As most of you know Tim and I were awarded sole custody of the children at the beginning of September. They moved in on Labor Day weekend. We got them enrolled in school the Tuesday after, and we hit the ground running.
Of course not everything has been sunshine and rainbows. The first few weeks went by and we were shocked that no one had a breakdown or any major issues {I guess they were still getting settled}. But now, they have been with us over a month and they are realizing they are here to stay and they are getting more settled......the new is wearing off and they're not as shy about their thoughts and feelings anymore {we want them to be honest & open about their thoughts and feelings of course}.
This has been a very hard transition for all of us. I can't imagine how hard it's been on the kids. I can only know 100% for sure how hard it is on Tim and me. But in the mist of all the struggle, we have had some fun. I sure hope the kids see that too.
Last weekend was CNH's b-day. She turned 13!! Instead of having a birthday party she wanted to go to the State Fair. Here are some pictures from the day.
