3/4 of a Year

This girl has been such a sweet addition to our family for 9 months.  We all adore her, and it seems to be mutual. :)  

The first 8 months sailed by rather uneventfully.  As we approach the one year mark (the point at which the state could move to terminate her parents' rights), things are becoming eventful.  We appreciate your prayers in this season of ups and downs and unknowns.

May the Lord do what is good in His sight.

Around here...

As resource parents we are responsible to keep a Life Book for each child who is placed
with us.  What a treat to get this picture from Mama S of D looking at the book we made him!

Sink bath :)

Eli lost a top tooth!  I can't wait for that other wiggly one to come out - love the
missing teeth look. :)

Foster Parent Hobby

Over the past nine months, we have become skilled at making public records searches for criminal histories and incarceration statuses.  My new hobby is now reflected in the ads Google gives me:

Field Day!

Still playing catch up...

Annnd, one of my jobs is complete. ;-)  Baby loves books!

L and E have completed their math books for the year.
I told them to hug and congratulate each other.  It was so heartfelt!
