2010? Already? and already FEBRUARY???

Okay - so what happened to the past 6 months? The last time I posted a blog on here was August.....2009 and now it's February 2nd.....2010!!!! How does time move so fast???

WOW - there's been a lot happen since my last blog. If I remember correctly I was sending my son off for his first day of 6th grade and he was 11-years old. This morning when I woke him up I was waking up a 12-year old and he's been twelve for 2 months today :)

On top of waking up the 12-year old I also now wake up a 9-year old that has been in my home since Labor Day!!!!! I told you, lot's of things have happened.

T is a great little boy and that is exactly what he is all BOY. He likes to ride his bike, the more mud to ride in the better. He likes to play with his cars and he likes to rough house with my 12-year old and the husband. He does NOT like to take baths or eat his vegetables and FORGET about going to bed early - that's for sissy's :)

We've had a great time with T in the house - he is however a foster child and not permenant at this point in time. A lot of stuff will have to happen in the legal arena before T would ever be available for adoption - if ever. But, right now he is a part of our family and that is how it will be until the day he leaves my home.

So, how have the past 6-months been for you and yours? Good I hope!!!! Just to make this short and sweet I've listed out a few highlights of the past 6 months for you - here goes :)

• T came to live with us in September
• We went camping
• We went on a hayride with friends for Halloween
• We carved a pumpkin and went to a local church for candy Halloween night
• We went to my hometown to visit my parents and family for Thanksgiving. Social Services even let T travel with us!
• C celebrated his 12th birthday in December
• Both my husband and I celebrated our birthday's in December as well as our wedding anniversary (LOVE MY MAN!)!
• We had an AWESOME Christmas at home
• We went on a short day trip to celebrate New Year's
• 2009 left and 2010 began
• My oldest friend in the whole wide world was diagnosed with breast cancer but God has intervened and there are no signs of cancer after her surgery!!!!
• T turned 9 in January
• We had 6-inches of snow - beautiful white, fluffy stuff that made the whole weekend fun!!!

I'm sure there is more but that's the gist of how the past 6-months have gone. Hopefully it won't be 6-months before I post again but just in case, know this, GOD IS IN CONTROL OF ALL THINGS!!! There isn't a day that goes by that God has to slap His forehead and say, "wow, I didn't see that coming"!
