Crunch Time

So I haven't been blogging much lately for several reasons:
1. No new adoption news to share, although we should be getting our five-month waiting list numbers anyday now.
2. I've been trying to stay on top of my work so that I will be ahead when my school starts next week.
3. I've been cooking large casseroles and soups and freezing them so I don't have to cook as much for the next 10 weeks of school. What a dork I am!
4. I've been working on fundraising projects for our adoption! So far we have raised $106 from our coffee store! And it's only been a week! We have such amazing family and friends. I feel so blessed. I have also been working on my first African-style batik quilt. Here are a couple pictures:

Here's the other side:

The photos don't do the fabric justice. It really is quite beautiful in real life. I've also started knitting again! Here's a half of one sock which I intend to keep all for myself:

I've also been spending lots of quality time with my dogs. I'll be spending nights at school, so I won't see them as much for the next couple years.

This photo was taken about 1.5 seconds before they nearly ripped each other's heads off because Chica shifted her weight in a way that upset Max.

Here's a photo of the enchiladas that I made tonight. One batch for dinner, another batch to freeze. Yum!!! I used my mom's recipe. Sooooo delicious. That's all for now! More updates soon.
