Natalie Divyne

I am going to start from the beginning. Our first day of Divyne's termination hearing was October 16. Many testimonies were given but due to the amount of people testifying we were in recess until October 30. So today is October 30. Divyne's case worker said that it wouldn't make a difference if we were there or not so we chose to stay home with the kids and wait for the verdict. So according to the case worker court went well. Now we wait. The judge will look over his notes and evidence and make a decision with in a week or two. We have a prayer in our heart that the judge will allow this little girl to have some permanency in her life and allow to her to stay with us forever.

Riley is going to school

I am so excited. We enrolled Riley into Head Start the end of September. He loves being around Natalie & Corbin but at the same time he never gets the opportunity to be around older kids and when he does he becomes really shy and is almost scared of them. So I really wanted him to be around kids his own age or older. So when I enrolled him they told us where he was an early three year old it would be a long wait especially where they take four year old first. So I get a call today asking if we were still interested in enrolling Riley into Head Start and of course I told them absolutely.

So we went to Riley's school to fill out some paperwork and just look around and get introduced to the school and some of the staff. He will learn how to brush his teeth, learn how to look both ways when crossing the street, scooping, etc. I am so excited for him. It will do him so good and I really think it will help him learn to communicate better. Riley is excited that he gets to go to school.

So what now??.......

So over the weekend, well Friday to be exact, I was on my way to a doctors appointment for the kids when I was appalled at how much traffic there was out for as cold as it was and the tourist season was over. So I went to get on the freeway and just looking around again at all the traffic for a split second, looked back and to my surprise it was too late and I rammed a small Toyota Tacoma pickup. His car, to me anyway, didn't look as though it sustained any damage. MINE HOWEVER sustained quite a bit. The airbags even diploid. So now we wait to see what the adjuster will say, whether they will fix it or total it. I hate these waiting games.

Looking in from the passenger side.

Update on Riley

WOW! I have slacked on the blogging big time. I am sorry.

So here is the latest in my family.

We just had a permanency hearing for Riley. Just to keep the required privacy for the child I will just say that Riley will be with us for the next little while. We are about to go through the same process that we are going through with Natalie right now.

Now as far as Natalie goes, we have her trial coming up on October 16. We find out if we get to adopt her and hopefully when.
