Almost a year!

I can't believe it has been almost a year since I have posted......I am such a slacker!

A lot has happened in the past year, but I won't put you through all the misery of reliving it! In the past few weeks, we have done a lot of talking, swearing, and more talking about the direction my home business of childcare was going to take. For a long time I have been feeling like it was time to close shop, but I really do LOVE having the kids around. This week everything came to a head and enough was enough. Ryan and I decided it wasn't worth the little bit of extra money I was making to keep the doors open, so we gave all the parents a month to find another provider. The last day will be bitter sweet....I will miss the kids but it will feel so good to have my house and family back.

During all the talking, I brought up the fact that I would LOVE to be a foster parent! This subject is nothing new to Ryan, we talked about it when Jacob was about 2 but he wasn't too sure. He was worried about the fact that we would get attached to the kids and then they would be ripped out of our arms and we would never see them again. I know that this is very true and very real, but I can't help but feel like we could help a child. If we have to deal with a little heart ache on our end, that is find with me!

After many weeks of talking, we came to the conclusion that this is the direction our lives are supposed to take right now and we are getting the process moving. The boys are VERY excited about the idea and both are excited to share their lives and family with other children.

We will keep everyone posted on what is next in our busy lives!
