Beth and I got our annual load of meat this weekend. Same place as always, but we had a pretty big cow this year so it was a large haul. And a bit more expensive because of the volume, too. We went out to pick it up on Saturday, and had Alex drive to get him some good driving time. All the way to Wakarusa and back, plus a side trip over to the Amish grocery store to boot, got him about 2.5 hours driving time. And we were well stocked by the time we got home....Monday Beth and I got fingerprinted for the adoption process. The fingerprinting place is at Goodwill, of all places, and they do it all electronically so there's no ink stains. I also had to recreate a list of every address we've lived at since 1988 for the adoption process, for some reason, background checks and all. But we're ready to send everything in now, so as soon as the references all come in and the background checks are done, they'll schedule the home study.....Natalie has been fighting awful migraines for some time now, and she continues to miss school time because of it. She went to the doctor on Monday and to the ER on Thursday, without a lot of relief either time. The doctors think it's stress, but we're not sure from what, if there is a what. Or it could be the meds, or going off the meds schedule a couple times lately, hard to say.....Valentine's Day was this week, so I got some flowers for both the girls, which they both seemed to like a lot.....Today Beth went up to Michigan again to spend some time with the Pinksters and Wiessners. Julia is doing really well, apparently she will have 6-8 weeks of radiation to kill off the last bit of the tumor that they couldn't get out, but everything is lining up really well and she's recovering like nobody else ever. Beth got to see her for most of the afternoon, then had dinner with Ric and Nickie. It was snowing most of the day both here and there, but no real accumulation. Alex had to work, and Nat's head still hurt bad, so I stayed home with them.....
