The paper pile gets bigger:-)

We've now doubled the size of signed papers on our dining room table:-)  We chose a homestudy agency, so we completed all of that initial paperwork tonight and I now have a GIANT stack of papers to take to the post office tomorrow!


  • 1 stack for our placement agency-with a check for $2150 for the first half of our agency fee
  • 1 stack for our home study agency-I think we send this $1850 check later, but I'll call in the morning to confirm
  • 1 stack for our co-op board-with a $50 check for the mandatory credit check (I'm actually going to need to have this delivered tomorrow-depending on how my work day unfolds I'll either hand deliver it myself or pay for a messenger service)


We had a clothing swap at our church today and I may or may not have brought home 2 shopping bags of adorable clothes-mostly gender neutral-for ages 12-36 months....they were cute, pretty much new (some still had the original tags on), and free.  I figure it doesn't get better than that:-)

Thanks so much to everyone who wished us Happy Anniversary. We can't believe it's been a year!!! We missed our tour of Kykuit due to INSANE traffic (it took almost 3 hours to get there, including a cab hitting a pedestrian which blocked traffic for quite a while) but we had a wonderful time exploring Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown by car and on foot.  Then we had dinner at Castle on the Hudson. The cheese course was delish!

We accidentally wandered into the Westchester Art Festival and we bought our first piece of art!  Ababa and I both loved this artist's work so we thought it was a great way to commemorate our first anniversary and purchased a piece.  We're going to hang it in the front hall for now, but in the future we'd love to have a tryptic to hang over our living room sofa.

Here's the link to the artist--the birch series is AMAZING:

Our painting is from this series (but the colors in ours are darker, it's smaller and square, and has more aggressive movement:-).  It is framed in a simple birch floating frame and really looks fantastic!
