Grandpa George picked 4.25 bushel of apples off our tree today.  I'll be making applesauce tomorrow, but tonight we eat these. 

Now we have been told that Brian will have a job offer by next Friday.  Haven't heard that one before. *La Sigh*

Well, today was the first day of preschool for Miriam and Evan.  They both did well.  Miriam's teacher reported that she didn't want to participate in coloring, but otherwise joined in all structured activities. Evan did VERY well with coloring and listening to the stories.  Their teacher is so proud of them! :)

Not only do we have a woman as a VP candidate, but we have a woman willing to wear her newborn son in a SLING!!! Check it out: Sarah Palin

Brian is still waiting on the job offer.... maybe next week. So we wait..... some more.

Poor Evan has his first major "little boy battle scar"! He and Sissy where playing twirling Dervish which, of course, ended in "we all fall down!"  Things were fine until Evan literally took a nose dive into the Ikea chair.  I didn't even know the chair has a corner on it!! But my boy (and his nose) found that wooden corner! I knew we were in trouble when I saw it happen... the screams and blood confirmed my fears.  

Looking to buy Ethiopian items and help out a good cause?  Check out this little online store. They have clothing, jewlery, toys, decor, and other Ethiopian items. All proceeds go to benefit Ethiopian Orphan Relief. Check it out.

I'm really almost afraid to say it.... BUT Miriam is finally daytime potty trained.  Praise the Lord!!! WOOOHOOO!!

Poor Evan.  He learned his first lesson about female behavior today.

Brian has a job interview today.  If he gets this position, we will have benefits again.  Which means we can come off of hold with our adoption agency.... and this adoption MAY happen someday.
