Baby meets Lizard

This morning Teag was playing in the living room when he went over to the lizard tank. He always loves to watch them play and jump, but this morning Jerry (Or maybe Tom) came to the glass and started jumping up at Teag.

Well this was so exciting to him that he was engrossed in the tank for a long time. Here are a few snap shots I was able to get.

(If you can see through the sand and finger smudged glass)

Happy 13th Birthday Meg!!

I can NOT believe that our little girl is now officially a teenager! It doesn't see possible! We had a family party on Sunday and here a a couple pictures from that.

Meg thought she was funny and asked for Dora plates...I found this balloon instead!

Feel the love...I guess you will only see this in the presence of gifts and sugar!

Meg wanted Cheesecake for her birthday....
Can you read the candle?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Fall Fun

I thought I'd share a couple pictures of the kids and their scarecrows. As you can see the first one was assembled by Jay and Ab...Isn't he...interesting! The second was put together by Julz (with assembly help from mom)-The kids had lots of fun. It didn't rid our yard of leaves (as I had hoped) but it did keep them busy for over an hour! Now you can't complain about that!

Soccer pictures

It's been a bit since I posted any pictures.

Here are a few from Julianna and Abigail's soccer game.

Ab played hard even through the rain~

We were all a little (a lot) wet by the end!

(look close you can see the rain!)

Check out her moves!

We were amazed to find that Julz has a kick like her big sister Meg...
look out for that boot!

As you can see...Julz was Goalie

(doesn't she look cute?...I mean TOUGH!)

You can see other pictures of the kids soccer at http://www.cafotos.com/

There are lots of action shots of Meg playing modified-(she's # 13.) and the formal soccer pictures of Jay, Ab, and Julz.

God's Choice

It seems that once again God has shown us that he is in control of our lives and not us. We went to court this morning expecting to say goodbye to Teag and we left with a chance to have him a bit longer. The judge decided to have him stay in care at least another month. We will go to court again on November 13th .

At this time we do not know what the plan is, but I trust that God will show us in his time. Please keep us in your prayers-they are working!

Saying goodbye

I know that I have spoken with many of you, but time flies quickly and we are almost at the end of our time with Teagan. We are scheduled to go to court on Wednesday the 15Th. Please keep us all in your prayers as this is proving to be a very difficult goodbye.

Pray especially for my children-they are taking this very hard and for Teagan whom is still confused as to why I am not with him all the time.

I know that children are resilient, but it makes my heart ache to see them suffer.

I thank all of you that have been a part of this little one's life!
