Oh--I completely forgot to share about dh's homecoming!  I didn't sleep well knowing he was driving and tired so sometimes when I woke I'd call--other times I would pray.  Around 4 am, I called him and figured I would be awake from there on, but at 5:40 I woke suddenly.  I could hear voices --thought it was janitors or something arriving at the school down the street.  Then I realized I had figured dh to arrive home by 5:30!  I jumped up and hurried to the door only to be disappointed--no car.  But as I stood there--hmmmm...  are those lights I see?  I am convinced all this is providential--that God woke me in time to meet hubby at the door!  What a wonderful daybreak that was--most daybreaks I am not so happy to witness!

Crunch time on the job front--please pray he can find something soon.  There is a guy who wants to hire him, but the job is just setting up so in the meantime....

Baby is having trouble with #6 tooth.  Strange how some bother her and others don't.  She is now insistent on eating with us.  I got the grinder out last night and she ate some soup with us.  I've learned over the years to wait until baby shows true interest--otherwise it just frustrates everyone!  I do not buy baby food needless to say.  I bought the grinder at a health food store when #4 was a baby and it has more than paid for itself (around $12.)

Zeke will be 12 on Sunday.  Episode 3 is all we hear about these days--dh, Zeke, and Elijah will catch a matinee maybe on Friday.  I will try to make home made pizza for dinner.  That'll be the birthday bash. 

Ethan woke with strange spots--a cross between bug bites and chicken pox <update: a mild case of chicken pox>.  They are fading already and he is otherwise his energetic little self so not worried.  Zeke mentioned maybe a reaction to dairy since we had ice cream last night?  I'm thinking he's right.  Pretty smart, huh?

Eran Grant (he's almost 4) seems to be having the worst time adjusting.  He asked the other day if we could go home.  We weren't sure where he meant.  Bar Harbor?  Greene?  Any ideas to help him feel at home?
