1)We are the proud owners of a brand new water heater. Saturday morning we woke up to discover we had no hot water. Uggg.... Our water heater was BUSTED. Hubby wanted to invest in one of those snazzy (albeit pricey) tankless water heaters, unfortunately the venting in our basement would have had to be altered, so we had to get a tank. I told Hubby that it was no big deal; basically its the difference between a Toyota and a Lexus. He insists that a traditional water heater and a tankless water heater is the difference between a 1974 Chevy Nova and a Lexus. Whatever. We've got hot water. I'm happy.
2)I have now plunged head long into the crunchy side. I know this because I purchased Stevia when I went to Vitamin Cottage. If you don't know what Stevia is, fear not, you are in no danger of becoming a true hippy. For the curious, Stevia is an herbal supplement that can be used in place of sugar. It is 30 times sweeter than sugar, calorie free, it has no effect on blood sugar, and is actually good for you.
3)Hubby has had a smart phone for over a year. But now he has a new one. This one is a BlackBerry, I mean CrackBerry. He's addicted. I'm hoping he'll come off the initial buzz sometime in the next week or so and we'll make eye contact.
4)Bub got new pictures of his bones (what are commonly known as x-rays). They don't show any deterioration of the bone in his hip. The doctor thinks he still has Perthes, but it is looking like he's got a very mild case, and the prognosis is very good.
5) Bub also got a whopping huge case of eczema after I fed him gluten for 4 days in a row. Crud! Now I'm thinking that 3 out of 4 of my kids will be gluten free. I'll test it again sometime, but seriously, my kids will never get to experience Chucky Cheese Pizza.
6) Baby's social worker will motion for Termination of Parental Rights on the 13th of this month. Recent case developments make it very likely that this will not be appealed. Before we can officially adopt Baby there has to be a termination hearing and we will have to be assigned an adoption worker. Adoption proceeding can take about 3 months. It's possible we'll have baby adopted by spring and very likely she'll be adopted by summer.
7)Homeschool starts tomorrow. It's gonna be rough. My kids are getting pretty used to doing nothing...and I'm not at all certain that they haven't forgotten everything they've learned up to this point.
8) E is taking rock climbing classes at the health club. This is a big deal because E is afraid of heights. He's demonstrated real courage by continuing to work hard even though it makes him nervous. I'm so proud of him.
9) M is starting art classes this week. She is so excited;she loves art. She got me to color with her today. I colored my Littlest Pet's poodle black. M is apparently not a "fan" of black poodles. Tough. It's my #@!**#@ poodle; I can color it whatever color I #@!**! well want. Okay - I didn't tell her that, but that is what I was thinking. Is that uncharitable?
10) Hebrews 12:11 is becoming my theme verse for 2008. That's the passage that says, "no discipline seems pleasant at the time, but produces fruit of righteousness..." I'd rather have it be something like, "For God so love the world..." That seems easier. Nicer. Less hard. If I were placing orders, I'd ask for a nice happy verse with a side order of fries. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, God intends for me to grow up.

I hope school went better than expected for you today. We started back, and I was amazed at what my M hadn't forgotten over our break! And thank God that Bub's x-rays look good! Oh, and now that I know stevia is actually available to buy, I may have to join you on the "crunchy side" of life.
