10/12/04-Tonight on The Adoption Show
From Bill:
You will notice that we renamed the title on our journal "The Adoption Show". My mom said my niece Sophia (the one who gave me the name Bilbo) came over to her house and asked "has Bilbo's adoption show been on the computer today yet?" So, now you can wait for the teasers for "The Adoption Show". (Tonight, on a very special Adoption Show, Jack learns a very important life lesson…)
Grace felt better today. She had no temp and was in a good mood. In the morning, she sat and hung with MJ. She also crawled around a bit. Jack was all over the place. Of course, he couldn't play with his stuff, but insisted on getting into other people’s things. I tried to stand in the way, block him, move things, etc., but he stubbornly kept going until he got what he wanted. There are plenty of pictures and a new video available on the morning.
It was a beautiful day, so in the afternoon, we took them outside. Of course, this started with them being bundled up as if we were going into a snow storm. Grace was in a fuzzy pink snow suit, while Jack was in a patchwork of different pieces; include a very undignified pink hat. I had Grace in our snuggly, while they gave MJ a stroller for Jack. It had to be the worst stroller in the world. The poor kid was scrunched in it, so we had to take him out of it. Eventually, we settle in the old playground. They have one of those old merry-go-rounds that have been outlawed in most places back home. MJ sat on it and rocked back and forth with Jack. He fell fast asleep. Grace stayed in the snuggly and was fine as long as Dad kept moving. Eventually, we started on show tunes and she was happy, eventually singing along. (MJ said she sounded better. At least, it seemed like she knew the words better than me.) We brought them back in at the end of the day and took them straight to their rooms.
Today’s Pictures – Plenty of new pictures from the morning. Unfortunately, I left the memory stick in the hotel in the afternoon, so no outdoor pictures.
Today’s video – One long video of both kids; they don’t do much, but it will get some people their Jack and Grace fixes for the day.

Hi guys! How about Grace sitting up all by herself? She has made great progress in just a week. You guys are awesome parents! Jack is darling - he could easily be a Thomas (as in my family, not my son), he looks so familiar! Hey, here is a baby tidbit for you that I tried to send Sunday but everything crashed while I tried to publish it. Jack puts everything in his mouth, as you have remarked on several occasions. Babies have very little sense of feeling in their teeny, tiny fingertips, so everything goes into the mouth to try to identify it. It's not that they want to eat it, they just want to "feel" it. Unless, of course, you have a kid like Caitlin, who ate everything, including M&Ms and gum, literally off the street. Jack may end up being one of these kids, in which case you will find lots of surprises in his diapers! Lots of love, Jen (and the rest of the gang, too!)
I told you I was addicted to checking up on you all! See...even my kids are, too! The adoption show...that's hilarous! So, what's the time line on this shindig? You mentioned getting to take the kiddos around the time you'll get the apartment. Details! I need details! LOL When do you get them? When is the adoption? When's MJ coming home and how about the rest of you???? Come on, I know everyone else is thinking these questions. I'm the only one bold enough to ask!
Much love to all four of you. Katho
Glad to read that everything is going well. Sorry to hear about the heat. In case you didn't know MJ wouldn't turn on the heat in the storeroom until November.

Thanks for the fix! I can now go with my day! Hugs and kisses to all!
Love-Mar
