A Quiet House

Last Thursday (7/7) our three foster boys were moved from our house to a new placement. We are happy they are able to move to this next step but it is still quite weird at the house. On Thursday night we were sitting on the couch and I realized nobody was going to be running up the stairs or in from outside to ask a question or grab something. I had forgotten what it was like to be in the house without the 3 boys. It was an amazing experience to have the boys and we learned a lot about them and us. I say prayers for them that only good will be in the future.

As for Rich and me, we are transitioning back to an adult only house and back into our normal summer groove. Rich started working again and I have been getting projects done that I have not been able to get done before this. I am hoping this week to start attacking stuff for the fall and the 2 week summer school program I am teaching at the end of the month. Before we know it, school will be back in session.

Thanks for all the support from our family and friends throughout this 6 week journey. It made a huge difference and the experience even better.
