Hangin' Out in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Well, bloggers, I have been a bit lax in posting lately. We are just hanging out here in Sioux Falls at the Town Place Suites waiting for word on a hearing at which we are hoping to have Wayne named as Nicole's co-guardian. This means that we will no longer have to consult her mother and await her mother's permission or agreement to see Nicole.
We were scheduled to pick up Nicole on Monday at 9:00 at the Family Visitation Center. We were there at 8:45 and waited about 45 minutes and she never showed up with Nicole. We have had several conversations with our attorney and he is talking to the other attorney AND the judge, blah blah blah........you know how that goes.
We did have a very positive meeting with Tom Keller, our attorney this afternoon. He has a good grasp of the situation and we feel confident he will represent us very adequately during the trial. We are on "standby", whenever there is an opening in the court's schedule. According to Tom, we are behind a criminal trial and he seems to think there is a possibility that we will get on the docket late tomorrow (Wed) or Thursday. He also said we should be able to salvage at least part of our visitation with Nicole immediately after the hearing.
So, here we sit in our handicapped accessible suite, waiting to get the call that we have 30 minutes to get to the courthouse!
Of course we are very apprehensive about the possible things that could happen, but at the same time very confident that things will work out for the best.
We were scheduled to leave here on Friday, but this afternoon we extended it to Saturday just in case.
Then, after that, we are on the road again and will keep the postings and pictures coming! We are so pleased to hear from everyone who is reading our blog!
Thanks to all.....
Love
Wayne and Colleen
