First up, a Silly Segment with Isaac, as part of our Summer of Kids. There's time for a few news headlines with Chris the Wild Moose, in our Dumb News segment.

Main Topic

Where has Nathan Caldwell been all Summer? You're about to find out about his own Summer of Kids. Keith interviews him about his recent experience with adopting 2 boys. There's an added bonus for listeners, when he is joined by his wife, Susan, to bring a perspective from being a new mom into the mix.

Listen, enjoy, and hear what they had to say in response to these questions.

* What has been the biggest adjustment so far in having kids live with you?

* Is that particular adjustment the one that you thought would be the biggest change? Or a different one?

* There is usually something of a honeymoon time when family changes are made. Being on best behavior, etc. Has that time passed for you yet with the kids?

If so, what clued you in the honeymoon was over?

If not, how do you think you will be able to tell when the honeymoon is over?

* What are some of the things your kids say they like about you, or are looking forward to you, and having you as parents?

* Did they have any expectations about you as parents? How have they been met, or not?

* What expectations did you have about the kids? How have they been met, or not?

* What do the kids think about you being a pastor? Did they have any religious background before coming into your home?

* Do they have any chores to do around the house? Do they prefer a particular chore over another?

* Are they expecting an allowance? How much do you think is fair, if anything?
