Updates....

Well, there are a few updates to mention today. We just got out of court for Alyx's sentencing, and the final decision by the judge is that she will be committed to Idaho state for an indefinite period of time. What happens first is that she will go to Nampa to be assessed, and from there they will decide where the best facility is to place her. We are hoping this will be in Lewiston, as that is the closest place to us, or in Nampa, which is close to Twin for Marmee and GG. At this place, she will be going to massive counseling and also to school. The whole point of this is to help her get through her behavior issues and work on therapy to help her change her way of thinking. We all have a lot riding on this, and after she is out, we are planning to have her move back in here. Chris and I are really excited for this to be moving along, since juvie is not a good place for her. When she gets out, all your support will be greatly appreciated. We will be doing a lot of family counseling, etc. to get ready to welcome her back home. So, all in all, at least a decision is final and we know what's going to happen. We love Alyx and just so want her to be happy and be a part of our family. She says to tell everyone hi and she loves you all so much!

For greater news, Calli is almost adopted! We will go in front of the judge next week and he will sign her papers, and then that's that- she officially belongs to Chris AND me!!! I'm super excited for this, and it's a really big deal to Calli, so we are going to do a little something to celebrate after wards. I feel so extremely blessed to have all these wonderful little souls in my life, and I am so thankful to have met their daddy- what a wonderful gift to give me for marrying him!
