All is quiet...

Well, I feel like I need to post something...but I don't have a thing new to report! Was a very quiet weekend around here. We did go and get fingerprinted again, this time for the FBI clearance. This is something new and we haven't had to do this before. The lady did such a wonderful job (not!), that I am sure the fingerprints will be rejected. The fingerprints are all smeared and messy, so just ANOTHER step we'll be repeating in the near future. I have heard some horror stories of families whose fingerprints get rejected over and over...which holds up the entire adoption.

Other than that...we learned today at church one parishioner donated over $500,000 to build the belltower for the new church! Construction is to start soon, and it will now be complete with the tower. What a generous gift.

Alright...this is the most boring post ever. I'll go to bed now, or at least pretend I am...I have laundry to put away, lunches to make, a three year old to put to bed, lesson plans to do...then maybe, just maybe...bed.

A Lunar Eclipse on my Birthday!

Must be a sign of something...good I hope. Saw it out the boy's bedroom window, pretty neat!

Hubby cooked a crab leg dinner (I love crab legs! yum!) and I received some great things for my birthday. Mom got me the "Magic Bullet" smoothie maker. I didn't realize how versatile that little machine is! It can make pancake mix, chicken salad and macaroni and cheese! I'll let you all know if it works as well as it claims to! Mike got me a beautiful Eco Drive Watch (it winds itself, and never need a battery). He put $15 worth of lottery tickets in one of my cards, and low and behold we won...$5. Go figure.

Caden is recooperating from that nasty flu bug...knock on wood, the rest of us are well. We are all taking Tamiflu as a precaution, and so far, it's workin! Time to get back to work, as I am making a redo quiz for my grad students. Last week, the entire class failed, so I tossed those right in the trash. Maybe I was having a bad day last week when I came up with the questions! This week should be better since I am coming up with new questions as I eat ice cream cake!

Think positive! At least that's what we're all doing...

We got a positive test, for the FLU bug that is. Caden is victim #1. Fever of 104, terrible headache, no appetite, and feeling crudy. They did the FLU test at his pediatrician today, and it came back "Flaming Red" as the dr. put it.

Anyway, he said it's quite likely the entire household will soon catch it as well. And yes, we all had the FLU shot (Caden included)...except Mike. He swears he won't catch it, so we'll keep you posted on that one.

Boys night out...Monster Trucks

WE GOT our 171H!

Ummmm, Hello! We got our 171H in the mail today! We just mailed in our homestudy three days ago! Totally unexpected! This is the paper we need to get matched to a child! :) Now we are waiting for our agency to get their license (should happen in the next month or so...)

Yippee!!!!

Juno

Last night Mike and I went to see the movie, Juno, which we have been wanting to see for quite a while. It's about a teenage mom, who seeks an adoptive family for her unborn child. It was a GREAT movie. We both really enjoyed it. I wouldn't recommend children see it (I am not even sure what it is rated) but catch this flick if you get a chance!

In an unrelated topic--Anyone have a three year old who will not sleep in past 5am? We cut napping out to see if that would do the trick...NOPE! Any advice, PLEASE!?

Starting over...

Third times a charm, right? That seems to be our family's theme lately. Our blog stopped working today and I have tried everything under the sun to fix it. So, this is our third blog and our third attempt to adopt successfully! Hope you like the new look!
Enjoy...
