more research

So we are still researching the option of either adopting through the Foster Care System or being actual Foster Care Parents!

We are planning on attending an informational meeting in June to decide if this is the path we want to take or hold off and wait around for Haiti to straighten things up. Financially speaking the Foster Care options are much more up our alley. Adopting is really expensive and when there is such a great need for loving families right here in our own backyard it’s hard to keep pursuing another country.

I really think we will end up being Foster Parents towards the end of the Summer, as long as we qualify :0). I have a friend who use to work for Dare Family Services and Mentor who is answering my question and giving well needed information and advise, thanks Alison!!

Like I said we still have some learning to do to make the right decision that is best for our family and we are getting there :0).

so nice

It is so nice outside! We made our way over to a friend’s house for a playgroup outside in the wonderful sunshine. The kids had a blast playing the water table and on the swing set. Preston can not wait to get our swing set. I am so dreading that day. Having to take it apart and put it back together, not fun. I might look into having someone do it for us but paying the money for that isn’t fun either, so we’ll see!

I think it was like 75 on the way to taking Preston to school, maybe we’ll end up opening the pool sooner then later. He can’t wait for that either!!! But our focus right now is getting the backyard all cleaned up and ready for the swing set. Though we may have a free weekend, Mother’s Day weekend and open the pool then. Who knows! Oh and then for Memorial Day weekend, we usually go camping but this year we are tiling our Kitchen, Entryway and Downstairs Bathroom floors. It’s gonna looks SO good!! It’s gonna be some work but well worth it!
