Going camping!!!!

All week it has been camp central here! Getting ready is crazy town! Finally finally finally the day is almost here. I am so ready to go, relax, and rest with my family. 

And then there were six... Again

In the past two weeks we have had a baby come in, then go back home, now we have another kiddo in. So yes, we are back at 6 kids again. Mr. D is sweet, teething and adorable. I don't know how long he will be here, but we will love him for as long as that is...

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.

Spring Break

This week we got 5 ducks to add to our family. That's right. Winged beasts as Dorthy says. We also did some house work, playdates, gardening, sleepovers, good times! Now here we are. At the end of break and about to head back to school and get ready for the Jr High retreat.


There are many things coming up over the next several weeks, but first and foremost is HN's bday! And he has chosen to have a special day with just Mom and Dad. I must say I am super excited about this. So on that note, I am outta here folks. I am so tired and gonna fall asleep.

Day two

Day two has been a blast, however is girls are sick, with a crummy cold. 

Dorothy, I see you visiting in here, heeeeeyyyyyyy!!!!!! Miss you!!

Great wolf lodge.

First day here, awesome. Ride over, long of course. But the kids were just in wonderment arriving. Olive, with her occasional stutter, said " I can't, I can't, I can't wait until we get to the great wolf lodge! It will be amazing!"
