stuff

I miss the kids. still. the old kids are waiting anxiously for the new kids. there is still a ton of stuff needing to be done. am I doing it? no. Bunks need to be finished for the girls(although we did get the beds made with sheets and comforters, just need a ladder and tighten up all the bolts.) bunks need to be put up for the boys. bunks need to be bought for the remaining boys. (and put up) pillows! I need pillows! I need dressers too. and a really large pot for making laundry soap. We need a bigger van that fits us all.(likely wont happen for awhile) I need tickets to return. I thought I had it all set but its on a monday and I didnt even think about how I would get to the airport. so now I have to wait to finalise those plans until I find out what flight we can get on SUNDAY. if its a ton more money I will have to make other plans to get to the airport. Maybe my dad can drive us. Or Uncle Bob. Or my bro. or SOMEONE. I WILL get back there one way or another. hope I have enough money to do everything that needs to be done. spending 5 weeks there really depleted our savings!

I am a little nervous about Andre the runner. But thats why I am bringing Cody. an extra pair of hands. Everyone says outside of his comfort zone(orphanage) he will be different and I will be all he knows and he will stick close. but I dont know about that with this one. he has a fascination with cars and will walk right up to a car and get in. any car. So he is going to be a challenge I think. The girls I dont worry about at all and Jaeger is old enough to understand and he seems to take redirection well.

  1. Do you go from the Twin Cities? You are welcome to come stay here on a Sunday night and we will drive you on a Monday a.m......Does that help?

  2. I was just wondering to myself when you'd be going back to get the kids. :-) Almost sent you a message on facebook to ask, but then I saw this post. But it still doesn't have dates... So maybe I will ask after all. lol

  4. I was looking at an ad for Houston Ford in Pine River and they have a 12-passenger van for like $5000 I think. We considered it, but with 4 kids (at home), we don't really need one that big, but thought of you!

  6. cheryl thanks for the tip! we saw a 15 on the side of the road on the way to mora but it had shelves built in and a missing seat. no money right now anyways, have to spend it all on going over there to get the kids home. but I suppose we could finance it. Will look it up.
