Patrick made it home "safe and sound" from youth camp. Both Andrew and I were very happy to see him. I'm not even remotely cut out to be a single parent. I applaud all you single moms and dads out there.
Patrick did come home with a "camp" cold. You and I both know, lack of sleep, close quarters, and probably not the greatest hygiene (i.e. germ infested dorms) lead to things like colds. Unfortunately, I'm not the world's best nurse. I'm working on it, but with the exception of Andrew, I don't have a very good bedside manner. Guess it's a good thing I went into teaching and not nursing (not to mention all my insane germaphobic tendencies).
On Thursday, we are heading to San Antonio for a short three night trip. We are going to take Andrew to Sea World and spend some time at the riverwalk. I'm looking forward to getting away for a few days. In all honesty, I wanted to go to the mountains this summer. We went to Lake Tahoe last December, and it was beautiful but cold and insanely snowy (in the first 24 hours we were there it snowed 24 inches). But oh the mountains in the summer . . . I love the mountains in the summer. There is just something about the mountains, be it in a breathtaking majestic view or a quiet tree covered beauty, that reminds me like nothing else how mighty my God is, and that brings a peace like no other. Unfortunately, there just wasn't a way to squeeze a trip to the mountains into our crazy summer schedule. Maybe next year . . .
In a few weeks summer will be over, and I'll be back at work. I'm trying not to think too much about it. I don't want to spend what little bit of time off I have left moping about it coming to an end. While I love being home during the summer, I don't so much like the
So I'm thinking I've bored everyone enough for one night or day as the case may be. Hope you have a great Monday!

Because I can't pull up your email...I will answer your question here. We did FBI prints to send in with our dossier. At the time of our referral we were told that they would want new ones that would be fairly recent by the time we went to court. Our agency told us to wait until after our first trip (roughly) and that way they would be fresh by court...we sent them in just before our first trip. If they are older than 6 months by the time that your are requesting or given a referral, they will ask for them to be updated. Does that clarify anything for you?
