we are still here

life is a little busy sometimes.  and sometimes blogs don't get any attention.  but other things do.  we've been giving our attention to other things besides blogs.  please forgive :) 

since we've been gone from the blog...

- bebe turned 2 in july
- we began doing foster care
- first we started by doing respite on the weekends
- mimi started kindergarten
- then we got our first foster care placement
- we registered our foster daughter in high school
- we purchased and moved into our first home at the end of september
- our first foster child was with us from the end of august to almost the end of october
- we thought she would be with us longer, but she wasn't

- we are taking a break from new placements until after christmas
- we are getting settled in our new home

here's some pictures!!!

 family picture after church- didn't bring the pug to church, but i think beard came back to get us after he took desi home.

 desi loves fishing.  we tried to take her a couple times despite the fact that we are not accustomed to fishing.  mimi and bebe loved it so maybe we'll take it up more seriously next summer.

 desi decided to style our hair one evening.  it was good times.

 mimi and desi were trying to catch a cricket.  they'd almost gotten it in their hands when bebe stood up, walked over to that bug and smashed it with her foot.  she was very proud and declared "i mash bug!"

 i got to hold a baby goat! the kids like petting it but there are no pictures of them doing it, so here i am :)

 look at that goat!!!

 goats are fascinating...


well, there you have it!  some pictures and an update.  what more could anyone want from us?!

we will try to be much more consistent with the blog.  my goal will be every sunday evening whenever possible. 

thanks for reading!
