We finally got a web album up with some pictures from the last part of Steven and Kristi’s visit.  It got really crazy here the last 2 weeks.  We had another foster placement that we were sort of expecting.

The two boys in the picture above, sitting next to Ben are Cameron (left) and Christopher (right).  They are 3 and 4 respectively, so Ben has been really enjoying some boys to pal around with and raise a ruckus.  Ben has had his jealous moments, but he has been a really really good boy about it all.  If I can say one tremendous aspect of fostering, its that it has really taught our children what empathy really means.  Emma and Ben have been incredible at trying to put themselves in these boy’s shoes and think about what it would be like if it were happening to them.

As for Christopher and Cameron, they are such great kids, a real blast to have around.  They have great manners, are respectful everyone and are genuinely thoughtful.  Whatever their history, they have come through pretty well so far.

Meagan has enjoyed her first week or so at home with all the kids, she’s run them ragged being outside whenever the weather allows it.  To say that she is in her element would be an understatement.  She is in heaven.

Ben has started Tee-Ball and is playing for the Astro’s of the South Lexington Youth Baseball League.  He’s bored to tears in the outfield with the other 4 year olds, but until we get his throwing accuracy up, he’s pretty much stuck there.  On the other hand, he’s loving the hitting.

Emma is getting a much deserved break from Cheerleading, though she did have her tryouts for the next season and should know pretty soon at which level she will be competing with in the fall. 

We have added a new gallery so go check it out.
