Somehow, it wouldn't surprise me if Jonathan doesn't keep this job long term... not exactly sure why i feel that way. He's still doing a shift at the farm ~ milking ~ about once every week or two, and looks forward to it every time. He is committed to staying at his new job long enough to give it a fair shot ~ so when he gets to helping install the rotary parlour and robotic milkers he might feel more like he's gettin into it. Really, there is a lot to learn and that could be an overwhelming feeling.


Maybe it's all just part of the adjusting... but i think i'm almost a bit reluctant to "adjust" only to have the routine changed again before long.



I've got my older sister's boys over today ~ finally got the little guy down for a nap, so we have a little break from running after him. He's an opportunity for God to teach us a lot! (mainly patience, but probably a lot of other things too ~ including "child-proofing skills?" lol).



My other little girl only came Monday. Both she and her mom ended up sick, so pray they are feeling better soon! And i'm still waiting to hear from the other family when they need me to start.

On Thursday i brought the rest of our paperwork to our adoption worker. With the exception of a few required signatures, our dossier is complete. It feels good to have that part done... but the wait ahead feels like a long time. I guess if i keep it in perspective, it's been almost a year since we first began to seriously consider adoption, and that year has gone by very quickly. And it's not like i don't have things keeping me busy.

I'm looking forward to doing the testing again for our homeschool year end ~ even though we're a few months away from that yet. Janique didn't enjoy it much last year, so i wasn't sure if we'd make her do it again this year, but i think we'll have her try again. We'll look at last year like a "learning" experience, and this year should be a bit easier.

Anyway, should see if there's anything else i need to get done while the little guy is sleeping...
