Almost 10 years!

Can you believe it will be TEN years on the 17th?! Crazy. It has been an awesome decade. I am so blessed to know that the least of my worries is my husband's love and the stability of my marriage. We are stronger now than we have ever been and beat every statistic. We owe it all to God and a strict policy of total honesty. And Greg is just amazing in every way! I can't wait for the decades to come!

Perils of Christmas

Here is our first Christmas 'incident'. Wyatt came home from preschool today with a sequin stuck deep in his ear. No worries- I got it out. I'm sure there will more to come this season! My brother in law broke his ankle this weekend ice skating and is in surgery. Pray for him! Keep safe this holiday!

Sorry!

I was on my blog today just checking my links and adjusting the layout and noticed that the link to Dori's Photography Site was somehow leading to a very inappropriate website. I checked all the paths and everything looked right but I guess somehow the link got hacked. It seems to be fixed, but please let me know if you notice something similar from my blog again. Please know that neither Dori nor I take x rated photos!

Trying out mobile blogging

I'm blogging from my iPhone! Is there anything this phone can't do? Take video but all I need to do is upgrade...
This photo is from a couple weeks ago but it is what I had on my phone. Now that I can blog on the go things may get more interesting.
I am due in just ten weeks! Wow. The baby is incredibly active. I know, no surprise there. We still need a name. He may have to wait till we meet him to get one.
Looks like we only have a couple more weeks with Jayden. We will be heartbroken when he leaves. We are making the most of our time with him. Pray for him, his family and us. The boys are going to take it hard too.

Blog Intervention

So Greg has started his own blog. He says that the greatest minds in history all had journals and that he has no chance of being great without one. Even though he is starting a little late in life, he hopes he can catch up. So he is blogging every day and sometimes twice! Technology is feeding his new addiction with a nifty little app for the iphone from which he can update his blog from anywhere. It is driving me a little crazy. But now I feel obligated to resume my blogging.

Check out his blog: http://rideonegear.blogspot.com/

We are down one foster child and the other one is spending weekends with his biological parents. My kitchen is clean, floors mopped, garden watered, two homemade lasagnas in the fridge and my laundry nearly done. I'm almost bored!!! I'm only 11 weeks from the new baby so I better find some uses for this extra time.

Hopefully there are still some loyal souls out there that check this blog. Won't they be surprised to see a new post! Sorry I don't have photos. I guess photo taking and posting sould be something I do with my new found time.

Jayden

Surprise! Recently Greg and I have become a licensed foster/adopt home. This past weekend we received a call to take in a newborn baby boy right out of the hospital. We do not know how long he will be a part of our family, but we will love him like our own for as long as we have him. Due to the nature of this forum, I would rather not say much more but phone calls and emails are welcome!

The Two Cutest Boys Ever!

I am just finally getting the hang of giving the boys good haircuts. It took a lot of practice and many funy hairdos, but I think I know what I am doing now. They looked so cute and so grown up after their haircuts last night that I just had to get a pic. Big boy haircuts, no more diapers, giggling at bodily noises- I officially have boys now. Not babies. Sigh. Since I wrote about Noah last time I guess I should write about Wyatt. He is as wild as ever. I know many of you don't beleive me that he is a little spark plug because at the most recent family gathering (after he had been through three days of nonstop Christmas mayhem) he slept in my lap most of them time. So to back me up I will include a picture I took this morning. Being small for his age doesn't seem to stop him from doing anything. Even though he is my wild one, he is also my cuddler. He loves hugging and giving kisses. My mom says he requires lots of 'touch time' throughout the day to keep him under control. In the mornings he usually wakes up screaming and mad, but once I hold him for a few minutes and get food in front of him he is totally transformed. I have not spent as much one on one time teaching him stuff like I did with Noah. But he seems to absorb a lot of what Noah knows and is learning. He can count, say his alphabet, recite some Bible verses and he is a great singer. But he never does any of it on command. Wyatt being Wyatt is constant amusement for us. The boys are in a heated disagreement about something so I better go be ref!
