a weekend in a blog post....

quite the weekend! very busy and lots of fun.

we made an overnight trip to princess Sara's house (my youngest daughter) to dress shop for her wedding. wow, that was emotional! and she found one that she felt was truly hers, so much so it brought her to tears!

time spent there let Ant and one of his cousins reacquaint and they enjoyed the time together.
not exactly into the same things but i was proud of Ant for being so easy to get along with.
i think he was a bit intimidated by his cousins "smarts" lol

after another hair raising ride in the car with unka D at the wheel, we headed home on saturday.
(Ant likes D's driving about as much as me ... he thinks he's getting spoiled by riding shotgun with me in the back seat...HA! i had a great trip there and back with my pillow and my eyes closed!)
'safely' home, Ant and i had a fun hang out day....poor unka D had to work.

on sunday we had "man church"....for the fathers.....whom Ant is one. 
he was very excited about getting a steak (all the fathers's did) in fact, he was given two!
we are going to chuck them up tonight.
after church we went for KFC (i'm gaining weight feeding this boy the things he likes....time to get back to veggies!!)

the best part of the weekend came sunday afternoon, we went to my granddaughters' ballet recital!
here Ant got to reconnect with a few more cousins.
and get this! he actually enjoyed watching the show!

he felt he really clicked with his male cousin at the ballet, inspite of the fact that Ant was enjoying the show so much lol (his cousin has seen too many over the past 15 yrs of  his life LOL).
this particular young man has more in common with Ant than we thought.....but that's a whole 'nother blog!!!!

i am so encouraged by how he is changing daily.
he's such a ham...always trying to find ways to make us laugh, he really enjoys entertaining!
from his Auzzie accent to his teasing his unka D and laughing at my auntics!

he really wants to stay in the fall and go to school here...that's the fly in the ointment.
it turns out that SD33 won't allow an out of province student go to school here.
not unless we have legal guardianship.
through the courts.
 not just a notary or signed piece of paper.
we didn't run into this in Abbotsford when we had his uncle come live with us (ya, we've done this before)
so i really don't know what to do.
i'm not sure his mom is comfortable with that idea.

any how, that's our weekend in a blog post!
keep us in your prayers as God sees fit to use us to help this young comedian!
