YEA!!!!  I see sunshine!!!  Now it is glistening off the frost on the grass and ground to make it look like we really did get snow!   We got lots of snow, but none stuck.   I think the rain gage showed almost an inch of rain/moisture.   We really need it.  I am thankful for that. 

The down side is the loss of babies.  I have no idea how many babies died in the pen.  I know that at least 1/2 probably more of the babies that were under a week old are dead.  Remember I had 10 one morning so there were a lot.   I didn't even bring many to the barn.  Being sick and then gone to church yesterday I couldn't find them soon enough to bring them in and thaw them out.  Most of the ones I tried, still died.  That is why I hate cold wet weather! 

Today is the day that the case worker will talk to W. about joining our family.  I woke up from a dream about him.   He was at our house.  But I was also telling a young lady about our family and how we did school.  Then there is the child on the Texas adoption site that sounds like a fit IF he is OK with younger kids.   LOL   do you feel the confusion?   I got up with it and had a nice long talk with God about my feelings.  I know He isn't a God of confusing.  I got one word....WAIT.  So I wait and just continue to pray His will.  I pray for W also, not that he join our family, but that God's plan for him be carried out.  That God would watch over him and keep him safe.  Please join me in keeping this situation lifted before God.  WE seek His will, His direction.  We want the right doors open and any door that isn't supposed to be open closed and locked.   I have peace.  I am OK with either way this decision could go.   I will be sad if W doesn't join us, but will know that he isn't the child God has planned for us.  I will continue to pray for him and his forever family.   I will also continue to look and seek and beat the bushes for the child that IS suppose to be a part of our family.  

Today is laundry and getting back into the swing of school.   We took last week off.  That always makes the first day of school harder.   I have one that has done some school and two that seem to have forgotten they can start early and finish early.   It IS their choice what time they get to play.  Sometimes that is hard for me to remember.   I like things done so they aren't hanging over my head.  I have the laundry sorted and will start it as soon as I finish this post.  Then off to the barn.   My 11 yo is starting something new today it is called Brain Builder.  He struggles with remembering things and listening.  This "should" help.  They say it will in time.  I will keep everyone posted as to how it works.  It is suppose to help with ADHD also.  I scrapped the 3rd grade stuff for my almost 7 yo.  We will review some 2nd grade stuff.  She just doesn't do well on the computer.   I was using SOS.  I can take the same math problems and print them off and she will make 100, yet miss many on the "puter.  I think it is just way to big a distraction.  

Everyone have a blessed day!
