Wilson’s World

We went over to a friend’s house today for a Spring Party playgroup… half the Mom’s group was there :0).

Everyone had a great time. The kids ran around crazy, having fun on the swing set, in the sand box and sprinkler. We had awsome yummy snacks and I even made a Pasta Salad to take… go me :0)!

It was nice to see some of the Moms I don’t see very often and some that just had babies including one Mom who has twins and just had another set of twins…. crazy! I hand it to her man!! She has 4 boys all under 3! Can you imagine?!?!?! I can’t! She handles it great but I’m sure she has her days, as we all do :0).

After that we headed over to Target and the mall(same place) to pick up a gift for someone. I totally forgot I haven’t taken Kyla to the mall in ages! She was just captivated by all the sites and sounds!! Pointing and announcing everything with amazement, it was really cute!

We then returned home and Preston for some reason decided to get into the trailer and get his kite out… we’ve never flown it! But he wanted to fly it today. It was windy but not that windy and after an hour of untangling it(I have no idea how he tangled it up so well) we did try a few times but it didn’t fly, another day.

So after much discussion and questions to Alison we have decided to enter the world of Foster Care!

I talked to somebody at Dare Family Services today and they did the preliminary screening over the phone to make sure we qualify and then will pass our information on to the next person who will either contact me for more questions or just send out the application.

It’s exciting and nerve racking all at the same time. One, it’s exciting to get the process started and have another child join our family and get to experience what *family* is about. Though on the other hand, the “surprise” of what type of situation the child comes from is a little nerve racking! We will have the opportunity to preview information about the child before we accept them into our home and Dare seems to have a great support system in place consisting of weekly visits and meetings and also monthly trainings.

It’s just an awesome feeling knowing that we can help kids understand what *family* is…. that it’s a fun safe place!

I look forward to our trainings and learning many new things.
