Check in
Hi All,
I did decide to send Kiran to daycare this week. Dana's brother is still missing but was sighted in Northern MN, close to where they grew up, on Monday. Since then, there have been no reports of where he is. He hasn't tried to contact anyone in his family and the authorities said that if he didn't within 24 hours chances where slim that he would. His parents, his birthmother and adoptive father are scared that he is going to come after them for money but so far so good. The authorities don't believe that he has any way to get money or gas so eventually, if they let him hide in the woods in northern MN he will surface. Dana does have a system in her house, compliments of the Eagan police department, that if he should show up all they have to do is press a button and within 5 minutes some one will be at their house.
She hasn't talked to him for 14 years. He didn't even know that he had 2 nieces and nephew by her. That was until his last visitor, the oldest sister of the family, had a visit with him over a year ago. She told him all the facts about the siblings and their families.
Dana and family are trying to live as normally as possible. All schools have been alerted and my SIL saw a police presence at the elementary school during dismissal today. We are all hoping that he is back in custody soon and this nightmare will be over for her family.
On a positive note, this weekend, Gill and I are escaping to a wedding in South Dakota. I cannot tell you how excited I am to have him all to myself for 48 hours. Ok, there is the wedding but maybe we won't even make it. HAHAHAHA!!! I am picking him up at noon on Friday and off we go. A 6 hour car ride together. If that doesn't make or break us, I don't know what will........
I don't even want to think of the politics in the world, what I don't know cannot worry me..... My life has never been so full yet there is this looming threat of nuclear war..
Have a great weekend and I will let you all know when the sex offender is caught.....
See you all on Sunday.....

Gosh, I hope they find the jerk (would like to use a few expletives but will restrain myself). Are they even close to finding him? You've got a very ethical baby sitter. Major kudos to her for calling you.
So how was your time w/ Gil? Make it to the wedding? :)

Enjoy your trip! 6 hours is a nice little jaunt; I don't think there's a chance of it breaking you!

I think you made the right decision to return your child to daycare. The same caregiver who called to warn you can be counted on to protect your kids and to sound the alarm if he comes around.
You are right to wonder why this is not getting the kind of news coverage it deserves.

Wow, what a strange situation to be caught up in.
Life can be so darn weird sometimes.
I truly hope your romantic get-a-way was all that you hoped for and then some.
Do tell all!
Love to you,

hey you, what a stressful time. you deserve a fun weekend away. i hope it's the berries (does anyone say that anymore?)!
a society that preys on its own children is sick indeed. i hope he decides to come in on his own.

Hope your weekend was wonderful! 6 hours in the car together can be full of interesting and insightful conversation.
Your decision to send Kiran to daycare sounds well thougt. It is good to hear that people are taking extra precaution. Hope he is caught soon.
