Well she showed up and all went ok I guess. Christopher had a bottle and wasnt supposed to (dr. orders). Michael screamed and cried and kicked and cried and screamed and kicked when they came ang got him from the waiting room. I guess they did ok during the visit. Some lady told me hes been crying the whole time, talking about Christopher. :( The CW did have to go pick her up and she was in her pajama's so I think she probably was planning on coming and CW knocked on the door and surprise she came. I kind of wish they wouldnt do that and they would actually make the parent work to get her kids back. I would have woke up at 4 am and started walking if I didnt have a way to get there, but I wouldnt be in the situation period so I guess I will never be in that position.
Jonathans CW called this morning to tell me her visit was cancelled. I dont see her coming around anytime soon, but we will see.
I pray that God's will be done in both situations and all situations that we will come to in the foster care system. When we move to a bigger house we will be available to take 2 more children and we are contemplating, and praying what we will do. I know if a child needs a home and I can provide for them then I am sure we will not turn them away. Thanks for all the prayers today! :)

Tomorrow, Friday June 18th
Tomorrow is a big day in the Kirk household.
Michael and Christopher have a supervised visit with their biological mom tomorrow morning at 8:00 am. This is the first attempt she has made to see them in 3 months. Please pray for security for the boys, we will be having our repite worker, that is very close to the boys take them to the visit. Please pray for peace and understanding. Christopher wont have a clue what is going on but Michael I am afraid will be very confused at the whole situation. I am nervous for him. I am nervous for both of them. The bio mom has not seen Christopher since he was 3 months old, she does not and will not know what his cries mean, when hes tired, hungry, or what he wants. I am thankful they are supervised and I will be waiting in my car right around the corner! The boys CASA worker is also coming tomorrow afternoon. She is the court appointed advocate for the children, whatever she says goes as far as permancy for the kiddos!
Jonathan will also be having a visit with his biological mom tomorrow at 2 pm. It is right in the middle of his nap time so I am praying that he is not to wild at his visit. It is also supervised and I will not be there. I hope that he understands. This will be the third no call no show if she doesnt show up tomorrow.
Please pray for security, peace, understanding, and the will to follow through with everything related to foster care.
I know this is our first visit and I hope its the hardest! Thank you in advance for your prayers, and I will update tomorrow evening and let everyone know how they went. :)

Kids say the darnest things!
Well I need to update for all of you who follow and wanted to enlighten you on some of the things my kids say! :)
Well none of the boys have had visits yet and its bitter sweet really. I think its sad for them and their parents that they dont get to see each other, but at the same time I think its great because they are not having to go through the confusing visits and everything that goes on with all the transition back and forth. They are all doing really good, they are really really enjoying the new church and mommy staying at home and so am I. I love being at home with them and being able to spend all day with them. We are moving to a bigger house at the end of the month, we sign the new lease tomorrow. I will post pictures as sooooon as we move in! Its alot bigger with an extra bedroom and bathroom. Now for the funny things that my boys have said over the last few days..
Michael:
-Daddy, I want a nack NOW! (Jeremy: What do you say?) Daddy, I want a nack NOW please!
-yawyeepop yawyepop o yawyee yawyeepop boom boom boom yawyeepop! (tune to the Dell commercial)
-What a might ponge bob pants we serve, what a mighty ...... (What a might God we serve)
-I wea I wea I wea bobo pants. (Dockers underwear commercial, I wear I wear I wear no pants)
-I need to eat!
-TOP IT! (stop it)
-I need to go poop! (after he already pooped)
Jonathan:
-Daddy, not want to hear about it Michael! (as Michael was coming to tattle on Jonathan for who knows what!)
-I want balloons for my birthday!
-Is that lady sad mommy? (Me: I dont know) I bet her husband left her mommy! :(
-(Me: Jonathan, who gave you that toy?) That fat lady over there! --oh my was I embarrased!
-Why hims crying mommy? (talking about Christopher)
-The baby has applesauce on his tummy mommy. (spit up everywhere!)
Christopher:
He can roll over now!! Were so proud of him! :)
Thats about all for now, hope you enjoy the pictures on the previous blog.

its been awhile...
Just thought I would update everyone on life, its been awhile since I updated on here. We just got a new house and we will be moving the middle of July. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath and almost double in sq foot so there is much much more room, which I am thrilled about.
I put my resignation in at the nursing home I was working at and my last day there will be June 15th. I get to stay home with the boys! :)
Jeremy was offered a new position at a church here in Stephenville and we accepted the position and couldnt be happier. The boys have an actual nursery with more than themselves in it and I am not in there taking care of them. I had stopped going to church because it was pointless to get the boys up and dressed to go to church to sit in the nursery with them, I can do that in their bedroom! So Jeremy has an office now, the boys have a nursery and I get to go to sunday school and church. The church is also 4 miles from our house instead of 25 miles!
The boys are doing great and getting along so well. They all have adjusted so good and we love them so much. They are so funny and fun to be around. I cant wait till I get to stay at home with them everyday!
My sister is here visiting this week and we went to Splashville yesterday and took them swimming for the first time and it was a blast, they loved the water.
The boys are enrolled for Head Start stating in August and I was officially accepted to Tarleton and will start in August. I have 3 semesters left and thought I might as well do it now! Better sooner than later, right?! Jeremy will graduate May 14, 2011 and myself the following December, hopefully! I have class from 8-noon and the boys will be in Head Start from 7:30 to 1:30 so that gives me a little study time each day.
Thats about all the news for now and maybe I have caught everyone up. I will post new pics soon, I know thats what everyone wants to see! hehe! Time to start lunch...
