I don't know why I have felt so stressed lately, my life is always hectic, so I'm not sure what is different now. Tomorrow, is Simon's adoption day! It is finally here and we are so excited. We were planning out our week last Sunday and told Daniel he wouldn't be going to school on Thursday until later so that we could adopt Simon and he got a scared look on his face and said "NO! We can't give away Simon, he's my brother" Needless to say, he didn't understand adoption is just the opposite. He was quite relieved to learn adoption is a good thing.

Eric is still home. His doctor won't let him go back to work for at least another 2 weeks and not until he sees him again and clears him for work. His next appointment is on the 29th. No money, no insurance, no work, - just a vicious cycle. He's getting bored staying at home as far as he's concerned, he'd love to get back to work.

Simon has cut his second tooth and love to use them. Trying to feed him has become a real chore. He thinks he should feed himself and then bites the spoon everytime it gets into his mouth.

Grapes are on, but I have had no time to pick them yet. I just means they'll be sweeter by the time I get to them next week.
