Surveillance
The security cameras I ordered arrived today. Not 15 minutes after I set the one up in the garage I caught footage of Ezra and Noah opening both the fridge and the freezer. We have long known that the boys get into the outside fridge and freezer but it might have been happening much more…

New arrangements
This weekend we’ve reorganized a few things which will hopefully have positive results. We moved Savannah and Alyssa into the room that Ezra and Noah were not really loving in and definitely not caring for. The boys are now officially roomless and sleeping in the family room. Before they officially had a room but were…

Riding again
Apparently the kids went riding again today (no surprise there) but made Highland Glen Park their destination – three times. The last time I went with them after I got home from work and Noah somehow fell in the creek. He’s not sure how he fell, I just heard Isaac call to me about it…

Guinea pigs
Among the first things this morning Mariah called me to her room where she told me that Molly had died last night. We cried and talked about how much Molly had shown her love even while she was sick. Later tonight it occurred to me that she might have gotten such partly because I forgot…

Telling the kids
Tonight we told the rest of the kids or plans for who was going where. The day started with Mom telling me she thought Emma should stay closer than Idaho and held it the possibility of her spending days with Lisa. I love the thought of not sending her so far away but it would…

A path forward
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…
