It's been a LONG time since we've posted, but this will be more like a status update than a year-in-review. Matthew is enjoying school, and Chiara is absolutely champing at the bit to go to school, too, so it's a good thing that she will go to the Early Childhood Development Center at Saint Mary's next school year.

I would like to say I know that I passed - and I guess the chances are probably pretty good - but one has to know that there's always the possibility that you haven't, and the specific Indiana law they tested on was sufficiently weird enough to make me wonder. The good news is, EVERYBODY seemed to think the topics were mysteries to them, too. Even so, the last two months have been excruciating - it was a lot easier waiting for bar results when I was working two or three jobs. But in three days I will know - I can't wait...
