PRAISE GOD!!!!!! We found him! After 2 days & 2 nights of worrying and sleeplessness, K has returned home. There are a lot of unanswered questions, but he is now home.
The short of it,(no pun intended)
After cold calling all the places he ever talked about and driving what felt like a million miles, I called his old school to see if they could give me a little insight on where he might be & if I could get a picture of him. They saw him yesterday. I told them about some of the friends he told me about, the school contacted them and within 5 minutes, they knew exactly where to find him. Keith & I w/ T&E in toe met @ the school. The school sent someone to pick him up, but to no avail. He did not want to go with her. So the lady from the school call PD, who brought him to us at the school. PD gave him 2 options, go home with us or go to foster care. Praise God, he picked us. Things are still pretty fuzzy, but I know where he is. We made a point to express to him that we love him and just want him to be happy. Pray that he will learn what love is. & that we do a good job of being examples. I'll update more later! Thanks for all the prayers!!

a quick little prayer request:
K left last night on his bike @ about 5pm. by 9pm we called he police, he was now where to be found. have not slept, so sleepy i cant stay awake. he is 12 so he is considered missing as a run away. we are super worried about him. pray that he returns safe and sound soon.
thanks

The move! Yes it all started Friday night! It continued into all day/night Saturday. Alas, Sunday any yet, still continues today.
Some people from church came and helped pack and move stuff over! We are total blessed by our church family. They were/are so wonderful. It could not have been done without all their help.
We are slowly settling in. Prayfully we will be unpacked within 2 weeks. We'll not sure to have a get together soon.
I am very tired, so is Keith. I can hardly type and think at the same time.
The house is perfect for us by God's design.
night night!

God is totally providing for us!!! Yes, we are moving!!! How great is God, the perfect house, the right amount, the perfect numbers of rooms, (including bathrooms). There's a yard, fenced in back yard, garages, W/D hook up!! Even a fire place!! How great is that!!
We'll be signing the papers later this week. And we'll start moving Friday after Keith is off work.
Other news:
Leanna had her baby @ 130am Benjamin Eric Prim, 7lb 8oz 21 in long. Both were doing fine when I got the call.
W has been placed in a school. Praise God! Just waiting for the call to register him.
We had a nice weekend. Saturday we did family stuff. I think everyone had fun.
Sunday-church. It was an okay day. The boys got a call from HER and she got them all worked about moving and all the stuff that waits for them. I feel so bad for the boys. I spoke to Keith's sister-in-law. Pretty much every thing SHE has put into the boys head is pooh pooh! None of it is true. SHE is rambling on about coming back to Ca. to get the boys and bring them back with HER to Mo. Or haw if we don't have the guardian papers or guardianship to transfer to her, SHE is going to move back here, get them and guardianship of them. I know it's all talk, but I am scared. I just want what is best for those boys. Pray that we get this paperwork done & the birth cert. without hassle and that it happens soon.
Well, better get back to work. Thanks for all the prayers! 4 days until the move!
Praise God! He is so good!!

I figures! A while back ago I wrote about going to Earth Dance 2005. And as I expected, my sister, who wanted us to go, backed out. That is fine. But I have to say I am not surprised. I knew when she first asked at that she would do this. She is just like someone I know, she doesn't know him, but is so much like him it is scary.

It is all good, because we are done with OT at work until or after Oct. It means I get to sleep and rest & spend time with the family.

PRAY PRAY! Please. We were to hear about renting that house today, he called, but we were gone and would not leave the message with the sitter. He said that he would try back at 6pm, but did not. We are very nervous. I am almost beside myself in anxiety. I just need to know , so I can plan my next step. I know it is all in God's time. I know he is in control. I just feel so nuts, lost, overwhelmed and tried right now, I just don't know what to do. W is still not in school, they want to wait to see if we move. Keith got paid a little extra this last week, praise God, but the when I deposited it, the bank did not post it and is sending the check back to us and no one over the phone would/could tell us why.
It just seems like even the little things are going the other way on us right now. I just don't understand. I would like one week with no events please!
W is a handful. I got him a work book to work in and we spend about 2-3 hour working on it. You might be thinking, wow, that is great. And maybe it is. But I know that I have learned that I will NEVER go back to school and get a special Ed credital. NEVER! We only get 2 to 3 pages done and it is a 1st grade book.
Keith has a hard time getting him to eat dinner. I think that Keith is tried by the time he gets home and just has nothing left. I try to explain to him that yelling at him is not the answer, it is no better then W's grandma & mother.
At this current moment I am wondering if we are doing the right thing. It is right for the boys? For our babies? For our family? For our marriage? I just don't know. I miss the way thing were and I wonder if should have never have gotten involved? I wonder if the boys will stay or go or if this is what God wants? I just don't know.

Wow, the living room is now so much bigger!!! Lots of room. :)
The boys are adjusting. Please pray for them.
Update: Both like Sunday school and want to go back & look forward to going! :)
Spoke to K's teachers today. He's doing well.
Pray that FO Unified will place W soon. Still no school for him. :(
CVRC is going to test W. starting 9/27 @ 10 am. Pray for that please.
Monster-in-law, I mean couch potato, I mean mother, made it back to MO Safely.
Keith & I feel more comfortable! :)
E is teething, rolling, crawling, rocking and shaking all over the place. She is VERY active! :)
T is 2, what else can I say?!?
In short, we are all well, praise God!!!
We found what we think is the "Perfect House" pray that it is and the it is the place for our family. I'll be dropping off the application tomorrow morning.
I am scared b/c I went ahead and put in our 30 day notice. But I know if this place is not it, God has the "PERFECT" one waiting for us some where.
We appreciate all the prayers. Keeping them flowing!!

BU-BYE

At 7 this morning, she left for LAX then @ 3 to MO.! I know that it sounds bad, you know to ship an old lady off. But the truth is, she'll be better off with no kids crying and running around. She'll have no one to yell at and bother her when she sleeps. I have no doubt that she loves K & W, in her own way. As strange to me as she is and her affection toward the boys and even T & E is, she only loves the only way she was taught. But alas, she is off to another's, who will care for her. Prayerfully it works out. There's NO coming back to our home in FO. Thanks again for all the prayers. Please continue to pray for the boys as they adjust, as T & E adjust too. Pray that God will give us wisdom in dealing with things as they come. Pray that God will provide to us a new place to live, and that all things are in His will for us. Thanks again!
Back to work I go!!!!!!!

It has been like forever since I updated this, but I have seen most of you that read it and we have gotten to see & talk to each other! :)
But here is a run down.
W & K are adjusting. Still waiting for W to get into the right school. Kieth's school refused to admit him b/c of his special Ed issues.
W & K had pink eye last Mon. Shared it w/ T & E and both had it by last Fri. Alas, there are no more pink eyes. :)
T & E are adjust well. T, having a little tougher time.
My monster-in-law prayfully will be stepping onto a plane & off my couch this Saturday @ 8am.
We meet w/ K & W's social worker on the 7th. Hope all goes well.
Keith is super busy w/ work.
I am okay. Had a nice weekend. I always enjoy a good wedding. Hoping to here from Tammy. Couldn't make it on Sunday. I have no # to contact her. Hey Tammy: if you see this while in Cal. Please call me.
Got a speeding ticket on the way to work today. I speed so I'm not late, I get stopped and I am still late. :P on the poop poop who gave me ticket for merging in to traffic. I don't deny I was speeding, but I had to get onto the street. Oh well.
That is all. God is taking care of our needs and providing for us. Continue to pray for our family. I know you all are, cause He is listening.
