Back to "Normal"

Well, today the girls were returned to their home. It was determined that, though mom was not fit to take care of them, others in the home were. Seemed like the right decision as I took in the process and heard lots of testimony and history. (Quite an education!)

Lydia is a bit sad as she was really liking the notion of sisters closer to her age. But, we have family coming in tomorrow from Kansas, so we have something to look forward to that helps move on. Besides, Christmas is almost here!

So now we wind down a bit and put our noses to the grind of getting last minute details done before family arrives. I am installing new cabinets in our dining room, trimming out Lydia's closet, and putting in a new over-the-stove microwave. Katie and Lydia are doing last minute cleaning and room prep as well as collecting some of the girls' last minute things. Gabe and Abby? Well, they're taking their naps.
