Usually I re-read books that I already have, since new books cost money and our library here has nothing that I'm interested in reading. However, now and then I get a gift certificate for Amazon and I get to purchase something off my ever-expanding wish list. I got this new book today,The Rise and Fall of a Regency Dandy, and started reading it. It's fascinating, though it would probably only be of interest to historians and literature people. I was also sent the manuscript of someone else's book that they want me to do some editing on, so I'm kinda spoiled for reading material. How fun!

I should, perhaps, mention that I do borrow a lot of Christian books from our co-workers, who get new Christian books sent to them all the time by various relatives, friends, and supporters in the States. That's really nice to have that resource.

I know I haven't posted much recently...the adoption is still at the same point that it was before (still waiting for the birth certificate), and everything going along as usual. I was blessed today by Eoin's trying to share the gospel with one of the neighbour children. I don't think she understood, and he said to me later, "Next time, should I just start at Genesis?"

No funny quotes from the kids (other than the cute one above), but I thought I'd share some funny comments we've gotten about our kids over the years:

1. "Are you going to tell them that they're adopted?"

(Somehow I think they'd figure it out eventually, don't you?)

2. "Are they twins?"

(Asked about both Aidan and Eoin and Eoin and Molly!!)

3. "Are you going to teach them to speak English?"

(No, we're only going to communicate with them in Khmer, Zulu, and Ewe.)
