Starting the Foster Parenting Process

Matt and I are feeling strongly led by the Holy Spirit to become foster parents. There was a stirring inside us both as we researched the situation right here in our own community regarding the need for good foster homes for children. We have done the paperwork and fingerprints, and attended an orientation last week. We're waiting for approval to sign up for the training. When we finish training it should be about 60 days until we get licensed! We are excited to start this incredible journey and hope to impact many young ones lives' w/the Love of Christ!

Wayyy to Long!!!

So many blogs seem to go this way.. you mean well as you hope to post regularly, but life happens and you forget. :) I can't believe that it has been a year since my last post. How fair is it that I want to post an update on Nevaeh since she just had her 7th birthday, but didn't post on Elias and Livia for their's in December.. haha! So I guess I could back up and recap our school-year.

Nevaeh is in public school for the first time this year. She LOVES her teacher Mrs. Syberg (and so does Elias--see left). Nevaeh is reading and writing and learning addition and subtraction. We are soo proud of her.

Elias and Livia both go to Discovery Days and LOVE it!! Livia just goes one morning a week and Elias goes 2 x's/wk. For Halloween the kids had a great time going through our dress up clothes 2 different times that we went trick or treating. Here's some pics:

In early December we took the kids to Disney on Ice. It was a great way to distract them from the real thing...as going to Disney World was not an option this year!:)
