Congratulation Chris and family

you are gonna need an advent calendar just to count down the days until Rowan comes home LOL Smile I fell in love with my little seal boy the moment I saw him too.... he will be turning one on xmas day I hope little Rowan enjoys his first xmas in his forever home just as much as Milo will
Thanks guys. My wife is dreading the next few weeks, She says I'm gonna be impossible to live with until we can pick up Rowan.

Julie, this may be a silly question, but what is an advent calendar? I've never heard of it.
It's a Christian Thing Smile

Wikipedia Wrote:An Advent calendar is a special calendar used to count the days of Advent. Today, they are mostly made for children, in a rectangular form containing chocolate
History:
The origins of the Advent calendar come from German Lutherans who, at least as early as the beginning of the 19th century, would count down from 24 to the days of Advent physically. Often this meant simply drawing a chalk line on the door each day, beginning on December 1. Some families had more elaborate means of marking the days, such as lighting a new candle (perhaps the genesis of today's Advent wreath) or hanging a little religious picture on the wall each day.
Hope that helps a bit

Hi Chris

Paul has given you the answer below ...however I feel that meaning has gone out the window along with everything else christmas is mean't to stand for ---- basically its a calendar that has little boxes with chocolate inside and each day from the 1st December the kids open and eat the chocolate and count days till santa comes!! or in your case Rowan

PPS You will notice a huge difference in Rowan as he grows I love seeing their colours and pattern come out have a look at milos pics on my signature these are 10wks 3 mths 6mths and now 11 mths
