I think it's safe to say...
that Kyle has a job!!! This is his second week, and I'm convinced it is real. It is what he was looking for, and it is close, so we do not have to move. Thank you for all your prayers and referrals and encouragement. It was a long time, but the Lord truly blessed us and took care of us.

Things that Happened Last Week
(in no particular order)
1. Joshua had his 7th birthday.
2. Joshua crashed into a neighbor on his bike. After he started asking the same questions repeatedly and not remembering what had happened, we were worried and took him to the ER. He had a concussion but checked out all right. We learned that helmets really are important. (Yes, he was wearing one.)
3. The dishwasher, which has been extremely noisy for several weeks, completely quit. It is time for our children to learn how to wash dishes by hand. Today I realized that they really don't know how, so this is a good opportunity.
4. We enjoyed General Conference. We now have a family tradition to set out snacks, each one with a list of words. When one of the words is said, everyone can have a snack. Of course, this only works when watching at home.
5. Kyle had several phone interviews. He has more interviews scheduled this week, some will be face-to-face.
6. Kyle and I got a babysitter and went on a date to a dollar theater. We enjoyed ourselves, and the children were happy, too.
7. Lydia started eating solids - baby oatmeal. She is almost sitting by herself.
8. Paul and Lydia both had doctor check-ups. Lydia weighs more than most her age. Paul weighs less than most his age. Paul was excited to report to Kyle that he got 4 shots; Lydia only got 2.
9. Paul finally graduated out of a car seat into a booster seat. He is older than any of the others were, but he just now met the height and weight requirements.
10. The evenings have cooled, and it is getting dark earlier, so the children have begun their fall games of playing in the back yard in the dark between dinner and bedtime.
