We are pretty sure we are having another baby!! Last October we were told that the kids mom had another baby. Well after alot of calls and emails and digging for info we will be meeting with the baby's caseworker and some other team members so they can determine permanent placement for the baby. We are so excited!! the baby was born in October so he is just 3 months old. He has been in fostercare right from the hospital. We are hoping it doesn't take to long for the transition and that we can get him before the end of February. From what I understand the rights have already been severed or are in the process so he is ready (or almost ready) for adoption. The kids are so excited. They have been telling everyone. So everyday the teachers at school ask how things are going. We have found working with the government it is always a waiting game. So we're glad that we learned alittle about patience when we were younger.
We also have other exciting news after almost 2 years of being out of a 8 to 5 job James has been hired by a temp agency to work at Wells Fargo doing loanish stuff. It's just a temp job but it is good money for now while he has it and it could turn into permanent....what ever that means anymore. He has done so great with his bullet business he has gotten alot of regulars who like his stuff so he will still do alittle of that. His shift is 2 to 11pm so he will still be able to take the kids to school in the morning and get alot done before he has to go in at 2. It will be a new adjustment for all of us for him not to be home and available all day. I'm hoping we will survive!! My biggest worry.....who will help Shea with her math???? I'm serious.. I don't know this kind of math.
We are so excited to head down to Safford/Thatcher/Central (do you think they could give this place 1 name??) tonight for Jon and Amanda's baby blessing. we are taking the camper to stay in and the kids are so excited because we are going "camping" even though we are parking in front of Jon's house. We are also going to visit our favorite Knight's the boys need to play with Benjamin they will (better) get along great!! Well I have packing to do, Sunday shirts to iron and food to figure out so we'll take alot of pictures while we are "camping" and post them next week.

What a joy to think you may get another blessing. You are one fanstatic family!!!
I just wanted to let you know that this is the exact same scenario that we had when we got our baby at 2 days old. Right after we found out about her Eric got a contractor position with AMEX with better pay. Everything will work out the way its supposed to when you are doing what your are supposed to be doing---and taking in the kids you are supposed to bring to your family. I'm excited for you all!
We were offered our kids' identical twin baby brothers but had to decline because we just wouldn't be able to do right by them with all that we already have on our plate. Our kids' birthmother has *9* kids all together. I'm glad that the State of Arizona wants to keep the siblings together! That's awesome!
Myrna ,
How exciting! I am so excited for you. Meigen is in Thatcher going to school. Love you
Finally some real news about the baby! Can we just start calling him Joel now? I can hardly wait to see him. To see which of the other kids he looks like the most.. Have fun in Central.. next weekend we'll be right back there again.
Glad to hear you had such a great time. Thanks for writing about it so soon. Ooooh, that just reminded me that I didn't call and remind Kent to get a church pew....I'll have to call him.
Love you!
