That is Tabitha, my niece. She is 3 months old and loves the Dodgers already. That's what she is watching here, so peacefully and contentedly lying in the crook of Uncle Dave's arm. She stayed like that for nearly an hour! I want to buy her one of these:
And here are the cousins all lovin' on each other. That's Tabby's mother - my sister June. Isn't she pretty?
Ah yes, and pv=nrt. If there is only one thing (and I think there is only one) that I remember from CHEM 1A - it's pv=nrt. You can use it for almost anything! Well, at least that's how this English Lit. major feels :-). So, yesterday morning the kids were experimenting with these ice blocks they made the night before. Since we don't have an ice maker, and pretty much never have ice in the house - they are amazed at it and love licking, cutting, breathing on, holding, sliding, and melting it.
So, here N is cutting it (and thus pv=nrt). You up the pressure, and you up the temperature at that point where you are cutting into it - and so it melts faster. Or something like that. The details are a little fuzzy. Please enlighten and correct me if I am way off here.
And little A showing off his Spiderman costume! He currently is very into Spiderman, constantly asking us questions like, "What is radioactive bwood?" and, "Is Bwack Spadderman a bad guy?"
And look at this guy. This is Nene - we traced around him in order to learn some body parts in Mandarin. Very handsome, don't you think?
In adoption news. . .
We had a bit of of craziness in the morning when I tried to pick up my paperwork from the doctor's office. I had asked the traveling notary to meet us there at 11:30, when I had my appointment to get my health report notarized. Anyway, I got there and realized that I forgot the papers! Ugh. The notary was very nice and agreed to meet us later at 3pm when the doctor was free again to sign and complete the documents. So, we came back at 3pm only to realize that the doctor didn't have her driver's license on her! I had left a message the day before stressing that a valid ID was a necessity for notarization. But she didn't get the memo :-(. Poor notary woman! But thankfully, there is another doctor in the office - my doctor's brother - agreed to sign in her stead. Phew!
We had our first homestudy meeting yesterday! Homestudy is when an assigned social worker meets with you a few times to get to know you as a couple and as individuals, and then as a family (if you have children already), and also to check for safety in your dwelling place. I was a little nervous - but she was very nice and I actually feel like I learned a lot! So our meeting yesterday was just us as a couple. The kids got shuttled to the Kus' - and they had a blast there playing Killer Bunnies, eating hotdogs, and playing Wii.
On the topic of Killer Bunnies - we were gifted a set with expansion sets from some dear friends over the weekend. Matthew, my board game lover, is on cloud 9! Oh, the card of terrible misfortune! A large prune danish! Kabbalah dollas! If you don't know what I am talking about, you haven't played Killer Bunnies :-).
