Big changes
After three days at me staying home at least part of the time, I got back to a regular schedule today and Laura took over the new normal schedule of getting the kids out the door including driving Enoch to school. At work there were big changes too as first thing in the morning I…

Working Laura
This isn’t the first time I’ve thought this – in fact I’ve probably work if before, but Laura would benefit from having a job. At present her value to the family is limited to whatever degree she keeps me from having to find and pay a nanny to watch the kids while I’m at work.…

Enoch is home
Everything broke down tonight as we talked with David and Becca. What we had done to try complying with the requirements they set out wasn’t good enough and so they said that Enoch would stay with us until we were fully in compliance. After we had felt like we were coming to consensus it just…

Shifting views on bringing Enoch home
Over the course of this weekend we have seen Enoch attack Ezra multiple times (3 times Friday and once Saturday). It got to the point that we considered sending Enoch back to the Warden’s on Friday night but we choose to keep him with us. Obviously we got more vigilant in monitoring Enoch around Ezra…

A day together
For the first time in a very long time we had the whole family together. We were celebrating Mariah’s birthday and Enoch was with us plus I had talked to Lily about visiting Ezra sometime so we arranged to bring him with us. He didn’t get to stay overnight but he went with the rest…

Shooting straight
Laura is frustrated with me right now because of many perceived mistakes etc which she can’t leave behind. She says she wants an apology but truthfully no apology will ease her mind much. The truth is she needs to learn to cast her burden at the feet of the Lord and be healed. Looking forward…

Soccer season
I spent all day running between soccer games from 9am until 5pm. Of course there were extra hours because I picked up Enoch from Lehi and dropped him off again in that time. After all the games I went to hang out with Jared. We played games, did an escape room, and talked. I didn’t…

Case closed … again
The good news for today is that our DCFS case is again closed. Becca mentioned in an email that Enoch had been interviewed by phone and she had taken notes. Soon after I read that I got a call from Adelyn asking for contact information for Mom. She said that the boys had only talked…
