Well, this week Penny went back to work and Jay kinda went back to work. The reason I say "kinda" is because the so-called "full-time" job that he applied and interviewed for turned out to be only part-time. It was a clerical mistake on the part of the school administration when they posted the job on the internet. So, when he accepted the job and went in to fill out the paperwork he discovered that the position he was saying "yes" to was actually rather part-time. But, nonetheless, he decided to go ahead with it. Now he keeps trying to find another part-time job to supplement. We appreciate any continued prayers for God's provision, as I don't think my part-time job at a preschool will be enough to be the main bread winner.
Penny went back to school on Tuesday. She was donning her lovely "Hello Kitty" backpack she got with her gift card from her cousin, Linnea, for her birthday. Speaking of which, cousin Linnea, who is EXACTLY 10 years older than Penny had her first baby on August 3rd, a little boy, named Sean. I think Penny is really glad to be back in school. But, she's disappointed to discover that she doesn't have some of her favorite teachers this year. Can you believe that this will be her last year in Middle School? Is it possible that she will really be going to high school next year? Time flies! Soon it will be four years since we started the process of trying to adopt her. And now it's only about five years until she will graduate from high school. Cherish each moment while you have it!

I'll be praying that your husband is able to find something to supplement his part time work. Your daughter looks so grown up. And, you are so right...we have them for so short a period of time (some of us, like you, shorter than others). You have to savor every moment.
Have a great school year! High school next year? UGH! That just sounds so "grown up!"
