    After days of thinking we had a plan, things came to a halt today as Becca finally talked to David and he raised some legitimate concerns regarding what they could offer. They have no final answer yet but we can’t assume they will be able to do what we had felt would be the most…

    I took today off to be at two meetings for Enoch. Each was scheduled for an hour and each took over 2 hours. At the first meeting we went to Matt’s Place and meet with a counselor named Shirlene. I love the fact that she soon identified that what Enoch needed was to have the…

    I failed to do scripture study yesterday because Laura and I spent all evening – until 2AM – talking about possibilities such as selling the house to pay our debts and moving. The real possibility exists that we could pay the debts and still put 20% down on a house that is big enough for…

    Early morning I saw that the bunnies were out of their pen and asked Isaac to bring them back into the garage. As I left at 8:10 to go to work (from Mom’s house today) I saw a small animal lying in the road. As I got near I realized it was our bunny, Spice.…

    I managed to have a successful day despite everything planned and unplanned that I had to work through. I worked from home to be able to do lunch with Noah and meet with school officials regarding Ezra. That was all fine but we had to throw in Addie getting sick so that she couldn’t come…

    Today amidst all the work of clearing Alyssa’s room and moving the bunny cages outside again to enjoy whatever is left of fall weather (and with Savannah at a ballroom thing in Idaho) we played our last three soccer games if the season. Ezra scored his first goal of the season and Noah played well…

    In church Suzie Driggs, the new primary president, arranged for Enoch and Noah to go to their regular classes while I dealt with a non-compliant Ezra. She also suggested the goal to have those older two back in their regular classes by the end of the year and then I could go as an extra…

    Laura asked if I could come home early to meet with the school counselor and Ezra’s teacher at the end of school – he had had a day. When they asked him to tell us what happened all he said was that he was going to get a donut. Apparently he kept trying to leave…

    I took Mariah, Isaac, Enoch, Noah, and extra to Kohl’s in Layton before 7am for the David School District child spree where they each got $150 of clothes for school plus a new backpack. It too much longer than expected for some of them (especially Isaac) to get out of the store but I was…

    I consider it progress that the boys wanted to stay at church for class and behaved through sacrament meeting to be allowed the privilege. Ezra went home with Laura partway through sharing time but Enoch and Noah stayed until shortly into our class time. When they persisted in being disruptive I took both of them…
