It's Sunday, a day of rest. But despite the picture, we did not do a lot of resting. The judge has asked us to provide pictures of every corner, hallway and closet of our home. She wants to be able to prove it is a nice and safe environment. So we have been frantically cleaning every inch so we can then photograph that inch. We also want the house to be nice since we are leaving for so long. A friend, Chris, will be staying here. He came by today to check things out and did us a huge favor by sticking around and watching Ben while we cleaned. He was a huge help.

So here are the pictures of our house. Not every single one, cause who wants to see every inch? Whether you normally comment or not, now is the time. I NEED to hear that my house looks nice and safe!

Your house looks so so so good! I'm very impressed. I think this is the cleanest I've ever seen it! Yay! 4 days!

Can't you just take Benjamin into court and show proof that a child has not only survived, but thrived in your home for the past two years? I can't see why you need the pictures as you have living proof! I think I still must have some resentment for the continual hoops as reading that the judge requested this struch a nerve with me. I'll be praying to soften the judges heart for the joining of your family. Oh, and the pictures look great! I guess on the positive side, it will be really nice to come home to a really clean house!!

Pam and Brain you house really looks great, sure hope it satisfies the judge. Can't see why it wouldn't. I agree with the other comments, you have living proof of how you manage your home. What a great grandson I have. Dad

Your house looks fabulous, clean and SAFE:) Just cracks me up, and like Amanda, riles me that they must have these pictures. Arghh! Will be praying for a safe, fun, memorable trip. Can't wait to follow along. I'm getting nostalgic already. Zech said this morning he was ready to go bring home his sister from Russia. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Blessings,
Pamela and the rest of the gang at the North's crazy house.
