Where are we now...

Well we still have our same two little boys that we absolutely adore and love. Bear is now about to be 10 months old. We have finally hit the double digits. And "Moe" will be 5 months old in a couple days. We have been informed that Moe will be leaving us to live with relatives shortly. We are not sure when but my heart aches. It is mothering a baby that trusts only you and depends on only you and giving him over to the arms of a stranger; people he doesn't even know. He gets scared when he can't see us for a long time; He stares at us familiarizing us as his parents; He gives us those looks that only parents get. It's like we are being punished and for what? Unconditionally loving a child that NEEDS YOU when nobody else could or felt like it.
We are praying that God would give everyone involved the wisdom needed to do the RIGHT and JUST thing. We would love to keep them both permanently but if HIS plans are different (hmmm imagine that; sometimes they are Ü) then we want what God says is best for him.
Bear is the only brother he's ever known and they are bonded like no other. Seeing those two together melts a mother's heart. I love watching them interact. Well more like Bear crawling all over Moe. But as long as Moe is laughing we have no reservations to boys being boys no matter how young. They love this time together.
I have seen a couple of blogs that show different shots of their foster children in ways that still protect their identity and I am totally inspired. So I am going to attempt this and if any of my Caseworkers see this and think this is still inappropriate please let me know. But I want people to see this side of our family too and I am trying my hardest to keep these cuties all to myself.
Thank you all for your love and support through our journey. We have felt your prayers and know that God is at work daily in us. WE love you all!!!!

Here are some recent pictures of our boys! Well what you can make of it anyway. Most of you know them personally and get the reward of seeing them in person and knowing their sweet personalities. Lucky yous.

Blogger Challenged

I am totally terrible at this blog thing. I am not a computer person and it frustrates me to be on this thing so much. I am a doer... Get'er done... So I cannot sit still for very long. Some call that ADD I am sure but whatever Ü. Nothing goes undone on my watch. Okay so maybe it does but very seldom and it usually happens when I HAVE SAT DOWN AT THE COMPUTER.
But because I have been hounded to update my blog and to check out some other blogs (not my norm either) about some foster situations I have been inspired to update you all on our journey. I apologize to all of you that keep checking in on me and I have let you down time and time again. I will try and do better at this. PROMISE!!!! Well I am human and will probably break that promise. But bear with me please.
I think this would be easier also if SOMEONE helped me create a fun page instead of this ugly thing that's going on here. I am creative but not when I don't know how to do it. Again I am a doer all my work is original and done by hand not graphics. I am a blog challenged person in need of tutorials Ü.
