Sadly it took me two days to Kitchner the toes! LOL
But they are done!
Done cuff down, 2 at a time, Magic Loop

Yarn: Regia Plus Cotton Color

Remember this list?
Today, at J2’s gymnastics – I noticed little girls.
- They are everywhere.
- Their hair is always in their eyes.
- They touch people when they talk to them.
- They sit still.
- They wear pink and little shorts under dresses.
- They ask questions like “do you like my pretty?â€
- and they look at you while you tell them “Yes, I do like it.â€
Well, that was from the observation of about 4-5 little girls at Gymnastics. It was sort of amazing to me to see how different those girls were from the boys there. The main thing I learned from that observation – this is going to be a WHOLE NEW experience!!

Well, there have been craziness going on in our life and it’s affecting my knitting!
On one hand – the Baby Cable Rib socks for J2 are almost done because it’s wonderfully mindless knitting.
On the other hand – I’ve attempted and frogged a baby dress for Baby Susanna (due 12/15/07 to my boss and her hubby) 3 or 4 times.
Seems I can finish things or do mindless knitting but starting something new is just not working out. Weird what stress does to you! So, I’m going to use this new power for good! (lol) I will finish J2’s socks for the September’s “Sock A Month” KAL. Then I’ll finish my Big Shrug! At the speed I’m able to do mindless knitting – I’m thinking I could be done in a week or so.
Then I can either try Baby Susanna’s dress again – or finish the boxers. If I have to – Baby Susanna’s dress will be modified to a cute hat and booties – but darn I love this dress!! And, this squishy pink yarn…yum!
The one casualty from this potential change to our life? I have NO intention of knitting 20 miniture Christmas stockings for Dh’s coworkers anymore. Maybe next year. However, by next year I could be dealing with a walker – so maybe the year after that! LOL
Lands, what a weird week!!

My friend, Theresa, gave me this award! What a NICE surprise! (tee hee) Not only is it nice to be recognized, but I’m enjoying visiting her other friends!
“This award is for those bloggers who are nice people; good blog friends and those who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also for those who are a positive influence on our blogging world. Once you’ve been awarded please pass it on to 7 others who you feel are deserving of this award.”
I want to give this award to these online friends:
Perri at My Life in Bits & Pieces – a homeschool mom of 6 and 1 great son-in-law and 1.5 grandbabies. She knows how to enjoy life!
Lorri at The Mac & Cheese Chronicles – a mom who lost one, like me. I love getting a glimpse into their family life!
Michelle at Happy Mom 777 – someone I met in real life but only recently found her blog. She’s graduated one of her homeschool kids. The other one comes over sometimes to play LOTRs with my hubby. Neat family!
Barb at So the Thing Is… – She loves, she knits and she makes me laugh! I’ve really enjoyed reading her blog!
Ruth at ScrabbleQueen Knits, Too – a real life friend who I’ve nagged into making a knit blog. Now, I’m nagging her to start a tea blog! 😉
Ashley at Scrap Happens – Ash is part of my weekly knit night and a real blessing! She’s always smiling and I love getting to know her!
Melanie at Melanie’s Journey – my friend from way back when…well, not really that long ago – it just seems like so long ago since we’ve both changed so much recently! Check out here artwork too!
I hope you visit all my friends and let them know how NICE their blogs are!!

I can’t do this!!
Yes, yes, we all know I’m notoriously bad at keeping secrets! But added to that – this is my journal!! This is where I record my random thoughts to help me understand what I’m feeling. This is where I share my fears and my victories…well, sometimes…sometimes it’s just where I whine and talk about yarn…but I TRY to be deeper than that somedays!
So, here’s what’s up! Tuesday at 4:53pm we got a call. Caller ID said “No Name, No Number” which normally means we would let the call go to voice mail. But the house was pretty chaotic at the time – DH and boys just got home, a friend was just leaving – and I answered it. Thank God I did!!
The man asked for me and said he was Charlie/Charles (it was a blur) from OR DHS. (Wait, you all know that our boys are adopted, right? And, that they are all bio-related, right?) It seems that our birth mom (we call her “Tummy Mommy”) had another baby. A girl. In July. There will be a court date in approximately one month to establish a plan (adoption) for the baby. We need to consider, as family, if we want to be considered.
At one point I looked at Eric to give him a “Do-You-Realize-What-This-Call-Is??” Look and he was on his face. I can’t say if he was praying or crying or both. But we were both terrified.
“What ifs” are flying around us constantly. Do they know how old we are? Do they know we don’t have any girls? Do we know anyone who has a crib? WHY did we get rid of everything? Will triple bunks fit in our house? Will we have to move? Will we need bigger vehicles?
and quieter we ask … Do they know Josh died? Will they trust us? Do we trust us? Is this a joke? Can we do this again? Will they say no after we say yes? Will they determine we are not acceptable?

This is going to be a long month while we wait for them to contact us again! PLEASE pray for us!!
