and it has been a year .............

so yesterday marked the anniversary of us meeting our little angel...We celebrated with a glass of champagne and some apple juice ( well Nelly had the end of a finger or two of champagne! ) this morning she slept in until 8 and today is the day that we will in future celebrate 'Adoption Day' this is the day that Nelly Grace Xiao'en became our daughter officially ....Today we spent the day as usual with a playgroup in the morning ( less said about that one the better as she was being a minx out for pinching all children in sight!! ) and this afternoon with the sun still shining and no rain ( what!!! ) we headed off for a walk that took rather a long time as she decided to push her buggy most of the way through the village stopping to wave at the people in the nursery! Then home for tea and cake with a candle...

It was lovely and we cannot quite believe how far literally we have all come in a year...she is a joy to us every day ..even when she whinges for England! and we cannot wait to see her and be with her every moring when we wake...
