Andrew has been attending basketball camp this week. Tomorrow is the last day & all of the kids will get a trophy. He is way excited about that. I will make sure to get a pic of him with his trophy & will post that tomorrow.
Nothing much new this week. Just the usual stuff.
It's funny....sinking into a routine where things are just "usual stuff". I guess it's hard to believe that we're finally reaching that point. We're about 2 weeks away from hitting the 4 month mark since A&K moved in. It's so odd, because it seems like it's been much longer. In so many ways, I feel so close to the kids. As if they were mine since birth...as if I never had a time when I really didn't know them much at all. I mean, we saw them at family reunions, Christmas & Thanksgiving sort of things, but never really KNEW them until they walked through our doorway in February.
I feel so honored, so blessed that they're here. I've been thinking though. I don't know how foster parents do this. The work, the time, the training, the investment that they make into children who they dearly love....but ones who will pass into & out of their home in rapid time....wow.....how on earth do you do it? I thought I could handle it, but let me tell ya....this is hard. When you're giving every ounce of your being to a little person who you see progressing & growing & changing.....how do you give them up & send them back into the foster system? Or worse...back to a home that you know isn't safe or stable?
God bless the foster parents of this world!

Liz,
Are you and Larry adopting these children, or will they someday go back to their Dad?
