you just made me cry - your mom asked me if I was happy to have my house back - I told her, I have my house back but I have an ache in my heart for my family!! What is the point of having a house as big as mine if I don't have tons of family filling it up? So...COME BACK! Anytime you want, for as long as you want! There are plenty of historical sites here to keep us busy for at least 10 more visits!! I love you guys!

Okay.. this is weird. I was telling jason that I was gonna post about the kids and their trial because I didn't know if they were going to be going home very soon. And anyways, I told him I was thinking of the song "one more day" and i started singing it to him and everything. AND THEN i get on your blog and the song is on! WEIRD. but the parents had their trial today and we are going to be able to have the kids a lot longer than we thought. The state received full custody of them today. The parents have a year from today to get their act together. WE MISS YOU! so who knows maybe you will get to see them again afterall.. Love you guys..
