Let me tell you about our crew... Momma L- I dig pretty shoes- that are comfy. And coffee, I love coffee. Big Daddy- He is gonna cringe if he sees this, lol. I also dig that. He loves playing basketball with the kiddos. JD- He is 14. He is sarcastic. He is a freshman in HS. He is a regular teen. Annoyingdotcom. I heart that. HN- 9 yr old math wiz and future rap star. Well at least that is how he sees himself. He currently is enjoying beatboxing, reading, and anything techy. Little Miss- 8 years old, loves my little ponies and her critters. She loves all things pretty. HW- 7 years old and if it has to do with construction,garbage trucks, or wild life...he's there! He is my little funny man. Baby O- 4 years old and fancies herself fancy. She enjoys all things dolly, tea party, or shopping related.

Crazy times, just plain crazy...

How. Can I break this town simply...oh I know, a timeline list kinda dealy....enjoy. And ya I realize that isn't a real thing, it's been a loooong day.

June 27-july2 fun at beach
July 2-12th on a whim brought home teenage cousins for fun times, was a crazy week and a half, but fun. Mom was also here too:) oh also training during this time and several weeks prior for taking over office for MIL when she is on vacation.
July 15-19 working for mil whie family in town
July 29-2 working for MIL while they are out of town.

Needless to say in the midst of all of this there have been meltdowns by children and momma. Working for my MIL means staying at her casa and taking care of the family business office. It is handy to be able to stay here, but hard because at the end of a long  month the kids are getting feisty. Having to run to a quiet place saying the phone is ringing please be quite, is not an ideal workplace. Lol.
I would for sure do this for her anytime she is in a pinch, but I already to get back to my normal life. And whie I know normal life will nw include more kids from time to time, I'm down with that. We have made it through the first one, and the first no. And the second. That is right we have actually said no twice now. Just didn't seem like a god fit, and I did have a peace about going for it. Even if one was just for a weekend,
 I am excited to see what God has in store for us in the future.


Prayer request: patience for the rest of the week!
More importantly a young gal was injured in our town serving at a kids camp at our church. I know God hears our prayers so let's shout it out for her. She is severely injured. To find out about more ways to help please see a fb page called prayingforcassidy. Cassidy almquist is her name.
Also pray for the one involved in the accident this individual is obviously devastated. It is unfortunate for all involved and this persons life will never be the same either.

And just like that...



 
 
Just as quick as Baby T came in, he was gone again. While we were of course sad to see him go, we were happy for him too. Happy his Mommy was well enough to have him, and happy for him to get to be with her and have this chance.
My husband and I did not realize just how fast everything would happen. One moment I am at Lil Miss' birthday party, whooping it up, the next I am finding out I need to have all of his stuff packed by the next morning.
I hope I have made a good enough connection with this family that we will get to see how he is doing in the future, but I do know that this was a special case and not all cases and kids will be like this. Not all families will we get to meet so openly.
Baby T, we are praying for you guys.
