Giggles

Is there any better sound in the world than giggles from children? Seriously. I think not. Last night the girls and my newly aquired child, the boyfriend of my oldest, went on a mini road trip. We were headed to what we hope will be our new HOME! A house, with muches yard, big rooms and gasp! we can have puppies!!

So yeah, we were driving, me slightly(ok very) distracted reading on my blackberry. When I hear the purest laughter from the back seat. I stole a sideways glance at Darkness, who was looking at me. And we both glanced back, mine longer and more intense than his as he was driving, to see the 8 year old girl glowing and laughing. Just pure innocent laughter. She was tucked between her sister and the boyfriend. The oldest were smiling demurely and making lovey eyes at each other. The little one cracked up. I was so happy. Her laughter has been stifled and rare since the seperation. I was warmed to hear her simply being happy.


Ok house! Yes. We will have our answer on Monday. We returned our application last night and as long as our references check, we are good to go. I am so damn excited. A whole house, just for us. In the woods. Grass, flower beds, garden, apple trees oh my! I have missed having a garden and canning, so for me I am beyond excited. I love to have my hands in the earth and have plans for a kitchen herb garden, a veggie garden, flower beds and canning applesauce and jelly from the trees there. I am trying to hold back the excitment, but it is too hard!!

So there is the latest and greatest from here. School is winding down and I am holding my breath counting away to summer vacation. I have seriously missed the extra time with little ones :)
