To celebrate surviving a whole yer as a foster family AND V birthday we biked the kiddos over to sonic for dessert.
V had a great night and is super excited for her party.
It’s been the longest and fasted year ever. It’s crazy to think that Monkey girl was only 4 weeks old, R was a scared angry 14 month old, and V was a lost little 4 year old. They have all grown SO SO much.
We are sure going to miss them when they move to their new family.
Kaylee lives in the dark place of worst case scenario. She gets it from me. It’s not great.
All summer long she was making comments like, “If a kidnapper trys to take me I’m going to….” She had all sorts of game plans. 
I finally asked her if she would like to take karate class this year. Her answer, “Ya. I think that would be best.” I had to bit my tounge to keep from laughing. But her face and tone… so funny. She hasn’t mentioned being kidnapped since she started karate class.
Regan is just super excited that he is a couple of levels ahead of her. Not competitive at all that one…..
In the hullabaloo of packing and wedding planning Emily’s box of Christmas stuff was lost. FOEVER. Or so we thought. It’s been hunted for for two Christmas’!
It was found on a random day that Josh was over looking for something else in their stash of stuff. I wanted to call Emily right away, but Josh REALLY wanted to surprise her when he got home.
I love happy endings. This box was buried in a pile of other boxes. Jon who was helping Josh find boxes of things to take to his and Emily’s new house found it. Such a happy accident. 🙂
