I am so sorry I have not really had time to post as of late. Just reading the boards makes me feel like I am running behind.
Our life is crazy right now. There have been weddings, births, road trips to MO, and to the Michigan/Indiana border, getting ready for school to start, and lastly we were downsized.
DP job was cut the other morning. By the end of the day he had the van packed and the kids loaded up and when I got home he told me about it. He took off to MO to work there until the snow flies because he can make 1/2 a years wages between now and then.
The kids are fine and growing ect. Olivia is starting to venture out on her own a bit. At our friends wedding last weekend she actually played for hours witht the pack of kids.
Otter went back to the shelter, there was much drama and silent treatment over this but honestly the household stress level is back to normal and Ree is back to being a very happy dog.
We had hoped that the adoption would have happened by now but it hasn't so Joe has to go back to school this year. This is not going to be easy for him, he does not want to do this. He has a really hard time just sitting for hours on end, no DX of add ect, he is just a normal 8 yo boy.
but he will be in the 4th grade and hopefully that will be challenging enough for him. He did summer school this year and We have worked on Math and reading and history esp Michigan History. Joe just loves to learn.
I just don't know when Life will slow down enough for more then these lists.
