Greg's foster family held a BBQ in his honor today. Today has been FUN. Light, easy and fun.
The Arch. Go Karts, Shopping (Sales, Sales, Sales OH MY!)
Slept until 8 this morning. My first good sleep since we left home.
Greg is loving hanging out with his 17 year old foster brother he lived with for 3 years. He is back to being the confident kid I know. Doesn't "need" to ride with me. Doesn't "need" to stick to my side. The ever persistant silence around other adults has let up, well ... as much as it ever lets up for a 13 year old boy.
I had brought 3 suitcases down. 1 filled with clothes, 2 with gifts. I was really hoping to bring only two suitcases home.
Did I mention those sales?
And Target? Children's Place? And Old Navy? And the Nike factory store?
AND .... most importantly .... WE GOT OUR OBAMA SHIRTS.
And I admit it. I bought two for me.
