Three's a crowd!

I always hate when the holidays are over. Everyone goes home, the decorations get taken down, no more baked goods everywhere you go. Sigh, our Christmas was great though. Tim's parents were here which was fun. I was able to get my house mostly decorated and my mother-in-law was somewhat impressed. I was so tickled by Dustin opening his presents. He opened one toy and then wanted to play with it till he got tired and wanted to open another one. It was cute, but it took forever for him to open all of his presents. Christopher had fun too. Although he mostly liked playing in all the wrapping paper and trying to play with whatever Dustin had at the time. Christopher is still with us but will be leaving either this week or next. The sadness has been somewhat eased by another addition to our household. We just got a 4-month old baby girl who is so incredibly good! She fits in so great. It's like she's always been here. So right now we have a 4-month old, a 12-month old, and a 21-month old! Having 3 babies is fun except when I have to go somewhere! Then things get a little tricky. I was so surprised at how good the boys are with her. Especially Dustin. He always kisses and hugs her and makes her smile. It still is going to be super hard when Chris leaves, but at least there won't be an empty room anymore. I'm hoping both Dustin and Christopher adjust well and things go smoothly. The new family that Christopher will be living with seems really nice and they are being really understanding about our situation. Anyway, anytime any of you gals are bored, please give me a call or stop by because I'm starting to get a little stir crazy now that I don't leave the house unless I have to! I would love to post some pics of Christmas and all the babies, except that I somehow misplaced our camera over the holidays and still haven't been able to find it. So hopefully it will turn up or I'll have to buy Tim a late Christmas present!

Hey Jen!

Your comment was so funny! Any luck finding your camera? I hope we can get together again soon. I would love to go out to dinner and then see your new place!

I finally have internet again! I will have to e-mail you some of the pictures of Dustin from my birthday! I'll put up some pictures soon of the new house...it's almost complete!

3 babies! That's nuts. So how did you guys decide that doing foster care is right for your family? I think about doing it all the time, but I'm not sure if I have enough energy and I don't want it to be hard on my kids.

Y'know, I would not have done foster care if I hadn't have felt the spirit so strongly telling me to do so. I think you just really have to pray about it and trust whatever answer you get. You really don't know what it's going to be like until you try it. It's a mixture of everything. I hope that helps!

Ok, so I'm a little behind on your comings and goings. You have a new little girl in the house, you still have Christopher but not much longer, and you've moved?? Maybe you could fill a girl in. I hope things are going well...and you get out of the house sometime. :)

Thanks, I've really tried making this place a "home" instead of a crappy apartment. Work is crazy! Right now there are 4 attorney's and 1 assistant! The poor thing doesn't even have time to train me. But it's good. It's really fast paced. But it's fun. Everyone in the office has spunky personalities, so I fit in pretty well. WE MISS YOU! Hopefully we see you this weekend. Have you decided about Utah?
