Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Jake has been home for a week, and we are loving every minute of it! He is 11 months old now, it has taken us this long to get all of his paperwork done so he could avoid quarantine once he got to Hawaii. It was stressful, but worth it, and it all worked out in the end. Hmmm, sounds a lot like something else that is going on in our lives... No news on the adoption front, so I guess you will be seeing lots of pics of me torturing Jake with costumes like the one above for now!

Guess what??? We have a NUMBER!!!

We are so happy to officially be on our agency's waiting list! Everything that can be done with our paperwork is done now, so the wait begins...

Thanks to Wikipedia, I have some facts about the wonderful number 42-

-42 is one of The Numbers on the television show Lost, along with 4, 8, 15, 16 and 23.

-The eight digits of pi beginning from 242,422 places after the decimal point are 42424242.

-The jersey number of Jackie Robinson, which is the first and only number retired by all Major League Baseball teams.

-The first digit (4) taken to the power of the second digit (2) is equal to the second digit (2) taken to the power of the first digit (4): 42 = 24 = 16.

- The jersey number of Pat Tillman, which was retired on November 13, 2004 by Arizona State University.

- Messier object M42, a magnitude 5.0 diffuse nebula in the constellation Orion, also known as the Orion Nebula. (pictured below, isn't it BEAUTIFUL!?!)
