Start of another school year

A couple weeks before school started, Allen and I took a 2 month old little boy into foster care. We fell in love with him, then 6 days later, he was placed at a relative's house. Devastated was a good word for our household. School started, and things seemed back to normal. This last Monday we got the call that our foster son needed to be placed again and would we take him back? ABSOLUTELY!! We now have a 3month old in our house. It's a big change, but everyone is happy to have him back. Cael does so well with him and is a big helper! WE'll keep you updated.

Special Delivery

Allen and I have been working with Nebraska Children's Home in hopes of adopting. We still have our fostering license, but kind of forgot about it...until last Friday. We took a 2month old little boy for the weekend as a crisis respite. We find out today if we get to keep him longer. I can't say much more, other than he fits in perfectly with our family (Cael's in love), and would appreciate any and all prayers!

Shape Scavenger Hunt

Gymnastics

Cael's been in gymnastics class for almost 2 months now. He loves it! There are only a few kids in his class, so that makes it nice. If you watch the video, I am taking it from the waiting area outside the classroom, so you can hear one of the other moms talking to her little boy. This is just a tiny snippet of what he gets to do in an hour.

I should have taken a picture sooner, but this is Cael's eye with his mosquito bite. It looked MUCH worse Monday and Tuesday. So much so, that on Monday at gymnastics, another mom asked, "What does the other guy look like?" because it looked like Cael had a black eye. It was so swollen, his eye was starting to close. Luckily, we got some pretty strong cortizone cream and it wasn't infected. Phew! Darn mosquitos!

Summer Solstice

I know, I know. I'm a huge geek, but I can't help doing this twice a year. On June 21 and December 21, you can balance an egg. Really!
