The weekend was good

We finally were successful in getting Julia for a visit! She arrived on Friday afternoon and we took her back Sunday afternoon. It is a two and a half hour drive to the airport in Milwaukee but I am very proud of Ankica and Lillian for making that drive FOUR times in the course of the weekend.

We had fun, especially because Belmont had its fair this last weekend. The fair is the oldest in the state at 95 years old! There was a parade and games and rides and animals being judged. It made for a long day on Saturday, especially when we drove to Dubuque hoping to find a Cici's pizza only to find that it had closed. Julia loves Cici's but isn't allowed to go while she is in Georgia. Ah well.

Pray for Julia, and for us, as we start to move forward with things. We were given some insight into her life right now and while some things are just fine, others are more disturbing than ever.

Thanks for all of you that are joyful with us when Julia can spend time with us, especially with her sisters. They had a very good time :-) Pictures will follow soon.
