The Gang

My photo
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.

And then there were 5...

Just as quickly as a child comes in, they can leave again. In the world of hashtags other foster moms and I laugh and say ours is #fostercarelife, and really it is. Whether a child is here for 24 hrs or 24 mo. You have to expect the unexpected. 
Little monkey has moved on, and gets to live with his sisters at a foster friends house. While we loved having him, I imagine he is much happier to be with his big sisters and they are happy to be with him. Most times it is best for siblings to be together. This is one of those times:-)
This week we are getting ready for vacation. We are ALL excited. I am so happy to just spend some relaxing time with my little family. Quite, happy, moments. 
I. Just. Can't. Wait.

We had my parents and brother in town for a few days. It was WONDERFUL to get to see them. Lil bro is contemplating moving back. Not sure where he wants to move. I pray the best for this kid. He has matured a lot, and I can see he is really weighing his decisions out. 
While here I went paintballing with just the boys. First time, I admit, I was nervous. To test my, uh, manlyness I guess, they shot me with an air soft gun first. I think my brother thought I would be crying during paintball. 
I lit them up!
