On the Road Again!

I am usually wary of new terms and phrases that quickly develop in the ever-changing and fast-paced pop culture... but we are on a "stay-cation"!

We are big time campers and spend many weekends out "in the woods". This weekend, we are at a local hotel that had a family special with a 2-room suite, free high-speed Internet (just right for us web-heads) and free continental breakfast (an amenity I am sure they will change after my 15 year old boy gets done).

The swimming pool calls!

The Ten Commandments

Summer

We are clipping right along. The study of the book of Job has been enjoyable and the children have lots of insight regarding Job's situation. I am surprised and pleased.

Everyone is doing well in their classes and I can see progress all around. We love the more relaxed schedule and sleeping in (except for the fact that my family members are all early risers and call me before 6:30am to ask what we are doing; "Sleeping" I say groggily.)

In everything give Him thanks!

Wow Ya'll!!!

I am so happy and excited. After 2 years of having James in our home as a foster child, he is finally my legal child. I mean, he was a child that moved into my heart from the first minute that I met him. He is sweet, loving and despite all of the abuse he suffered, he is trusting and happy. We are also very happy that we were able to finalize on Jackson who is happy and busy! He is teddy-bear huggable and is learning so much everyday.


I'm still a little shy on showing complete faces...but here are some pics of the great moment.

The after party at Cici's was great fun and let's just say...they are gonna need to order more supplies! LOL Here is my complete crew. One word: Beautiful!

First Days and Add Ons!!

Our first day of summer session went well. The kids "came to the table" enthusiastically and classes went well. I must say again how much I really like the Summer Bridge workbooks.

And now...the BIG NEWS!!!

We got a court date for our adoption to be finalized for James and Jackson. I am so excited, satisfied, teary and mushy in love. We are so blessed to "add on" 2 of the sweetest and loving boys. They are excited too...not so much about going to court, but about the all-you-can-eat-pizza at Cici's that is planned after the hearing. Truly motivated by pizza my boys they are. LOL
