The Construction Begins

John is such a great husband! I had told him that it would be nice to have box shelfs in my laundry room so that all clothes and hanging clothes stayed in there so when we remove them from the dryer, everyone has there own box and we fold and put it there.... Wow this saves so much time. Doing laundry for 8 is a task and this will help so much. I thank God for a great provider. I am truly blessed.

Family Day at the Farm

What an exciting day it was to take the kids to our friends farm and they rode horses and played all kinds of games and just had a great time. We are very thankful for the time we have with the girls and how are hearts wish they would stay.

Update on Girls and there Mother

Corinne as far as we know (what she tells us) is doing fine. She has a Car and Will have a job by the end of the week and has a place to live. She plans on trying to get the kids back but of course DHS is telling me its to late. But with that being said she is planning on taking it to a Jury trial so this could take up to 1year. We are planning on asking her to reconsider because if she dose this then they will move the Girls at the end of October to a new family until rights are terminated or she gets them back. In this case if the family they are with dose not want to adopt then we can. I know many of you are saying "thats too many children so young" But the Lord brought them too us and Yes it is the absolute hardest thing I have ever done but God has shown me He will lift me up and help John and I. Who by the way is the Best husband ever. He gets up before six just to help with the kitchen duty and stays up late to help with whatever I need and the Goes to work... Praise the Lord for a Great Man. So With this all said Yes we want to Keep and adopt them but as the Great Book says.... Man plans his ways but the Lord directs his steps Proverbs 16:9. Keep praying for the Girls to feel safe and secure and we just don't want them passed around people they do not know but we do understand this is not our fault it is her parents choices but if we can Save 3 precious little girls the How can anyone say NO.... Not us.

Walking with Joy

Hope started walking today and it is so cute. We are so happy to share these wonderful moments with them. We do not know how long we get to keep them but just pray that God would lead and direct there little future. We did find out that they kicked there mom (Corinne) out of treatment yesterday so she is on the streets again and we just pray she will do well on her own. She has been clean for over a year now and we want to see her do well. This picture was taken at my home September 10th,2007 on her once a month visit with the girls. Please pray for them.
