First Water Aerobic Class

today was AWESOME!
We had our first water aerobic class in our pool.
Such agreat thing to share with other mommies!
We are greatful for such a great teacher!
The pool is STILL cloudy! ****@@++
It was COLD!
The moms were awesome. I do hope they come back!
We are on for twice a week.
GOD IS GOOD!
I do hope our dd will keep her faith. When she is here, she is one way. When she is there, she is another. I KNOW she has her foundation, she has just floated to the clouds for a while. SIGH
I do hope this means she will be done with it come college time!
the boys are getting excited. Camps start next week and we still have no babies!!
I know in God's time, we will get the ones he wants us to have!
We hope to grill tonight, if the rain will miss us? Squash, mushrooms and some type of chicken! YUMMY
to bad we don't have cheap wine!!! :)

POOLS

I would like to shoot the man who sold us our pool and the installers!!!
They are so OUT OF THEIR minds when they say this is the simplest pool to take care of!!!!!
I have been attempting to clear it for 2 wks now!!!!!GRRRRR the steam is escaping from head every time I go out to check it!
we did get the drainage figured out, I HOPE! I am sick of the water flooding the ally when it could be watering my yard!!! we will see tonight!
We are so waiting for babies!!!
My emails are bouncing and I can't fix it!!!! another challenge in our adventure.
I did get some of our tickets for vacation reserved!!! YEAH a positive in the neutrals!
we are done to 52 days till vaction!!!
Oh my. Sister will be here in 33 days!!! PRAISE GOD!!! We will have our princess home for a time!
I guess we should get back to school????? Do we have to? We will be in school all summer just to get it done! Some good yrs, some slow yrs! HEHE
I did manage to get dh to cut the remaining tile for the bed room. Now just to grout it. NO HURRY there!

OH MY!!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!
We are looking at purchasing a hottub and bringing it home this weekend!!!
We are headed for Branson in 65 short days!
Our first full week vacation, EVER!
4-6 kids, 12+ hours in a van.......God have mercy on us!
Our cabin is 2 bedroom, 1 bath, full kitchen. I am gonna pack only enough for 4 days and wash while we are there. We will see if our complex life can handle simplicity.
The grounds look GORGEOUS!!!
The kids will love that there is at least 1 activity planned for each day!

God is leading in the direction of a facility for HSers. I am guided to the name of KOALA BEAR coop. When we get the building.....maybe a year.... I will post somemore.

Hopefully sister will come home for a visit the last weekend of May??? She is having excema breakouts and no one will listen that it has EVERYthing to do with her diet. If she doesn't we will be johny on the spot at 2pm on July 1!!!!! Then we can get her diet cleared out!
Bug will get his lower braces June 9th. 11 days b4 we head to Branson.

We have no placements as of yet, but we are waiting on the Lord......HE is awesome in his work!!! We are EXCITED and JUMP for the phone EVERYtime it rings! We did get some infant girls clothes so she will not have to wear a towel or blanky to her first shopping trip!!!!
The joys babies bring. WE are all treasuring our sleep for the time!!!

Our pool is in the process of clearing now. It SHOULD be swim ready in the morning????
It is only going to be like 65 tomorrow, so maybe next week?

OH MY!!!! THE BLESSINGS FROM ABOVE!!!

We are now a certified foster/adoptive home!!!! ALSO, my dh starts his new position on 5-1-09!!!!
God has been good to us!!! After a child leaving home, he is sending up to 3 more!!!
We are greatful for his mercies!!!
NOW TO ORGANIZE THE NURSERY???? I know, laugh!!! The office is a bigger priority, I think. Licensing does not like the stacks of papers. GRRRRR that is my life. Paper stacks!!!
I know God will grant me that strength Sunday afternoon!
We will be off to astronomy camp tomorrow. I am so excited!!! Some extras are riding with us on the way down. The boys will love their "getaway". :o)

I am seeing this spring will be very "poppy".

About me

I am a stay at home mom that homeschools 2 of our 3 children. Faith is the foundation on which ALL children should be raised. The rest will come in due time!
I also do paperwork for my dh's side business and some technical work....change time, toll restrictions EASY STUFF. :)
We have been married 12 yrs this July. OH MY where does time go???
Our dd decided to leave home and finally did this last December. God watch over your little girl!!! That is why I only have 2 home at this time. We are learning that sister is not here nor will she be here much. That within itself has been a new normal.

WE are starting a new chapter of foster to adopt.
I do hope I can post once the little ones start to arrive.

I donot have a great sense of humor, just incase you are looking for some great writings!!! ;)
I have recently made contact with my older sister. First time in 12yrs!!!! I hope to fly up to see here in August. We would go sooner, but sister visits in July and we want to be able to vacation with ALL the kids.

Enough about me for now. I am off to see Penguins post!
