Little Things

There's a patch of our front yard that won't grow grass.....
And I'm okay with that.
Jack thinks it's his personal dirt track for all of his trucks and cars. He played out there for an hour without a break, just making tracks and racing. Precious!






Sydney playing with her toys. If you don't put her on her belly, she's oh so happy. She is still obsessed with her teacher, Ms. Michelle. In fact, we joke that she refuses to be mobile because that means she would have to move to the next class.....without Ms. Michelle. It would be a heartbreaking day!


And, drumroll please........


Our completed foster care room!!!

Twin bed and bookcase chocked full of children's books. Also, a CD player for lullabies, rock-out sessions, etc.


Shelves that are holding birdhouses and teddy bears, a rocking chair for bedtime stories, nightlight to scare away monsters, and a cross...because that's the reason behind it all.

I finished the curtains tonight (made out of a fabric shower curtain - so easy and tons of fabric left over for a matching blanket!) and the benchseat with baskets for toys.

Of course, we may change a few details depending on the age and gender of the child (I found these vintage superhero posters at Walmart that I'm a little obsessed with) but I think it's fairly gender-friendly and downright homey. I have my big interview with our home development worker on Wednesday and Clint has his next Monday. After that, we will just wait for her to get everything in the computer and we'll be ready to go! {Insert freak-out, insane face here}

Seriously, we both feel that we are on the brink of exciting, trying times for our family. We covet your prayers, your encouragement, and your love. Our hope and prayer is that God will receive the glory for our obedience, and that people will come to Christ.
