Who are all these Children You Say?

Who are these children you say? Is anyone still confused?

 

This was us at the end of last year

Count them,we had six sweeties.

Then in June we got our first call for a Foster Child and brought this four pound bundle of joy home from the hospital.

Add one Sweetie

Two months later he had more than doubled his weight and went to live with his grandparents

but wait you say there are two MORE sweeties in this picture

These brothers at six and five years old came to stay with Thomas and Natalilie as their first Foster Care placement only one day after we got ours.

They are still with us but their parents are working on making a home for them.They were tickled to find stockings with their names at our house.

A couple of days before our first baby went home we got a call for this little guy. He was only with us for two weeks before he went to stay with his Aunt and Uncle

Our two redheaded Sweeties, Ella 7 who was diagnosed with Mitochodrial Disease this year and Sami 3, have been sisters to "the boys". They act like they have always known each other and seem to really prefer sharing their room.

WYATT will be four on Dec 23rd

Charlie and Michele's two.

Piper has turned into a Mother Hen

PIPER turned two in October

LILY was two in June

Jennifer and Shawn's two have been with us most of the year while Shawn has been deployed.

 Jack was four in March and diagnosed with ADHD a couple of months ago. We sure are going to miss this bundle of loving energy when they leave us in January.

We were without a baby for a couple of weeks when we got another call. We would be bringing home another one from the hospital but no baby this time. This time it was for a four year old insulin dependent diabetic. After spending four days with him in the hospital learning how to treat his disease he came home with us. He has been with us for over two months now.

and there you have it

Life is good!

Squirt is Going Home

 After more than two and a half months it looks like our Squirt will be leaving us to go and live with his grandparents. It is so hard to say good bye but we know we have given him a good start. We brought him to our home at 3 pounds 14 ounces, barely taking in an ounce of fomula every couple of hours still going through withdrawal. He leaves us now at just over 10 pounds, eating 4 ounces every 4-6 hours and SMILING!

We did get a phone call today that may help ease the hole left behind.

It looks like there's a new little boy that may be coming to us

 very soon.
