I HEART WHEN TEENS MOVE OUT!

Bubba moved out the night of graduation. His mother demanded it; we think because she didn’t want to risk paying any more child support. The house has been quite a bit calmer with his departure. And then a week later our 12-year-old foster girl moved out. Now our family is down to us with 2 kids under 2 years old. You may not believe it, but our home is quiet-er!

Here’s a photo I shot of Bubba the first day I got my new camera – having no idea what settings or buttons to use. This is a straight out of camera shot that was only cropped. Not bad, huh?

I entered this photo of Bubba in this week’s I Heart Faces photography challenge “Celebrating Teens.”

I HEART MY FOSTER BABIES!!!

Tomorrow is the big day!  Tuesday, May 25th is when we go back to court to see if we will keep our Lil Bit, or if he will be placed with a great aunt.  I am not optimistic. CPS wants him with family – the baby’s ad litem attorney wants him with family – the baby’s Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) wants him with family.  However, the birthmother does NOT want him with family. You can read the drama details of the last hearing on this post.

If the judge rules for Lil Bit to go, my husband & I can use this reprieve to reconnect & regroup for our next placement.

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God” – Romans 8:28

And for the IHeartFaces yellow challenge this week, here is a picture of our very first foster baby that was placed with us – now, this picture is 2 years later & he is now adopted.  He is such a Stinker!

Y’all have a great week enjoying your loved ones!
Hugs!

I HEART TEXAS BLUEBONNETS!!!

I love the bluebonnets in the spring here in Texas!
Two years ago, we were blessed with a beautiful 8-month-old baby boy placed in our home for foster care.
Last summer, we finalized his adoption and became his forever family.

Here is his picture in the bluebonnets I took recently…

I entered this picture in this week’s iheartfaces photography challenge for the theme “flowers”.

I took his first picture in the bluebonnets 2 years ago, when he was barely 9 months old,
not long after he came into our home.

I love this little boy!
You can read the story of his foster-adoption on this post!
Thanks for visiting!!!

Y’all have a great week!
