Got Those Wednesday Random Thoughts, Do Dah, Do Dah (now try and forget the melody!)

Well, we have all recovered from Brian coming home...it seems. Brian had little jet lag coming back from Haifa, or so it seems. He has settled into school after one day of classes and work immediately. This morning he will work in the game room, study hard and read Harry Potter! Yep, business as usual.

Cheryl has joined the local fam. She is into school at UAH and as usual is way beyond her years. Immediately she seems more mature than kids years older. She is a case! She wants to go into journalism. Yep, she picked the right crowd allright!

Maria and the boys (sounds like a rock group from the 70's) have kinda settled in at the Forenghi's. She and Diana and Danesh are looking for a good place to call home (residence) and the battle of wits between Diana and Rosana y Brian has begun (ala Princess Bride) over which school Jeremy should attend: Mtn Gap (booooooooo) or Challenger (yeah!).

Speaking of Maria, she is getting plenty of experience in learning the city by taking Cheryl to school. I make sure I have my cell phone with me at all times so I can give her directions and landmarks so that she can find her way home! hahahahaha Poor little lamb, keeps losing her way.:-(

Brian has surely told you all about his room. We painted it according to previously accepted (multiple) colors and arrangement (lots of trim). Brian has some questions. So, there may be modifications. I'll post a pix of the room shortly.

We finished painting and glorifying the woodwork in the hallway. The woodwork really shines and looks great. Only problem is that with the painting and the intense heat, the doors swelled and now the bathroom door and our bedroom door won't shut all the way...hummm.

I finished the living room front room bookcase arrangement deal. It, I must say, looks fabulous. I am pretty happy how it turned out. It, too, is gleamingly white! It is neat to have built something like a punch-out and bookcase so solid that you (me) can actually climb on it to paint it!

OK....so there is a lot going on indeed. Oh, and Olga (some may not remember her) declared last weekend. She, living in Huntsville, had been attending the Book 1 study circle that Navid was tutoring in Madison. While fulfilling one of the projects from Book 1 to go to a home and have a devotion at the Heiberts, she declared her belief in Baha'u'llah. She becomes the first declaration from the Institute Process in our Cluster. Yahooo. Indeed, it takes a village.:-)

OK...more later.
