Someone asked for a general update on all of us. You know who you are. So, I thought I'd do a little update on all of us. If you were a fly on the wall at our house....
Me. I work part-time at an antique store and like my job. I meet lots of interesting people and enjoy and appreciate the people I work with and for. I also am still signed up for volunteering as an abstinence educator but have not taught any classes so far this school year. And, I'm still leading music at our church. I seem to struggle the most with the adoption process. It's probably the whole mothering and nurturing thing that I'm not getting to do with this child. It hurts, bad.
T. He works as a computer tech. We call him the dyslexic computer geek. He also likes his job. He runs the sound board and power point at church as well as serving as a deacon. He is also on the pastor search committee. He has been working on his '66 chevy step side for 2 years now. It's kind of an off and on project that stems around having money and time. We never seem to have enough of those two things. He is the general mechanic and handyman around here too. This is a pic of his current boo boo. Yep. Turned his ankle. He does this on a regular basis but he did a good job on this one. Isn't it pretty?
R is enjoying her first semester at college except for one class. One out of five isn't bad. She works at the same place that I do and she sings with us on the praise team at church. She also plays the keyboard some of the time. I guess the people are used to us switching back and forth now. She is still writing songs and stories when she finds the time and she enjoys her critters too. She wishes she had more time to spend riding her horse.
A is loving her second year of high school. She is in a drama class and they are getting ready to do a play. Are you surprised? She continues to crack us up with her funny humor and we all marvel at her interesting take on life that shows up in her photography. She is generally happy but can occasionally give in to "a mood". She is helping with the costumes for the current play and really likes doing that. She works for her nanny, helping out around the house and yard. That nanny pays her a lot better than I ever got paid for the same kind of work. Hmmm.
J. The last little update I got on J was when I posted that last pic of him. The lady who took the pic said she was visiting her son at the O and she had a terrible headache and J was trying to do tricks to help her feel better. She said he did a cartwheel off the steps just before she took that pic.
The animals are full of themselves right now. Sanome has enjoyed the laundry again today and has been running all over the house. She carries her toys around and plays with them. Misty invited herself to the pastor search team meeting that was held at our house recently. She meowed at everyone and rubbed on their legs. She also took magnets off the refrigerator and played hockey with them. Then she stole the people's chairs if they got up for something. She's a hoot. Dexter has really been into treats lately. He stares at the cabinet where I keep them, willing it to open and give him a treat. The dogs are busy scratching and barking and sleeping in the flower beds. Oh, and bringing dead animals into the yard. We still aren't sure if they are hunters or gatherers. The horses are fine. Lillybet is still at the neighbor's enjoying her new life as a goat.
I think that about covers everyone. Thanks for joining us for that installment of "a fly on the wall."
