Good bye

A few of our favorite pictures:

A Rezean to Love


Ashley went home to her Grandparents this week and we are left to say goodbye. We have so many emotions swirling around, it is hard to categorize all of this grief. But as we sat in a circle and talked with our kids about this experience, we asked them if they would foster again. All of our children responded "YES!" And so we will.

A++



I can tell you maybe three of my favorite xeriscape plant's latin names. I remember very little of Calculus. I have forgotten my English writing tips and really, I never could spell. But if you ask me about my kids, I get an A++ every time.
Grant recently celebrated his birthday and Chris and I went shopping for the occasion. We found our selves in the Lego Isle looking for something he might like. Chris found a set with a video game theme that he thought Grant would like but I pointed out that it was a different brand. He didn't think it would matter but I told him 'Lego Snob' older brother would point it out and then Grant might think it was an inferior gift. Chris assured me it would not be an issue.
I bet him a foot rub on that.
As we were wrapping gifts the next day we showed Jack the gift.
His words were "You know it's not Lego, right?"
Yes, my feet feel fine and if you ask me about kids- I know mine!

P.S. Grant still loved the gift, or more importantly the guy time spent putting it together.
