Welcome to Steemit @celizbrwn,
What a quest to take on the state to grab back family members, Good on you and your Husband for taking that on. It will be hard, but you are both giving them family and love that they wouldn't of had in the state, the little trails will be well worth it, keep talking to the kids and answer all the questions they may have in the future.
Leaving rocks around the city for others to find sounds so exciting, people must feel so blessed to find one to cheer up their day!
So know the chicken feeling, we got on it turnt out to be a rooster that ran around the neighborhood for about 6 months, Our chicken we got afterwards passed away also after getting ill - we've said no more also.
Look forward to your coming blog posts - have clicked followed.
