Foster care

Just wanted to update everyone on the foster care thing.Allot of people have asked what's going on so here it is....We had a really great recommendation from our liscensing specialist and our paperwork has been at the final board for a week now.They have one month from the time the papers arrive to approve us.We should be getting a call any moment telling us we are liscensed and then we can be called from the moment on for a placement.We are so excited and I spent the morning tying up loose ends on the nursery.It's really hard to be too prepared because we have such a large window of what we are taking.We asked for infant -2 years.We also left it open for sibling groups.(scary)I secretly think Mike wants twins.He keeps mentioning it.Everytime the phone rings I hope it is them.And when I come home I run to phone and see if we have a message(even though they have my cell number) Just keep praying for us.We are excited but it's not final yet!!!!I know God is preparing a special child for us!

Christmas '08

Christmas was so much fun this year!We have had an awesome Holiday break!We spent a crazy Christmas Eve going to our church service and then coming home and watching The Nativity Story before bed.Bith the kids know there is no Santa and to tell ya the truth I am so glad.No hiding everything till morning anymore.They don't seem to worry about it either.Which I think is great because Christ is the real star anyways.Then Christmas morning my granparents came over and we opened presents and had cinnamon rolls and coffee.YUM!Then the fam came over for lunch and it was a great day.The next day my Dad and his family came down for a week.We played board games and went to the beach and made pottery.I'll post pics of everything-I truly enjoyed the whole Holiday but I think my favorite day was fishing at Casey Key with the just the four of us and my grandpa.I just love the water and love being near it!I am looking forward to all that '09 brings!Happy New year!
