the good, the sad, and the ugly

ahhh, there really has been a lot of "good" around here...

like getting a little more sleep at night for instance.

then there's...

lots of pool time

plenty of dart tag

( I'm a tad concerned that the older one

looks a little too serious about his role)

as for the "sad"...

these two left for church camp last night :(

sad for me...happy for them

actually, they're staying right here in 

town in church host homes,

so I could spy, I mean check on them at any time...

honestly, I LOVE the heart of our church. 

our teens will be partnering with a 

different local ministry

every morning to serve in within our city,

and going downtown to pray with 

people in the afternoon.

their evenings will be worship/teaching

 times @ the church .

friday will be a fun, one day beach 

trip to celebrate together. 

the girls were sooo excited.

as for the "ugly",

evidently we are just one of many

adoptive families in a wrestling match

of sorts with the IRS over our

adoption tax credit return...

we've submitted the required paperwork

twice so far, and were told to expect 

a possible 3rd request.

ugh, ugh, ugh.

 maybe I should send the

dart tag duo 

to knock on some doors...
