Settling in

Dillon has settled in quickly.....some things don't change.  I'm not sure if there is any comfort in that or not but he is a seventeen year old boy so that explains it.  The bright side is that the left overs will get eaten and won't go to waste.  He can do the trash again, and an addition to another dog walker.  The snacks aren't lasting as long and he's investigated everything in the pantry.  Two boys again in the house is a little loud and rough at times.  But all in all things are going alright.

 Except its going to be a long month with a restless young man that doesn't know what to do with himself.  I took him to the park yesterday for an hour so he could ride his bike.  Today he wanted to go to the mall and walk around, sorry I just don't want to. (he has several strict rules to follow, and a curfew all with supervison from his dad or me)

I continue to pray for him and ask that God will grab a hold of him and help him to see things His way and not his way.

Here is what happens when it rains and you have a teenager that has been inside way too long:

I really like this one....its hard to see but there is such a cute little boy in that teenage body that is happy like a child.

I take a deep breath as I continue to lean on God for his strength and wisdom in this family of mine.
