busy busy busy...

Well we finally finished VBS at church this past week, got moved into our new house this week and tomorrow we leave for church camp for 6 days! We get home Friday and then Jonathan has a birthday party in Abilene on Saturday, then come back home and have another one on Sunday (his actual birthday) and then register Jonathan for school on Monday, Tuesday we get to wash clothes and pack again because me, Jonathan and Christopher are flying to Colorado on Wednesday! Jeremy and Michael are driving up on Thursday morning. Jeremys brother and fiance are getting married Saturday then we head back home on Sunday! I can not wait until July 20th, I might just hire a sitter and sleep all day! :)

I am sure most of you are wanting an update on the boys :) Michael and Christopher have been having weekly visits with their mom. The first one was sooooo hard for me and I was sick to my stomache all week just thinking about it, I dont know why?!, they did fine! Michael was very upset when he had to go back to the visiting room but he got over that pretty quick when he saw the toys. Christopher is just to young to understand. They have had visits the last 3 weeks, which their mom has not showed up for all of them. Jonathan has had one visit with his mom, and it went ok, he has alot of anger built up inside him and I am hoping we can work on that and teach him how to express it the right way and not in the forms of tantrums or acting out. I am sure this will come better with time. For the most part I just love them every chance I get. We are leaving them for a week while we are at church camp and I am very nervous about how they will react but I hope they will be ok and I hope they know we are "coming back". I was explaining to Jonathan that mommy and daddy are leaving for a week and he replied "Mommy, are you gonna come back?" It was a sad moment but a rewarding one at the same time, yes I am coming back and no I am not going to let you down! I love being a foster parent and wouldn't trade it for the world.

Thats about all for now and I wont be updating until the end of the month probably.. we are going to be busy busy busy!

July 4th

We barely made it to the parade this morning. A tree fell on a transformer and blew all the electricity for our whole block for 3 hours this morning, but needless to say we made it! The boys had a blast after they figured out why people were driving by throwing candy on them. I cant help but to brag..they are sooo cute! :) Jonathan and Michael
Christopher and Mommy


Texas Rangers

Here are a few pictures from the boys first Texas Rangers Baseball game. They had so much fun but was a little disappointed because they didnt get to catch a ball. It was 107 degrees outside, so a nice security gaurd let us go to the private party area so the boys could be in the shade and have some room to run around! Michael
