Wonderful Weekend

Kim and I had a wonderful weekend. It was one of those times that coming home was difficult. It was nice to be alone with each other.

We saw a couple of movies: Mission Impossible and War Room. Both were really good, the later excellent.

The picture is one of the falls park. Sioux Falls, SD was hit with 7 inches of rain in a very short period of time. The falls were flowing in a roar.

We went to Brazilian, Vietnamese, Mediterranean and Italian restaurants, so we were culturally rounded.

Adoption

The book I'm reading now, Reunion by Karen Kingsbury has a section that has parents adopting a child and the pain of when the adoption falls through.

It reminded me of our experience. A couple decades ago we entered foster care with the intention of adopting a brother, 6 months and sister, 1-year-old.

The process started, and we were almost ready to finalize when another relative became available. We were devastated and went into a time of deep pain. Well, long story short, the relative didn't work out, and we adopted the two kids. But that time of pain became a birthing process and we bonded deeply with the kids.
