We've Grown!

After a 17 month long paper trail Lyric's brothers are finally with us as foster children!!!! We picked them up from the airport on Wednesday and we are so happy to have them here! They are AMAZING kids! Please pray for us through this transition. xoxo, Sam

Praying you have a smooth transition with the brothers being added to your sweet family. I'm sure Tim is over the moon with 2 boys added to the mix. :)

I check your blog every week, and I pray for you and your family, although we have never met. You are an inspiration to me and my family and I am thrilled to hear how God is directing your story. This update is absolutely a blessing to read!!! Monique

Are Lyric and her brothers going to remain long term fosters, or is the state moving towards reunification or adoption? I know you probably can't talk about it, but I can't help but wonder.

We had a very painful loss when after moving towards adoption, our to be daughter (my husbands then 15 year old former foster sister who became our foster daughter 2 years prior after a failed reunification with her mother, since my inlaws were at full capacity) was told she had to do "one more" reunification attempt with her mother before she could become ours. Sadly, her behavior changed dramatically and she dropped out of highschool back in her mothers care, along with other problems, and decided to stay with her mother as the state offered more and more interventions to maintain reunification, and has since aged out of foster care. We tried to maintain a relationship, but she refused to follow family rules while visiting and decided to cut ties when we refused to condone her wild behavior.

While I'm not very religious, I pray regularly for your family and their well being, and that your foster children have healthy, happy outcomes no matter how things go.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...
