| | This past month has been very busy. I think the trip east was great but getting home from that and Si being gone another week was a bit crazy. Although I think I got more accomplished that week than I would have had he been home. It seems like since he got back he have been going full speed. I am not sure what we have been doing but it has been crazy. Then this week arrived, I was exhausted starting the week and it has been a bit crazy. But in all the craziness it has been good. The dog ran away but Si found her and she was back that night. (I still can't understand why she ran away she hates the cold and I thought she was safe out with the kids while I ran in to get the stuff for the compost. Guess even for a few minutes she shouldn't be alone with the kids.) Now I know where she gets out of the fence. The tracks in the snow were a great help So, while it was annoying that she got out now I know what places I need to finish plugging. That same night Adia hurt her leg sledding and Si had to take her to the emergency room. Turns out ot was just a sprain but now we know the system for the emergency room, so that is helpful. Plus, let's face it in the busyness of the last few weeks she hasn't gotten much attention that night was all great for her.
Then last night the woodgrain sides van died Thankfully it was close to home and Si was able to bring the groceries he had just bought home and was also able to meet some of the people in the neighborhood so that was good. Si talked to a friends brother who works at a car dealership today and next week plans to go look at a van. It might be a blessing. We really would like to get involved in foster care but don't have any spare seats in the van for a child so hopefully in this we will be able to get a van with a little more room and that I can feel a little more comfortable driving. Pray it works out for us. There is a lot of little details we have to figure out. We also see how great of a community we have here in Omaha, several people have offered to let us borrow their cars so that has been an amazing thing to have so many people looking out for us all.
In the craziness of life Adia lost her second tooth. She was so excited about it all as she put in in the tooth fairy pillow. That night we had a crazy snowstorm, but Si and I were both so tired that we fell asleep forgetting about the fairy's visit. The next morning a crest falled Adia came out of her room but quick thinking Si said that the fairy probally couldn't fly in the snow So thankfully last night it wasn't snowing and she came. She even sprinkled extra fairy dust on Adia and the dog just to make up for not coming the night before. So now there is glitter in every crevis of the room The dog glows because she sleeps with Adia as well.
This week the older kids went to the pediatrician and it went great. Jedi got a referal to the autism center here in Omaha so that is great. We have to take him to be evaluated then they will help us to get him into the services that he needs. Huge sigh of relief on that.
So really while it seems like life has been crazy I see good in all of it. I see a light at the end of the tunnel and see how God has been with us in all of this. I even see time coming up for me to get a much needed haircut and last night as I was enjoying some much cherished quiet time I found a picture of how I want it cut so this is all good. Tomorrow after church I plan to finish up some Christmas shopping and then can just sit at home with no feeling like I should be out doing something since we won't have the van I am excited to see how this all works out.
