Leaves


It's been two months!
Here we are,
two months of five-dom.
To celebrate our survival
we took a family picture and
our social worker will come visit tomorrow
for our second post-placement visit.
Yahoo!

Did you see those leaves behind us?
The trees are amazing right now.

 This in the tree in our front yard.
And it's 80 degrees.
For over a week we get 70-80 degrees and sunshine.
It is so wonderful.
Nevermind the winter dread,
we pulled out our shorts and sunblock again.


And now for the inaugural leaf pile playing...










Charlie enjoyed the leaves in moderation.
Not up to his chest.

And now,
I have some pirate books to read.
Aloud.
To Reuben.
I'm more of an Amish novel gal.
Waiting for this one to come in at the library...


The second in the Rose Trilogy.
The best Amish novel I've read,
but I don't remember why.
It's been so long since I read the first one,
called The Thorn,
that I'm going to have to reread it before I move on
to The Judgement.
My reading comprehension/retention
has always been quite poor,
but it's great for rereading books and watching
movies over and over again.
Huh, Paul?
Can't get enough of Pride and Prejudice.


Is he too proud, or is it her?
Will they end up together in the end?
