The past few months have simply flown by. Can you believe there are less than 60 days until Christmas?? The past few months have brought several changes: In April, our foster teen moved to her permanent home. Three days later we had 2 siblings placed with us. A 21 month old boy and a 4 month old girl. Our little boy turned 2 in July. Little girly will be 1 in December. They are getting so very big and developing well. Matt has a few attachment issues that we are currently working on and probably will be for awhile. Mary is very mellow w/ a joyful personality. At this point we will have them indefinitely. I'd like to say it's a 50/50 chance the parents will be able to have them back, but reality is probably 80/20 that they won't. Our 20 year old, Tristan moved back home and is now attending WVC-Omak campus. He is taking general business classes and is doing very well. I think he may even be surprising himself! My parents moved to a cute little house in town. A very big move for them. We enjoy having them nearby--though I think they are almost a busy as we are at times! The other "little" change has been serious lack of work for Jeremy. The Lord does provide and did so in an odd, and I feel slightly stressful manner. He will be working at his old company every other week for the next year. Oh, did I mention that the work is 4 hours away?? It is going to be crazy, but at the same time I know deep inside that this is a complete blessing. It will force all involved to stay on our knees. To pray for strength in all things, even the little stuff. This truth was brought forth to me at church on Sunday. ~~ after spending 2 weeks of complaining and pretty much wanting to just cry. Now, today, even though I woke up to a very dead car due to needing a new battery cable; several in our household starting to get sick-all with Jeremy gone and a crazy schedule, I know that He is with me and will get me through it all.
Jack and Trevor are doing great with all these changes. They both absolutely LOVE have their big brother home and do so well with the babies. This is Jack's last week of soccer until spring--he is doing AMAZING!! Awanas has started back up this last month and he is so happy there!
Enjoy the blessings of every day!
