Stephen’s interview last Friday went well, by the way. They told him they’d be finishing up the interviews within a week and then good candidates would be scheduled to interview with an external hiring company. If this interview was successful, the candidate would be brought back in to the original office for a 3rd and final interview.

Later that same day, they called to schedule him for the 2nd interview on Monday (yesterday). He apparently did well in this, according to the interviewer. We’re now waiting to hear back from the company to schedule a final interview. We’re pretty optimistic about this position. It sounds like a good fit for him. I’ll fill you in more on it later if things progress.

On another note, I got a call yesterday from a woman I’d spoken to previously who offers day care in her home. She lives just around the corner from us and sounds like she has a nice set up for children. But when I spoke to her twice previously, she was full. She called today to say she had a spot open up for Alicia’s age bracket if we were still looking. We’ll be visiting her home this Friday evening. Another yay!

Well, by the time I post this, the kids will be Back In School! Yay! We went out for our traditional annual back-to-school dinner last night. Every year we go out to eat the night before school starts as a special treat. I’ve been doing this since Tess entered kindergarten. And here she is… all grown up… heading off to high school! In honor of such a monumental event in her educational career, we went some place EXTRA special. Any guesses?
