Mail, My Sweet Boy and Grace

I faxed off my Notice of Assessment to Imagine today, and got an email back to send the original. And I hadn't yet filled out some of the agency paperwork, and so I printed it off and did that too. So then after school, I tried to get away quick to the post office to send it off, and only after the envelope was on the mail truck (which had waited for me to add my letter to the bag), did I realized that I had only sent the paperwork, not the Notice of Assessment! Dang! So I ran right back in and they kept the truck there while I paid for and addressed another express mail package! Well, at least it's done, right?
I was praying with Jonah at bedtime tonight, and we prayed that his little sister would be safe and healthy and growing up strong in her mummy's belly. And after we were done, Jonah asked something about, when she goes back to Ethiopia (after she's been here). I told him, "She's going to stay with us and live with us."
"Oh!" he smiled.
"And she's going to share your room," I added.
"Oh, okay," he said.
And when you get too big for your tricycle and learn to ride a bike with no training wheels, can she have your bike?" I ask.
"Yeah, she can have it."
Good guy.
If you are not already reading up on Grace's trip to Ethiopia (she met her Anna today and posted all about it -- get a tissue and click on the link on the right-hand column). So exciting.

Jonah is indeed a super wee man! What a sweet brother to share his room and bike.
