Family Matters

We’re hoping for some clarity in the divorce after a hearing with the two lawyers, the Colorado Family Investigator and the judge. It happens on Tuesday, Sept. 6th. An outline of custody arrangements plus some movement on the selling of the house on Pontiac Street in Denver should result. These will be temporary orders. The final orders, barring need for a trial (acchh!), will come in October.

The regularity of these visits has increased our level of intimacy with the kids, allowing a bit of a rhythm to develop. Yesterday Jon and I took Gabe and Ruth to Arapahoe Basin, known simply as A-Basin to skiing aficionados.

This was Ruth’s idea. She wanted to hike where she’s been, “…skiing for seven years.”  That’s 70% of her life.

And so we did.
