Wordish Wednesday

We took the girls out on Sunday to build a snowman since this last snowfall was perfect snowman snow, if ya know what I mean. The girls were thrilled to be outside no matter how cold it was, which just always makes me laugh. They really couldn't be bothered with rolling around the ball of snow though so they ran thru snow drifts & climbed on their swingset while Chris & I huffed & puffed building a snowman. When it was all said & done though, Jaelyn thought he was the best thing ever. The way she looked at him, I really think she thought he might come to life & start dancing with her. It was too cute! This was one of my favorite pictures I captured. I added the 'snow' effect just because I thought it looked cool.

Things went well in court on Monday. The trial date is set for March 1st so we are just keep our heads up & praying.

I am thankful this week that we are not being crippled by the massive storm coming across the States. We have been "lucky" enough to only get rain thus far, which is fine by me. To those of you getting snow... I hope you are enjoying it & it's not put too much of a damper on your week!

Happy Wednesday!

Back up the big hill we go...

We were in contact with our social worker today. Bio-Mom is now out of jail and has scheduled her drug rehabilition program, which also means visits with Jaelyn & Abbie have been scheduled as well. She roughly estimated they will begin on October 13th.

My guesses as to what happens next: Visits will start. We go back to court on October 19th. Bio-Mom's lawyer will request bonding & pysh evaluations for second opinions and mediation will be brought up to see if it can be rescheduled as well. A court date will be set in the near future to see what progress was made, if any.

I hold my breath every time I receive one of these phone calls. I exhale. Tears sometimes stream down my face. I just want what is best for Jaelyn & Abbie. I grasp everyday with them and realize what a true treasure it is. I often wonder how much of an emotional mess I can be without completely losing it. My faith gets shaken but I still hold on.

Please pray for our family & for me.
