Surgery is now on hold until we are all healthy; likely in the new year...
At least we can now relax about Christmas and enjoy a quiet one at home.
Happy Holidays!

December already
Well, it's almost 3 months to the day that we first met Aurora. Update long overdue, so here it is in a nutshell, and some photos:
October and November flew by with just simple days of getting into a rhythm and routine again. Kira loves preschool, chinese dance, and her new little sister "Aurorie". Aurora loves her big sister, and her new family and home. Not sure about the cats, but loves to tantalize and order them around. They are tolerant beasts. She comes to both of us now equally, and is a real cuddler. She has also settled well with eating, and loves most everything. Sleeping is also been smooth, but you never know when things could change, just to keep us on our toes!
The girls are 15 months apart, so they are keeping us busy. Overall, they're doing well, love to follow each other around, and copy each other. Aurora has discovered Kira's fun world of pretending, and goes along with the theme of the moment. They have their moments, but just typical sibling stuff.
Aurora has some surgery fast approaching that we were expecting from the beginning. She was born with a congenital heart defect, which has never been corrected, but would have been done so here at about 6 months of age. She has done really well considering, but does get tired very easily. She is a very strong willed and physically determined little tyke, which will help her through it all, I hope. Will try to keep an update going here. Her surgery date is for Dec 15, in Edmonton's Stollery Children's Hospital. Will be glad to get on with it and get it behind us now...
OK now for some updated photos from the past few months:
October 13 fun in the park
Oct 19 fun at home
More photos in the next post...
cheers,
Norma
