My Licensed Therapists!

Sorry I haven't updated the blog in a few days, I think I have personally been on overload and I need a little down time which I am not sure I will get anytime soon. Kenny is doing fantastic...he is walking well although his hip is still very tender and he is guarding it a lot. His scar is healing well, and his mouth seems to be giving him very little pain unless it is irritated by something he eats or he bumps his face. All in all, physically and emotionally he is doing far better than we anticipated at this stage and when we shared with him what had happened and that he will need another surgery to finish the bone grafting he was not too upset about it.

Tons of little things going on in our lives, nothing noteworthy really. I can't begin to tell you how nice it is for all of us to be back home together, and for surgery not to be looming over our heads. I am also discovering I am in a new place emotionally with our adoption and seem to be able to just let it all go for the moment and not stress. I am looking forward to a special summer spent with the boys and plan on just savoring the moment and not worrying about the "when" or the "how". It will all come together in God's time (don't you just love those platitudes?) and I am not really in control anyway, so there is no need to sweat it all. I am happy to finally be in this place...at least this week .

We are planning some camping trips and are all looking forward to that. We don't have a ton of things on the schedule yet for the summer...although I always regret saying such things. It can be hard to find that balance between time with nothing to do to just hang out and time to be busy so boredom doesn't set in. Thus far we have been really successful with that through the years, and I can say in all honesty that I have not one time heard the immortal words "There's nothing to do...I'm bored!" at our house. We try to hit the library once a week, go to a park, swim or play with water or the trampoline at our house, have other kids over regularly, build forts, take things apart to see how they work, do a craft now and then, and other less-than-thrilling-but-somehow-engaging activities that one way or the other seem to keep them happy and involved without spending inordinate amounts of money.

Kenny is working on a writing project about his trip to Shriners and we are going to illustrate it and make it into a little book to turn in to his teacher. He spent a good portion of today writing and we ended up with about 10 pages written in his composition book. He was very proud of himself and rightfully so...that 10 pages constitutes about 5 hours of work for him as he struggles to get his thoughts spelled out. We will work on corrections tomorrow, then the final copy. He is excited about it and I am thrilled to see him writing so much and working so hard.

Coincidentally, we have the Shriners circus in town on Wednesday next week, and we are all excited to go and we have some close friends who are also going to share the fun and contribute as they can to the cause. It sure makes the circus real for you when you see the end result of all that fundraising. And frankly, I don't care HOW much we drop at that circus...it will be nothing compared to the care Kenny has already received, let alone what we know is coming in the future.

I received an email from our new friends we met there with the little boy who had cleft surgery. Happily he is doing really well, is as cute as a button, and I am so glad we met them. Hopefully it is a relationship we can continue via email as his mom is a real sweetheart.

Not much else to report, thankfully. After all the mini-drama of last week, it is so nice to report that nothing is going on! I'll write more over the next few days, I have a few thoughts on a couple of things I want to put out there. I know that often my posts are as boring as can be, and that most of you are here only for adoption oriented material...but this is a place where often I find I am able to work out many things unrelated to adoption. I apologize for the times when the writing tends to be more inwardly working things out than outwardly talking to you all. But since you all are really voyeurs into my brain via this blog (and why do you find that brain the least bit fascinating??? Still haven't been able to understand that one!! hahahah!) it must be expected that I don't think about adoption ALL the time :-) With God's work behind the scenes, eventually we will have plenty more adoption talk coming and you'll get more than your fill, I am sure. In the meantime, quickly close the window if you peer in and find my ramblings not to your liking. Consider this inexpensive counseling for me, and all of you are my licensed therapists!!

Hey Cindy

YOu have never posted a boring blog entry, not that I can remember and if you post something that that I dont relate to, I just skim read it.
I really love your honesty and love the way you talk and and love on to your boys. YOu are a great example to me of how GOd is working in the LaJoy household, but you never need to say that, your example of life speaks for you loudly and clearly (not that I am saying you never mention God).

I really would love to meet you in real life, and would love to meet your boys, but I know that will never happen so I will content myself with meeting you all thru your fabulous writing.

And remember too, as you inwardly have worked thru feelings, situations, joyful times etc. your honesty goes a long way in helping us who too struggle with these as well.

I wish you well and hugs to the boys, esp Kenny.

Joyce

PS Would you be able to or even want to scan his book in so we can see it too???

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Now, I feel good, I begin to get real money.
It's all about how to select a correct partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
