Good thing...

Last night while we were putting Michael to bed, he was asking lots of questions about Jesus and heaven. We talked about Jesus dying on the cross for us. We talked about the fact that he was then placed in a cave (as Michael referred to it) and that He rose from the dead. Michael insisted that angels carried Him from the tomb up to heaven. Who am I to argue with that. Then as we are lying in his bed talking about the angles carrying Jesus to heaven, Michael said "it's a good thing they didnt have ceiling fan". Yes it is a good thing...

No word on the adoption, so we wait. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Terrific Kid

Today is a very exciting day for Michael, well for the whole Coles family really. Michael is getting the "Terrific Kid" award at school today. He found out Monday that he would be getting the award today, and that is all he has been able to think about, all week! Wednesday morning I went to get him up for school and he said "Mom I was thinking about the terrific kid award". I mean...we have known for months that he is a terrific kid, but now he actually gets the award! This morning he told Tod "Dad, I need to look like a Rock Star today". So Tod spiked his hair and he wore a neat shirt.

Then as a bonus, I was leaving for work and Tod said "Honey you look like a rock star's Mom". I'm not really sure what to think about that...

On another topic, we submitted the petition for adoption last month, and we are hoping to have the adoption final soon. Michael has been telling everyone for months that he is going to be adopted ON his birthday (May 3). That is a tall order to fill, since we are at the mercy of the court. But we are hoping it will be finalized near his birthday. So we have started planning a 10th birthday/adoption party for early May. And if you know us, we can't do anything on a small scale. I will fill you in on the details as the date gets closer. Until then have a HAPPY FIRDAY everyone!!!
