Well, Alina's party was pretty fun. All of her friends seemed to have fun. So much so that almost everyone cried when it was time to go home. I guess that is a sign of a successful 5 year old birthday party! :)

Monday brought a little bit of excitement. We got a phone call from our adoption agency asking if we would like our letter presented to a woman who had just given birth in NC. Unfortunately for us, we didn't live close enough to her to provide the kind of open adoption that she was looking for. We were disappointed, but it was very understandable that she would want someone closer so that she could have some visitation. So we go on patiently waiting for our son or daughter to find us. :)

Dan found out yesterday that he has an interview scheduled next week for the position he's applied for. (Would be a promotion, still at CNN) We're crossing our fingers that all goes well. It will be a while before we hear anything for sure and there will probably be another round of interviews before a decision is made.

Watching Snow White with Alina right now. But it is so beautiful outside that when it is over I will take her outside to get some more practice on her bicycle. Maybe we'll go to the park.
