Well, it's confirmed and Adam was offered a job with the DC firm Cooley, Godward and Kronish. We are so excited. I'm especially excited because it means that I get to have him around for the summer. :) For the first time, basically in the 4 years of our marriage, I am guaranteed to be able to see him at the end of the day and have him on the weekends. We get to go swimming and have picnics... we're planning on going camping and going to movies in the park. I can't wait. Granted, I have to keep reminding myself that we will have a brand new baby and a three year old, and I am still working until 7 every night, but it will be fun. I might actually get to see some of the DC area other than my commute and the park up the street. :)
The opportunity he's been given with this job is also very rare for a first year, so we've really been counting our blessings. It just occurs to me over and over how much the Lord has blessed us and watches out for us. He really does know what we need before we even ask. We never thought something like the this would be possible, and He's made it possible. I think I'll start doubling my fast offerings. :)
Other than that things are good. Abby has been sick this week, which is always very sad for us as parents, but she's been feeling a lot better today. She said two very cute things tonight. We were all in the car on the way back from grocery shopping and she was pretending to fish with her shoe laces. She kept telling us that she was getting whales and would say, "Whoa, this is a big one!" Then she says, "Yea, I just caught a halibut!" Adam and I were speechless. Where in the world did she learn the word "halibut"? They really are sponges. Then after we got home she was eating a Popsicle in the kitchen while I was doing the dishes. She said, "Thanks for the polysicle, Mommy." I said, "You're welcome. Can you say POPsicle?" She says back, "Yeah, can you say polysicle?" I said, "No. POP-sicle" She says, "POLY-sicle." And on and on it went. Apparently she's tired of me telling her how to pronounce things and wants it done her way. She's definitely independent. I'm curious to see if her brother will take after her.
Have a great week, everyone.

Congratulations Adam!! That is fantastic!! I'm so excited for you! And how adorable is Abby?! So funny. Oh and Cassie I would love to come to her birthday party, just let me know when :)
Congrats on the job. Is this like a semi permanent job? I mean are you going to be out there for a few more years, or is this just a short term job? He is still in school, isn't he? I can't wait for summer either, but I haven't started making plans yet.
