Oksana has been pooping in the potty since Thursday. I've altered her meds a little bit to try to prevent the leaking but still keep her from holding too. It's a delicate balance. We'll see how this works.
On Saturday the adoptive/foster families from our church spent the evening at a local ranch for a family picnic. Honestly, I didn't want to go. I was just not in a very good place and didn't feel like dealing with lakes, bonfires, etc. with the girls. I had made a commitment to be there though so off we went and we had the BEST time! I so needed that. I just needed to have fun with my family again. We had a blast doing hay rides, paddle boats, pony rides, making s'mores, and just having a great time with great friends. Even Larry's pain was well under control so everyone was able to really enjoy themselves. I can't tell you how refreshed I felt after the horrible few weeks we have had.
To top it all off I got to go to church today and it was wonderful, amazing, spectacular! Our pastor is doing a sermon series on love based on 1 Corinthians 13. What a timely series for me. Today's time in church and with the Lord ministered to me in a big way. I felt better than I had in a long time when I left there. We've had a relaxing day at home Sunday and then I planned some fun activities for the week (with flexibility since we should know Tuesday if Larry is going to need surgery). We are going to have a summer vacation even if it does start late!
Here are some pictures from our time at the ranch :)
