“Sometimes we fight not because we hate what is in front of us, but because we love what is behind us.”

After the court hearing that granted John full custody of his boys, our lives were suddenly more hectic than they had been.  We quickly hired an amazing nanny, since John and I both worked full time, and spent a few days getting the house ready for three additional boys.  On the trial date, the judge had given no solid schedule for how John and Loren were to split their time with the boys.  Both attorneys were able to draft an order stating that the boys would continue to alternate households every two weeks throughout the summer.  Once summer was over, the boys would begin living with John full time, just three days before the new school year began.
