True Confession

UPDATE at the end!

Luci went to play video games and spend the night with Bryan and Valerie Saturday night. We saw them all at church Sunday, and they begged for "more time, mama!" so we let Luci stay Sunday, too.

Enter the ice storm, and then five inches of snow. So thankful to see the sun this morning--but in reality it may be tomorrow late afternoon before we can get to her to bring her home.

Now it's Friday, and I miss my baby! This is the longest we've been apart since she came to us in August, 2005.

Yeah, I know, "she's doing fine," "she's having more fun with them than you," etc.

If you have a child who suffers from adoption trauma with its separation and anxiety issues, you'll understand.

yesterday: the main road to town

                                                                        our road

today: the sun came out!

She made it home! John said this last turn, into our driveway, was the worst part of the trip.

I'm so glad to have my darling home.

(I think she's glad to be home, too.)

Icy!

See? It truly was cold here. We did have snow. Just not much snow. We also had ice. This is a shot of Shoals Creek at Happy Hollow Bridge, on Sunday. The entire surface is covered with ice. Unreal!
