Book Two has arrived!  It was overnighted to my house and arrived Friday while I was sewing at a friend&#8217;s house.  When I left home, I thought I would come back around five to pick it up; but we were having so much fun I forgot about it completely.  Then David arrived with a box in his hands and I went wild jumping up and down (while the children stared in shock).  There was no nice, &#8220;Oh, Adam, would you like to help me open this?&#8221; because I just tore into the box.  I&#8217;ve barely slept since.  Do you have any idea how strange it is to see your own life in an honest to goodness book?  <\/p>\n<p>Adam didn&#8217;t say much, probably because he thought I was overkill.  He&#8217;s like a teenager in that already.  But when we got home and I walked into the living room he was looking at it.  I promised to read it to him in bed.  When I was finished, I tried to take the book and he wordlessly clung to it.  &#8220;Adam, it&#8217;s time to go to sleep.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Adam: &#8220;I want to sleep with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t let him; but offered to keep it on the dresser in his room.  The next morning he was downstairs before I was and when I walked into his room to get Liam, I noticed the book had migrated downstairs, too!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/x9c.xanga.com\/0a6f7a4b65d35259096263\/b206296485.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/x9c.xanga.com\/0a6f7a4b65d35259096263\/m206296485.jpg\" style=\" border-width: 0px;\" width=\"580\" alt=\"November 2009_0313\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>You can also order these books directly through  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vision-publishers.com\/index.pl?linkid=home\" rel=\"nofollow\">Vision Publishers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; We are temporarily a three boy family.  Zachary stayed here while his mommy and daddy went to a teacher&#8217;s convention.  Do you have any idea how cute it is to look into a back seat and see three little boys?  It&#8217;s downright adorable.  This is not the first time it happened and whenever it does I think, &#8220;you know, I think we need to have another  little boy.&#8221;  But then clear as day I see my sister walk into church yesterday with two beautiful little girls in white dresses with smocking and pink sweaters with bows and their hair done up adorably. They sat down and out came two cute &#8220;hello kitty&#8221; tablets with those crayon pens that have tiny little crayons inside to change out.&#8221;  And then I&#8217;m just pretty sure we want a little girl sometime.  Hmmm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/x08.xanga.com\/4bff4b4165d32259096270\/b206296492.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/x08.xanga.com\/4bff4b4165d32259096270\/m206296492.jpg\" style=\" border-width: 0px;\" width=\"580\" alt=\"November 2009_0319\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>&#8230; There are two bushels of apples in the basement that need to be made into applesauce.  Christy and I stayed up til midnight doing one for her.  I wish she were still here.  I hate doing stuff like that all by myself.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8230; The turkeys in the frig are gluten-free!  And my &#8220;turns out amazing food&#8221; aunt Frieda sent me a rub recipe she&#8217;s started using that contains none of Liam&#8217;s allergens.  I think I&#8217;ll make one of each.  I&#8217;m feeling much more happy about Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; I think I need another cup of coffee before the boys wake up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;.
