Top 10

We received word from our agency that we are #7 on the waiting list! We're thinking that means we will receive a referral in the next 2 batches, and usually the batches come once a month. I say usually, but because our agency's program is new, we really don't have a lot to base that on. It's been that way so far, but I'm trying to keep in mind that things could change. Still, it's getting exciting!

Congratulations!

. . . to Brandon and Sunshine who live down the street from us and just received a referral for twin boys, 11 months old. They have been so patient, waiting for a sibling group and finally had resigned themselves to the idea that they would have just one child, and then this happened!

Caution - Preschool ahead

Aidan will be starting his 2nd year of preschool on Tuesday. His teacher requested that the kids practice writing their names neatly with just the first letter capitalized, before school begins. Aidan was practicing yesterday and as he was erasing a letter and talking to me, he somehow jerked the pencil up and stabbed himself in the face, hard. He bled a lot and ended up with a Spiderman band-aid across his cheek but told me quite seriously, "homework can be dangerous, Mommy."
