Not my cup of tea. I’ll visit someday. How about that?

Tell me more lol. I’m not aware

AZ has Sedona and they are big on vortexes and such, lots of addiction recovery stuff up there. Maybe that’s what you’re referring too.

Man, your kids look just like you! So sweet!

I imagine their placement family is glad to have them while you find health…a great example of the foster system working. :heart:

Thank you kindly, they are adorable little creatures.

When they were taken from our custody they were placed with my brother and his family, they are the ones who called DCS in the first place, but they didn’t realize what they were getting into. So after 2 weeks with them, they gave them to foster care. There was so much anxiety and fear because of all the horror stories we had heard. We have 4 kids and it’s near impossible to find a placement that can support that so that was another worry. They were not just separated from us but from each other. They are so strong, they took it all in stride.

God favored us. He put them into 2 loving homes with great people. I’m thankful, complete strangers had more understanding and compassion than my sister in law. They waited until our Sunday night visit to give them to DCS, that was a long 2 weeks. Everything happens for a reason, He works wonders.

That’s amazing. I’m so happy that your family is getting this assistance. You guys are mending your wounds and building yourselves into something greater.

I am too. It was a blessing in disguise.

No idea where I’d be without all the madness in January

Somehow I was never huge into meth, but every time I did you can bet I wanted more

You are going to seriously regret that tambourine. I can just feel it.

@Charlie_C, it’s so good to see pictures from the wedding! That was the one you were working so hard at sobriety for, yes? You both look like you were having a blast, but there is something extra special about your face. Amazing!

Lordy, Bennett is what cheesecake would be in human form. So cute and full of cheese!

I agree with the miniature yous comment. I’m not sure your wife gave birth to that brood or if you just had yourself cloned 72639 times.
