We've survived the first week

Hello all, sorry been so lax in putting an update up, but getting everthing and everybody washed, laundered, put away, homework done, fed, and everything that children entail I've basically dropped into bed at night. Audrey has been a wonderful help in getting things together and done in a timely manner with all of them. Good news is they're adjusting, bad news is that means that the middle one is more prone to tantrums now, but that is the beauty of them having their own bedroom. Can just put him in there until he decides to stop screaming. I go in every few minutes and ask if he was done yet, and just got screamed at, so said ok and left and repeated it until he decided to stop screaming at me. Took a little while but he did eventually stop screaming. He was decidedly unhappy at that moment. Now I'm told by the courts that I cannot discuss anything about any of the court hearings that will identify the children, or possibly harm the case in anyway shape or form, so if you ask, I am unable to give any answers other than we're working on it basically. Hopefully we get everything to happen the way that we want it to go. Good news is that the older two boys have been granted permission to go on the Polar Express train ride in Williams like they have every year for the past 4 years (I think 4 years...). They're so excited to go, they get to go this weekend. They travel to the North Pole, pick up Santa Clause, and go back. Is pretty cool if you ask me. I'm going to look into how much it costs for us to maybe go next year. The kids say it's pretty cool. I'll have to see.

Things are starting to fall into routine around here, which helps alot with the kids. We had JC here to day also, his mom was feeling really bad, she seems to have caught something that isn't looking very comfortable. So I kept him today after picking him up from school for her to get some rest. At this point, what is one more fairly self sufficient kid? But over all everything seems to be going fairly well. I'm glad that I have loving friends and family that are so supportive through this! I know some people think we're crazy  for doing this, but I think that it's crazy not to. Have to give and love as you would want to receive and be loved. With that note I am off to my show and relaxing. Have a wonderful rest of your week.

Love, The Tucson Fennimore Family (and then some).
