Last night we finished reading the boy’s case files. Unfortunately, there was nothing that made me want to say “no” and nothing that made Cody want to say “yes”. Which basically means “no” because I know that I have to accept Cody’s feelings. Of course, while my husband doesn’t feel like these kids are right from him, he feels awful for me. Last night as he was apologizing to me, I had a...

This weekend was a little crazy. Friday we enjoyed shopping in the big city at Bass Pro and other stores along the Red River. Sunday, we had a power outage that threatened to stick around awhile We were bound and determined to have hot water. Our journey to find a portable propane hot water heater/shower took us 45 minutes south our home and then the 1.5 hours north of our home to the Bass Pro- again. If I’d only known Friday what...

Last week, Cody finally took some time to talk about his feelings for adoption. He admitted he hasn’t been very open and honest with me. I knew it and I really knew that he was on the fence nearly ready to jump off and call it quits.

Easter Sunday was like many other’s Easter.  We went to church bright and early.  Cody had to help his fellow Elders cook breakfast and Jack got involved flipping pancakes.  We had an Easter Egg Hunt and...

Saturday. . . Well, I don’t have but one picture of the Cody’s hijinx from Saturday and it was only the beginning.  But I do have other pictures from the weekend to share as well.  (Stayed Tuned tomorrow for some hillarious pictures that Cody’s likely to love seeing online. . .not!  That’s the price he pays for being a nut.) Saturday was a busy day for us.  Cody and Jack headed out to the deer lease around 5:00 in the...
