1. R and I are playing in a volleyball league again this year. We've learned that I'm more talkative and aggressive when I'm not the coach/captain....and one of us had to take an aleve the day after our first game.
2. Early this week my FaceBook newsfeed and news sites that I visit were focused on the VMA's (which I think stands for Video Music Awards) and a dance move....on the same week that Hagel is in the news (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23847839). However a person feels about either news (and I use that term loosely when talking about the VMA's), shouldn't we be discussing one (a lot) more than the other? I read this (http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/28/world/meast/syria-how-did-we-get-here/index.html?hpt=hp_inthenews) to make myself feel more like a high school graduate.
3. Oh yes. We met with our birth mother and birth father last week! She is super friendly and he is very supportive. We got to spend around two hours getting to know each other. R and I were encouraged by the meeting and are looking forward to baby boy's birth.
4. Violin lessons have recommenced! The dogs are not happy about this.
5. I made a pumpkin pie today. I thought it would never set. And part of it is in the bottom of my oven.
6. I attended a mom's group at church this morning and heard a talk on the Proverbs 31 woman. Then I came home....to an air conditioner that was having problems cooling the house, dogs barking at clouds, the Squirms deciding to have an unusually short nap, spilling pie in my oven, and, well, I won't describe the scene when I went in to get my angel out of her crib, let's just say she went straight from the crib to the bath (thankfully the pie didn't burn because I ended up cooking it twice as long as the recipe suggested....it actually took that long to set). Good thing our speaker pointed out that Jesus is what makes a "Proverbs 31" woman, not what I can accomplish in one day.
7. I am having a good hair day though. I made my youngest sister look at my hair during FaceTime tonight. I don't know why she never answers my phone calls.
8. R and I are really enjoying our Life Group at church. Squirms and I even stayed for the informal after-party tonight (this involves all the kids running around the room while the adults attempt conversation). Squirms is learning how to share by making other kids share....that's a nice way to say that she likes to go through other kids' backpacks and take their snacks.
9. My dad and my middle sister both called my cell phone tonight within minutes of each other. Both calls were actually for Squirms.
10. Football games start this week!
