Happy Birthday Darrell!! We will have to celebrate another day. We have baseball all day today. We love you.

Back from the Beach

We are back from vacation!! Here's the view from our Beach House. This was the first time our kids have been to the beach. They loved it. They love spending time w/ their cousins, aunts and uncles and Grandma and Grandpa too. We had a big 3 story house about a block from the beach. We had it filled with 20 people!!! Now we are back and anxiously waiting for our first foster child.

Good News!!

I just got an email from our Foster Care Coodinator. We've been approved for Foster Care and our license is on it's way!!! Praise God!! We're looking forward to our first placement.

The Twins

Here are a few pics of my sister's twins, Joshua and Julia. They are both home now and doing great. Thanks for all the prayers.

My sister had her babies. Both are healthy, but very small. They have to be fed by a feeding tube, but they are breathing on their own. She had to have a c-section because the little girl was breach. All are doing well. PRAISE GOD!! Please continue to pray for them, they will have to be in the hospital for a while.

Karate

Mason & Darrell participated in a Karate tournament back in March. Mason got 3rd place in sparring and Darrell got 2nd place in his division. They were both very happy. Everyone in their Karate class received a trophy or two!!! Great job guys.

Hi everyone. I really wish I had the time to sit down and post a blog worth reading more often. Lately, at the end of the day, I'm more interested in reading other blogs than making my brain think about something to post on mine.

We're staying busy!!! We had to let two of the four people go in my department at work, so it's been very stressful there. Not to mention we are still in the homestudy process and still trying to sell our house.

We had an offer (Praise GOD), but we have to wait for our buyer to sell her house before we can close on ours. We have been meeting with our builder in order to have things ready to roll once it's possible to close.

We had a great blessing. Our daughter, Madisyn, was baptized today. It was a great service. Twenty five people were baptized. We are very proud of her.

My sister went into preterm labor a few days ago. She's pregnant w/ twins and isn't due until the beginning of June. Thank you GOD that they were able to stop it. She will probably be on bed rest now until she has the babies. Please pray her and the babies.

I hope to post a few updated pics soon.

Blessings,
Angel
