Shane has 6 brothers and sisters. One of his little brothers is one that they adopted from Ukraine in January 2010. This morning when Toma came downstairs his right arm was severely swollen from the elbow up. His mother brought him to the doctor who said it was a bug bite and gave poor Toma antibiotic injections that left him unable to walk for several hours. And to make it all just a little worse, Toma is autistic and non verbal so he couldn't tell us how his arm felt or anything. Poor little boy ):
Today we also tried veal. It was pre-seasoned and tasted exactly like taco meat! Which since neither Shane or I are big Mexican food fans, we had a slightly hard time with the spice. Veal, for anyone who doesn't know, is calf meat. Over the last few weeks we decided to try lots of new things. We've had lamb, liver and onions, and different types of fish.
| Here's a picture of the veal that we ate. It was accompanied with apples and plums for an appetizer, onions cooked in butter as a side and peaches and cream for desert! |
Today I also had to work. Selling shoes isn't really a difficult job but because I just became a manager I'm still learning a few things. But aren't our shoes cute? These yellow shoes below are my new favorites! I also have a pair in black.
Alright and because I figured that I should post a picture of myself to put a face with the name/ words, here is a quick little snap shot I took using my fancy dancy camera that Shane bought for me (: I edited the pictures in Picasa.
