Bonnie and Russell - we lean not on our own understanding at this time but seek God's peace. Our prayers are with you. I will always remember the day when Wesley was very young, he asked me if he could go play with Jake at your house. I said no and a few minutes later I could not find him anywhere. My greatest fear was he was in the Bayou. I figured out he may have gone to play with Jake anyway. Sure enough he was there. Ted came and got him and spanked his butt all the way home. Ted and I love you guys.
