random

i was going to sit down and write a post about something tonight.
then judah started throwing up.
so now i am in the hall with my laptop while he rests on the floor with a pillow.
until he needs to "fro up" again, as he says. poor little guy.
my husband is going to stay home with him tomorrow so i can teach my last day of preschool before thanksgiving break.
hopefully this bug will not pass around our entire family...ugh.

i just got an email about a new holiday coffee from Just Love Coffee.
it's called Fa La La La La Holiday Blend.
i thought that was cute.
here is a picture. check out our coffee website to order some. ----->


and now you'll be subjected to random thoughts and things going on right now.

i had coffee with two new ethiopia adoption friends last night.
one just started the process and one brought her daughter home in january.
we had a great time and i learned so much from both of them.
it's great to have friends who know exactly how all of this feels.
i sure am enjoying a lot of new friends lately.

tomorrow night i am going out to celebrate one of my best friend's turning 30.
on sunday night, we're going to a "root beer social" for ethiopia adoptive families through our agency.

elijah is going to have to have an occupational therapist help him with his handwriting.
he is left-handed and is having some trouble holding his pencil correctly.
of course no one in our family being left-handed makes it hard for us to help him.
he is so smart and works so hard in school.

i think we have the baby's name narrowed down to 4 or 5.
sorry, we're not announcing them and won't pick one until after we've seen her picture.
we'll tell you what her name is then...oh the suspense. :-)
our plan is to keep her african name as her middle name.
can't wait to know who she is...waiting is hard.

i REALLY need to sell this beautiful antique table and chairs that were donated to our garage sale. they are sitting on my front porch under a tarp. anyone interested? i've had it on craig's list for a couple of weeks now and only one person has emailed. it has two leaves that aren't pictured.


jason and i have been thinking a lot about what ministry God would have us to do right here where we are living. we would love it if you would join us in praying for direction.

well, that's all i've got.
told you this was random.

Hey,
I can't believe Judah is throwing up!!! Annalee just had diarrea (sp) and it was way worse on her than her throw up. Call me if you need anything. As far as the table goes, I've been looking for some wooden chairs for my dining room. I don't really need the table, but I might could find a home for it. What are you asking?

Praying Judah feels better soon- and that God gives you direction!

Elijah has a left handed uncle who said he can try to help. :)

Random posts are the best. You find out more about what's going on in a person's life I think. I can't WAIT to hear the name you choose! (and of course, to see beautiful girl's little face!) Love you!
