I cannot believe that school is almost over. We are planning school picnics for the last day of school, planning our summer activities, and STILL looking for a job!
The Lord has been good to us! There is no doubt. Through all the ups and downs of unemployment, the Lord has provided. Michael has a definite job interview on Tuesday and we are prayerful!
This weekend, we are starting something new and exciting for our family too. There is a meeting run by Focus on the Family about adoption in Ohio. Most know that we want to adopt. Ok, it was definitely me from the beginning but Michael has absolutely jumped on board. We are hoping to adopt a little girl in the next few years. (I don't want to get my hopes up as to how fast or slow it will be, I am just giving it to the Lord for his perfect timing!)
This Friday, the boys are all going to go and stay the night with my mom. They will have a blast with that! They love their grandma and they love sleep overs at her home! The meeting is Saturday from 1 to 5, so a long time, but I am hoping we will learn a lot. We are open to adopting a sibling set, preferably, I would want them both to be girls. We are going to shift all the rooms around again when this happens. Drew will have Michael's old room, the twins will have our current room, we will go into Drew's room, and the little girl(s) will go into the twins room. We would DEFINITELY move everything well before our daughter would be here so the boys just know they are getting to get new rooms. Complete with painting and decorating! We have to put drop ceilings in two rooms, but I am sure we will be able to get help for that.
I am really praying that the Lord will let this happen. I love my boys, do not get me wrong, but I long for a relationship with a daughter. I think it is good for them to know that other women are someone else's little sister too. It will be good for them to have someone to take care of. Well, I suppose that would only work if she is under 5. We are open to a child as old as Drew or younger. I think Drew would love to have a sister his age. Most of his friends (well my friends with kids Drew's age) are girls. I hope to be able to share our journey into adoption here on this blog too. I am so excited for Saturday! The beginning!!
Here are some cute pictures of the boys!
Drew had Field Day today at school. I normally volunteer on every Thursday so I happen to be at the school. I didn't realize it was an event that parents were allowed to get involved in and called Michael to bring me my camera since I didn't have one with me. I got a lot of great pictures and Drew's friends had a lot of fun taking pictures!! I had two cameras going up and down the line and the kids all taking turns. Drew did three events, the 25 yard dash, the tennis ball throw, and tug of war! He did great! What moved me even more was the support he got from his class! When he was up, his class would yell and scream, "YAY DREW! GO DREW!" When he was done, he was always so happy and proud of himself and his classmates all high fived him or told him great job. It was great to see what nice kids are in his class. We took a lot of group pictures today and I told them when they are seniors in high school, look for these pictures! I'll be sharing them again!
