On Sunday we had an exciting day as we met my biological mother & her family. I have 4 new siblings, 2 half sisters & 2 half brothers! Kyla is the oldest, the boys are the middle kidlets and are loud & rowdy (LoL), the youngest is Kyra, she's the sweetheart of the bunch. Although the 2 hr car ride to meet them was rather nerve wracking, the conversation went smoothly and we all got along fine. It was great to finally meet her & be able to begin a new chapter in our lives.
Lucky Mealie has another Grandma! :)

Our Family Blog

I have stolen the idea from a friend of mine to start a new blog, this one about our whole family. As Amélia gets older (she's almost 13 mos already) I figured we should include our family events on her blog. Considering we posted a lot about family on the other one, we'll make it more appropriate this way.

October 11, 2006 : Amélia got her 1 yr vaccinations, did so well! She got a needle in each little arm but only cried for a minute for each. She's growing well, she's 24lbs 2oz and already 30 1/4 inches long! That evening to make her feel better 'cos her arms were a little dead I covered her head with stickers... LoL it kept her happy & amused! October 12, 2006 : I have finally recieved contact with my biological mother. Positive response & the potential of meeting & starting a relationship! We also found out that I have 4 half siblings, the oldest turning 17 in January! It's a very exciting time, I've been looking for my biological mother for about 5 yrs now.
