A long overdue update!
This afternoon Michelle verbally slapped my hand for not writing a blog post in SUCH a long time! Has it really been over a month?! I haven’t been sat twiddling my thumbs, I can assure you. In fact, there truly are not enough hours in the day right now to get done all that I want to. As you can see from the photo, we did get enough snow one day for Caleb to get creative.

A dark, dark day that ended with hope.
Richard and I NEVER again want to go through a day like we experienced yesterday. It was Friday and it was CRUNCH time! Hannah was due to be released and we had NO solution. Talk about being between a rock and a hard place. We knew she could not come home and we also knew that we didn’t want to put her in the hands of CPS but what other option did we have?
