The balance of life!

Yesterday, Aedyn and I arrived home in good time; it only took us about 1 1/2 hours as opposed to the 3 hour trek to Riverside last Thursday. It was great to be home! It was great to get back to our routine and see and be with Daddy. Aedyn was so happy to see his toys. Right after I fed him he played in his exersaucer for at least a 1/2 hour just as happy as can be. Oh by the way, Aedyn is "talking" up a storm. He babbles constantly, to himself,to his toys, to Mommy and Daddy, to strangers (we gotta nip that one in the bud), he is a very social little boy. He always has to be (or know) where the action is! On Tuesday night, (still at Kat & Jon's), they have a group of friends meet at their home, and Aedyn just played on his playmat while looking at everyone and talking to them.Of course then he promptly went to sleep so Mommy could socialize herself!

We did get an update on the KIA. Basically the fuel injection system is shot (too much gas is being pumped into the engine and flooding it) and we have to wait for approval from our extended warranty company so the parts can be ordered and they can fix what we hope is the only problem. The approval will take a couple of days, the parts will take a couple, the repair will take a couple, so we are looking well into next week before we get our car back! This blows,but such is life and we are fortunate to have another running car!

So the balance of life comes when something in your life is not exactly good news, and then you receive great news with something else. We had our appointment with the social worker, it was very laid back and short. We found out we only have two more things to complete in order for the report to be done; the 5 month old doctor's checkup report and the home visit! Once those are done our social worker can submit his report to the court and we can make a date for a hearing to finalize!!! Aedyn turns five months on the 21st of this month, the social worker will do his home visit the beginning of March and submit his report ASAP. We could have a finalization hearing date by late March, early April! We probably won't have to wait until June. Of course we need to call our lawyer and see what he says, but the sooner the better. This way the tribe has less time to try to pull any stunts! So this is Great and Unexpected news!!!!

I will post some pics later today. Oh, Happy Valentine's Day!!!!
