They say (and you know they’re always right) that laughter is the best medicine. Actually, King Solomon wrote that “A cheerful heart is good medicine…” in his collection of Proverbs (17:22). Tonight after supper Josie applied a little healing salve to our hurting hearts.
(thanks, by the way, to all of you who dropped us a note. We had no idea there were that many of you dog-lovers out there.)
She’s been living with us since the end of October, and has gotten to know our ways and mannerisms pretty well. She stoof up from the table and proceeded to give us her impressions of each member of the family, complete with hand motions and appropriate eye-rolls. She was a little weak on Sadie and Levi, but she totally nailed Kim, Annabelle, and Lilly. Oh my goodness! You should absolutely ask her to show you sometime.
I wasn’t sure about her rendering of me. She latched on to the time that I got so frustrated with her (doing goofy math homework) that I jumped up and down, spinning, begging her to understand what I was trying to teach. Maybe I need to re-examine my method of instruction!
We all thought it was a little odd that she chose to say the same phrase for each on of her impersonations: Josie! Be quiet! You’re too loud…
I’ve got some hilarious children…
Another bit of adoption news: Annabelle has been with us for almost a year, and last Sunday we had a visit with our Home Study agency to close the books on Annabelle’s adoption. We don’t have to submit any more paperwork or go through any more interviews. Woohoo! Now if we can just finalize Josie’s adoption…soon.
