Robert Rock: the contest
I finally know the truth about Bob Rock. My neighbor Patti gave me the scoop on Friday afternoon. So, we are going to have little guessing contest. Whoever guesses the following questions right (or is closest) wins.
1. Bob's real name
2. Bob's occupation
3. Which town he lives in
4. # of kids he has
First prize will win a batch of Charlie Seltz's famous chocolate chip cookies, made by Chuck himself!
MORE HINTS:
Name is not Mike although it does have 4 letters
Not Hudson, think greener
He has a bright career outlook!
Contest closes at midnight tonight.

I'm sure you are dying know about the big tennis tourney happening ALL weekend! Will Jake's team beat Stuve & Arvez's team? Well, I don't know. I don't really follow the details but we did attend one match Friday night which Jake lost (I like to think of myself as JUST like Rafael Nadal's supermodel girlfriend who never goes to matches because her beauty is too distracting). Then they won a couple yesterday and today have one more but lucky stars, they qualified to go to another tourney in just two weeks.
Instead of sweating our balls off on the tennis court, Norelle & I hung at Papa & Nana's pool yesterday with Casey & MJ. It was nice!
And last night Sabrina babysit while we went out to celebrate our seven year anniversary, a couple days early. I LOVED the restaurant we went to, Il Vesco Vino. They have the most wonderful patio complete with misters that spray water. Plus, there is live jazz. We splurged on a yummy Italian meal but you can go there for a drink & pizza for a budget-friendly good time. It was fun to hang with Jake all alone, he's cool.

Waiting & Hoping
Keep my pal Jodi and her family in your prayers tonight!
Jodi is not only my fitness instructor but she has mentored me through the ups and downs of open adoption as she is an old pro thanks to adopting adorable Jakob 2.5 years ago. They have been waiting 8 months and 3 weeks with LSS on their second baby and just got a call TODAY that baby girl was born YESTERDAY and their family was chosen to take her home TOMORROW! As we all know, a lot could change so pray that the birth parents have peace with decision and Jakob becomes a big brother!

Lab rats
That is us. We are going to be part of a huge national research study known as the Early Growth and Development Study which is a longitudinal study of adoptive families and (separately) birth families to try to answer the age old question of nature vs. nurture. The psychology major in me loves this. We will participate in three videotaped 3-hour long family visits at ages 9, 18 and 30 months to observe measures of personality, problem solving, communication, family interactions etc. We will also be interviewed by phone at ages 6, 12, 22 and 36 months.
In exchange for our time, family secrets and yes even DNA, we will have the satisfaction of contributing to science. I can see it now... it's 2022 and naive marriage & family therapy graduate students in dark classroom watching taped session of Megan & Jake in dated 2008 at attire arguing over best way to teach Nori to crawl, scribbling notes of dysfunctions in our marriage and appropriate interventions...
