Couple of other things – just to keep consistent with the journaling……

Still after GAL activities and working hard to keep PMA (even though last few posts have been focused in a different area):

- 2 weekends ago S15 and I flew to see nephew play in final college football game. My mom met us at the airport and we all went together. Also found out it was Senior day when we got there so that was a bonus. Quick trip but lots of fun….
- A couple mornings over that past few weeks S8 has grabbed a pair of walkie-talkies and we have played around in the morning while getting ready for school – one of us upstairs/one downstairs. Amazing how sometimes the smallest things can add joy and fun in our lives…..
- Yesterday took S17 to a college workshop focused on prep, finances, etc….. he protested a bit but not too much so I think he kind of wanted to go, even though he didn’t want to say that…..

Just getting these out there – mostly as a reminder to me I guess. Feeling a little stressed with the upcoming adoption court date on Wed and in-laws being in town for TGiving.

Deep breaths and remaining consistent…
