THURSDAY AUGUST 17

Today was great. I was feeling great and not torturing myself. Scott put everything of Serena’s things from the doctor in a plastic container with a handle to keep it handy and fresh. He also got her a chair like mine and asked her to take a nap with me and the kids. He thought if she was well rested she might not get sick as easy. Tomorrow will be 46 days. After lunch Serena was talking with Mom and Scott about her and her mom moving back to Jean’s place. Mom said, When we get the throwing-up under control or Jean comes home, which ever comes first we will talk about it. Serena said, mom was right. School will start in a couple of weeks. Megan decided to send her kids to school with Daniel’s boys. Daniels said she was happy with the school and it gave them a chance to socialize with other kids. Today was another nice summer day. Scott read a book to Hunter. Took her swimming and played games with her. When Hunter wants someone she puts her arms up and says, uncle. I think I am getting jealous.

FRIDAY AUGUST 18 At breakfast it looks like it might rain. Its still really warm out. Everyone was at breakfast. Josh tries to see Megan when ever he can. It’s so great to see people in love. At breakfast Scott got a text on his phone from Carlson. He told everyone what it said. Our guy in China said, Matthew and Jean went in the Monastery through the helicopter door and left out the front door. They looked good and were in good spirits when they left. Because they went out the front door there are so many places they could have gone and no record. They are trying to figure out where they went. Our man is gathering a team to check near by towns and monasteries to see if anyone has seen them. Its 46 days but the news is not bad.
