Our family went to church service this morning after missing the last 3 weeks for being sick. It happened that a diffrent member was sick on a weekly basis.

We also have small groups on Sunday evening and we were all excited about going and I found out today at church that it is canceled this week. We really missed small groups but also feel relieve that our Sunday is more simple today and we can just spend the evening at home.

Tomorrow it a brand new week and I am looking forward to some Christmas decorating with the

family.

The last two days have gone by fast and now it is time for some holiday decorating. The last two days have been nice just vegging out with the family and still have tomorrow as well.

On Monday we will put our tree up and I can’t wait.

On My ToDo List

Well at least I did 3 of the 5 listed.

Sweep Kitchen
Sweep Foyer
Mop Kitchen
Clean Refrigerator Shelves
Do at least one load laundry

This is just a partial list, no sense in over whelming myself right off the start. I am a bit late getting going it’s already 1:30 PM here. On the plus side if I stay home all day I won’t be out and about spending any money on things I probably don’t need, at least that is one way I look at it. Plus it is so darn hot outside lil L and I don’t want to go outside anyways. (hmm making good use of our fans too, since running the a/c will up our electric bill).

Wish my kitchen looked this good, and since I can put a pic of my own kitchen here’s (its a mess right now) my make believe clean and orderly kitchen.

Long Weekend Preparing For Our Foster Kids

06/29/2010 by Sandra 2 Comments

My husband and I spent the all weekend and Monday putting the final touches to our home. We got the long awaited call last Thursday that two boys ages 4 and 7 would be place in our home. See we are new foster parents and our family knows that this will not always be an easy road but we are so excited to be able to have another child bless us.

But it didn’t happen, at least not yet for as we learned the process is full of twists and turns. I am thankful I had my feet on the ground and didn’t go along with my husbands idea of going out to purchase items for our two precious boys. We might have spent all that time and money buying and now we still don’t have the kids here.

My suggestion was to wait till they were in our home and then get things for them they may need. My dear husband was so excited he wanted to go out and get all sorts of items he imagined the children would feel comfortable with. His heart was in the right place, but it wasn’t the practical thing to do. Poor fella he was a bit disappointed to hear that the kids were not ready to be place just yet.

So now as new foster parents in the system, we wait for our one or two blessings to arrive so that we can pour all our love and attention on them.
