Not much going on with the adoption right now, just waiting for our agency to announce they have a new list of waiting children. We pray that it comes sooner than expected! They’ve just about finished their existing list, and have placed almost all the children. Unfortunately, there are always those children who aren’t placed through our agency. Their files are then sent on to other adoption agencies where they have another chance at finding their forever homes.

In the meantime, we’re busy with school and all the kids activities. We’ve had tons of rain lately, which has opened up a leak in our guest bathroom and caused the gutter over our garage to sag just short of falling off completely. Randy was especially excited to come home from his out of town trip to all THAT.

Oh, and the dog tried to “off himself” yesterday. Well, actually, he decided to peruse the “things to take to China” bin that I keep in Lainey’s room. I buy things for our trip, a little at a time, so we’re not scrambling to get it all at one time. There was a bottle of baby Motrin drops in the bin and Jack thought that would make a splendid after dinner snack. Thankfully, one of our very best friends here is a pharmacist and he was able to tell me that Jack drank the equivalent to 3 adult Motrin, so he’s fine. Guess I’ll be keeping the lid on that bin from now on.

Tomorrow is Friday! We have 2 baseball games this weekend, plus the usual around-the-house jobs and…Randy’s favorite…errands. Happy, happy, joy, joy! ***update, 10-5…the weather forecast is rain, rain, and more rain. So, not sure about these scheduled ballgames OR my bathroom ceiling. :(
