Craving CornNuts

I’ve rediscovered a childhood snack: CornNuts. On an mild mannered grocery trip, I walked by the bulk food section and noticed a display of regular, bbq and cajun CornNuts. Hmm, I wondered, why not try them. I remember liking them as a kid. So I got some of each. My taste test proved regular are my favorite, followed closely by bbq. Emily liked bbq the best. And now we’re hooked. Curse you corn nuts!

Our newest addition! Roomba!

Jeff bought a Roomba and like the microwave oven and tv remote, we don’t know how we managed this long without one. The entire first floor of our new home is not carpeted. And the Swifer requires that you not be laying on the couch for it to work. But not Roomba! He cleans up to four rooms freeing Jeff and me to do other stuff. Like the all-important laying on the couch. We love Roomba!

Adoption Parenting Class and Q&A

We just finished a month of parent training. We took the class Love and Logic Parenting hosted by our adoption agency. We learned amazing information that will help us be better parents. Here is the website, in case you want to know more: loveandlogic.com

We also finished the exhausting 121 questionnaire, which is part of the adoption application process. What a relief to get that finished.
