Another Day in the Life of Karen

My husband, Dale, with Ashlyn, Ryan, Patrick, Sheila, and Van in the back row

taken at my brother, Bill's, house...this is where I am going to this weekend

I am traveling to Hot Springs, AR to see my mom this weekend and to see my son at the church where he has accepted a youth pastor's position.

We finally made the last payment on the used minivan but as we were driving it home it kept overheating and would shut itself off...we are hoping to have it fixed so that we can take it to Hot Springs this weekend as we need the room and the heaters. We are still trying to sell my Taurus to help pay for the taxes and licensing of the minivan.

We got the summons today for Ryan's Termination of Parental Rights hearing against my youngest daughter. So it looks like he will be adopted by us about the same time we are doing Ashlyn's adoption.
