Status Report

We have had the girls in our home for just over a month now.  I have been so much busier than I'm used to, but everything is going well.  So far, the experience has been hugely overwhelming, frustrating, fun and laughter filled.  We've dealt with hitting, screaming, potty training (failed) but also have experienced lots of hugs, laughter and fun.  There was no way to prepare for the change, but after a month it's starting to feel "normal".  The sweet moments are starting to outweigh the tension filled ones.

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us - it's working!  We don't know how long the girls will be in our home - a couple months, one year or forever.  But, we're trying to enjoy each day we have together and impart some lessons into their lives.  That's enough to keep me busy.

My Foster Shower

Adam and his mom threw me the best Foster Shower on July 7th.  We had a huge turn out and it was so great to feel the support of so many friends and family.  Thank you to everyone that came and to all those who sent gifts.  It made us feel so loved and helped prepare our home to take in children in need.

Adam and I pose before everyone arrives.  The cake was delicious!

Adam's Grandmama, Uncle Mark & Aunt Susie traveled all the way from Tampa to be here for us.  We really enjoyed spending the weekend with you guys!

Here I am about to open all the presents - everyone was so generous.  

The kids helped me open some presents.

Ready for potty training.

Adorable bedding that matches the kid's room perfectly.
