1 year ago

1 year ago today we took in our first and only foster care placement. (I just miss those kids so much!) But I feel like my life has been so crazy since then. 5 months fostering...then finishing pregnancy....then the chaotic summer with a newborn. Today I feel I can finally relax and embrace some normalcy. Might not last very long....but I’ll take it!! Eve turns 3 months tomorrow. I would have never imagined that 1 year ago as I was loving on those 2 sweet kiddos that in 1 year I'd have a 3 month old of our own! I feel so blessed...all the time!! Please pray for my foster kiddos!!

Everett--speech

1st day back at speech!! Speech teacher was impressed that he's saying 4 and 5 words in a row!! He has improved so much. One night at dinner he says, "Oh this is delicious!" Where did that word come from?? He's doing good and we are so proud of him!!!

Dear Eve Week 13

Dear Eve,

The kids started school today!! It's been such a crazy summer...but hopefully we'll approach some normalcy at home now! We were busy with the big kids this past week....haircuts...meet the teacher. We had some good friends that came over to meet you too! You are still sleeping through the night pretty good. You roll over all the time! But you get so mad because you get stuck and can't roll back over! You are kind of giggling. It's half a laugh...I'm waiting for your fun belly laugh to come out! Right after I feed you, you are so happy!! You are always smiling...and like to chat with me. And I just love it!! That is when I take your weekly pictures...and that's why we get such good pictures of you!! We love you so much Eve!!
