Our very own support group

This evening we attended a cluster group for foster-adoptive parents. Sadly, we regret that it is the first time ever attending. We should've went a long time ago. It was such a tremendous help having people who share experiences with us to eat, talk, and discuss the "system". We got to meet new people and people who are great contacts if we ever have a need for a babysitter. That need is coming soon too! We're going back next month too and the month after etc. It starts with a potluck and you bring your kids and they have planned activities for them after dinner so the adult can have the meeting. Good stuff!

Kid Swap

Tomorrow we get the Morris boys. A while ago we started our very own kid swap with Andy's brother and SIL. It is always a joy to have Gabe's little cousins over. And of course, he loves going over to their house when it is our turn. It is worked out so one week we have their boys and the next week they have Gabe. So far it has worked out great! Every time we get in the car Gabe asks if we're going to their house actually. He has his family lists in his head for sure and theirs is at the top.
It is definitely a good break for the kids and the parents :)

Home Alone

It was a strange but nice reminiscing of life living on my own yesterday. Andy left for Columbus way early in the morning yesterday. Prior to that, on Wednesday night we left Gabe to stay over at the cousins house. We really appreciate having family around! Anyways, I worked all day Thursday and Friday and sometime on Thursday Gabe was transferred to my MIL's house where I would pick him up Friday night. I came home Thursday to an empty house and had a bed to myself. It never bothers me to be home alone. I slept well.

In honor of today...

FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY

In Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.

The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring," Case dismissed!"

The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my Client and all other atheists have no such holidays."

The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."

The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."

The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned."
