Around and around it goes

Over a month since I've last posted; I've been a little busy!

Three beautiful young souls came to live with us six or so weeks ago. How it happened had to have been an act of God. So, we accept how the path is unfolding and find a way to keep the world spinning.

There have been some absolute highs having an 8 yr old, 4 yr old and 2 yr old around. A trip to Cook Forest was a highlight, with the 3 of them riding ponies that we led through a meadow. Going to the zoo (first time for the two youngest) was a lot of fun and memories were made.

There have been meltdowns as well, by both the young ones and the "mature". Recently both the dryer and the washer quit, on a day when beauracracy and paperwork had already threatened to choke us. *Snap* went my cool, right after a visit from a county caseworker.

Third graders defintely need clean underwear; that 's not optional. Luckily I had done a load right before the washer decided it's quittin' time. How to dry before school starts the next day? L and I decided to put the boxers on a hanger and hang from the ceiling fan in his room. It was one of those warm nights so the ceiling fan went round and round all night long, as did the boxers. Voila! Dry undies for school the next day!
