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.

Studying and life in the foster battleground


Every day is a new day. That is what I say to myself some nights. Some days are crazy. Some days are great. Some days I feel hard on myself, sometimes I feel like I'm super awesome. But what is amazing about God is that every day is a new day. I don't have to be super amazing. HE is.  I just need to be willing to follow Him. And I feel like I am at that point in my life. I feel as though i don't need to question and analyze every little thing. I can say yes. No, that is not a lead in to anything, just a relief:-)
So a little updates....
Me- studying like craZy for my HQ, please pray I pass. I know, this sounds silly. But I have super horrible test anxiety, plus my epilepsy meds make focusing hard. I'm seriously not making excuses, just being honest about problems. It stinks.
The Hubs- major busy with work and coaching. We live and breathe baseball this time of year. Live and breathe it! This is our third year. He loves it and is great at it:-) he and he work partner and a friend coach together. They make a great crew!
JD- he is cozy here. And is becoming affectionate! Like we are actually getting hugs💙💙 if you know anything about FC and anything about teens. Well.
Amazing. I do think his grades are suffering a bit due to the stress of the case, etc. He is SO smart! I know he is going to do great.
HN- Baseball and books. That is his life. It is the first week of May and he is already part way to his reading goal. I love his love of reading. 
Seri- her reading has taken off this year. There are things I am concerned about related to FASD, but one day at a time. The past month her and Liv have just been really sweet together and it has been a blessing to me.
HW- baseball, Pokemon, kickball. This kid loves being outdoors. And I have been noticing a knack for math.
Liv- she has been in the frozen world. Dancing, singing, I love it.
