Day 4

Today I still think of the abduction as the search goes on for the missing girl. I baked cookies and took them to the fire station in Dayton, the least I could do. I felt like the whole town of Dayton should be  covered in yellow crime scene tape. The town is crawling with police officers, agents, and news media. I still feel like I am in this fog. It seems more like watching a bad movie. Today I left my television off. Each day there is a little more to the story, more information, more leads. Everytime I hear this new info. My mind goes back to the girls, to the suspect. Questions whirl in my brain, what was the man thinking, why did he take them, what was he planning, where did they go, what did he do with the missing girl, why, why why? I can’t get it out of my brain. I heard that the man kidnapped two little 3 year olds back in 1992 and left them in a dumpster, today one of those girls was searching for Kathlynn.  Today was busy, after baking cookies I mowed, Elaine and Terji came by afterschool . Elaine stayed with the kids while I had to make a run to Boone, get some grocery items, and take meals out to the field in Dayton. In driving back home through Dayton I noticed purple ribbons all over wrapped around trees. Purple was Kathlynn’s favorite color. It made me feel so sad, sad for the family. The thought went through my mind, it could have been Jayden.
Terji and Elaine stayed with the kids. They are such wonderful people, genuinely caring christians. The kids loved their time with them. They ate hot dogs out on the deck, played ball, showed them special photos and drawings. At 9:30 I finally had to make the kids get to bed. Mark has been in the field sun up and plans to go into the wee hours of the night. There is rain in the forecast and we have so much corn yet to plant. I know he is tired but he pushes on.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
