds all the words and stories in the actual Bible and I am finding you in your room with the CD playing on your iPod while you follow along with the book. L.O.V.E.<br />
<br />
You are loving our 'new' Church and really enjoying Kids Church. Not at first because of change, but last week you were happy to go without a backward look. Once again a happy/sad mummy moment.<br />
<br />
I love you my sweet child....and miss the yesterdays as I look forward to the tomorrows xxJen Bootehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10878194550972878244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077679.post-8308949251618749572013-04-24T21:49:00.000+10:002013-07-18T17:30:40.042+10:00Random April memories<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This day was the local 'Music Muster'. I don't usually go, but I volunteered to help on the food tent for the School. We had a blast! I planned to stay an hour and stayed about 4. You loved it too and ran around everywhere checking things out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We rode our bikes and before we left we tried one of these 'potato twirl' things. They were VERY moorish....but probably very bad for us too! Lucky we rode :)</div>

After much deliberation (well, probably not a lot really!) you managed to ride your bike down our street!<br />
<br />
The last time we tried you were terrified.<br />
<br />
We live on a VERY steep street and I don't blame you at all for being a bit fearful.....but after our recent trips around town....and a few attempts at braking downhill....you mastered it!<br />
<br />
Today was your first day back at school after the holidays and we've had a big end to them so I really didn't know how you would feel about riding.....especially on your own bike.<br />
<br />
You see, for the last few years when we've riden to school, you've been on the 'tag-a-long' so we both pedal but I brake, steer etc.<br />
<br />
Now I can sell the tag-a-long and I know you'll be fine on your own.<br />
<br />
So, so proud of you. I wish I could show how steep our street is but I can't.<br />
<br />
Here are some photo's of you riding....not today but only a week or so ago.<br />
<br />

My dear friend Mel, her husband Andrew and their little princess Sophia came to visit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I met Mel through my first online Photography Course.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We hit it off pretty quickly and we've been friends ever since (course was in Jan 2011).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have come to visit a few times now and it's lovely to spend time with a like minded photographer.</div>

<br />
I have watched you over the past week as we've visited some of your Suixi sisters and now you have little Miss Sophia here. You are gentle, you are kind, you are thoughtful.<br />
<br />
A perfect big sister.<br />
<br />
I feel so very proud of you.<br />
<br />
For all your problems at the moment you are shining in the ways that are really important.<br />
<br />
I'm seeing how much you are growing and how much more grown up you are. This week more than any other I've noticed a big change. You have just moved up a level in your understanding and in your ability to be thoughtful and caring of others. Yesterday we took Miss Sophia (just 4) to the shops and you helped her with her seatbelt, helped her out of the car, held her hand as we walked around the shops then you took her to the right side of the car and got her into her carseat before getting in yourself and making sure her belt was fastened.<br />
<br />
You are playing games with her that I thought you might not want to because they are such young games but you are willing to be there for her and just play whatever Miss Sophia wants to play.<br />
<br />
You even wake with a sheepish smile on your face when Miss S has come in and woken you when you are definitely not ready to be woken. 7 1/2 has shown me a little girl who prefers to sleep in a bit whenever she can!<br />
<br />
You are my sunshine sweet girl. You are my world. You make me very proud xx<br />
