Just another update...

So what's new here in Howellville?

Well, not a whole lot to share. I did manage a date night with my hubby tonight! We don't get a lot of "us" time. So a date is a pretty exciting thing. We snuck away to Red Lobster for some lobster and crab legs...my favorites! We had a GREAT TIME:)

We are expecting our newest grand-daughter sometime in the next month. We are all excited about that. I can't wait to have her here in my arms. I love grandbabies! They are the BEST! I'm thinking she will come the last week of December, but I guess we will just have to wait and see what Miss Aniston has planned. Please keep Anna and Aniston in your prayers. We are praying for a safe and healthy delivery.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week. The Saturday before Thanksgiving we celebrated with Hubby's family and on Thanksgiving day  we celebrated with mine. A week full of fun and memory making:) I love our family:)

Today, we are back on schedules and routines. It was a tough day. It's always tough after a holiday break.  I so enjoyed my week off last week with with no appointments, but that changed today. We have a week full of therapies and we have three doctor appointments this week (two in Atlanta for the babies)...grrrr  One day I hope all of this will be behind me. One day.

Our newest foster "choo choo" left us (Insert sad face here). He moved on to another foster home so that he can be with his baby sister. I miss him. I usually don't get this attached to the ones that come and go quickly, but something about choo choo was different. Maybe it was because he was so much like Z(and everyone knows how I feel about Z). Maybe it was because he loved to be cuddled or how he wrapped his little arms around my neck for a big bear hug. Maybe it was his sweet kisses. He loved to love on you. Boy I miss him. He was a sweet heart.

We haven't heard a word about Baby girl or Baby JK's case. Both of them too may be leaving us. They are looking for a medically fragile adoptive home for Baby Girl.  Baby JK may be moving to grandmother's. We should learn more by next week on him, because we have a court hearing set. I don't know what I'll do if they move all of my babies at once. I can't imagine that.

We are getting ready for our yearly *dreaded* re-certification for foster care. I don't know why but I dread it more than ever this year. I planned it early (October) last year and I wish I would have done that this year. Instead I've waited until the due month. The busiest month of the year. What was I thinking?????

I've finished almost all of my Christmas shopping. Just a few small items left. We haven't decorated our home yet. Maybe next weekend we will get to that. I purchased a second supergate/ play yard in hopes of keeping the babies away from the tree. I guess we will see how good it works. Real trees and babies are NOT a good combination.

Well that's about it. It's bed time here in Howellville.
 Have a great week everyone!
