Just thought I would bring everyone up to date on court today. The parents of our second set of kids signed off their rights, so they were tpr'd. But some relatives from out of state have showed up at the last minute and wanted to be given some time to think about adopting the kids, they have till next Monday. The parents will also be given one last good bye visit, it will probably happen the last week of June. The kids told their therapist that they want to stay here and have us adopt them. So at this point it is still a waiting game.
We are making some progress on adopting the other two and it shouldn't be much longer now, probably by next month at the latest.
It has been very busy with all the kids home from school. Although Monday they started going to the parks program from 10:00-3:00, they even feed them lunch. So 4 kids go and 4 stay home. Helps keep them from being so bored. They are going swimming tomorrow and they are so excited.
I went to the Dentist today with a tooth bothering me and found out I need a root canal. As we don't have dental insurance it is going to be an expensive deal. The first dentist was going to charge $1200, my sister's dentist charges $900. So I have an appt for next tues to get it done.
On a good note, I love that summer seems to be here. We are enjoying our porch more than I could have hoped for and it is great for the little kids. Even on the wet days (and we seem to have a lot of them)they can still play outside on the porch and I don't have to worry about them getting muddy. We just had to install some hook latches up high enough that K couldn't open them. The kids like to eat out there, but it is so much easier to eat inside with so many little ones. The last time we ate out there, they made a mess of the floor and I couldn't keep them in their seats. We have a large table and a small table. The little kids sit at the small table and they are constantly getting up out of their seats, so I don't know how good it is to eat out there with them.
I have had the opportunity to take a nap on the sofa on the porch and Greg had all the kids inside. It was wonderful, I could actually hear my wind chimes in the trees without the kids outside with me. Now that is sweet! And the birds singing, so nice! It is amazing how the little things can seem like so much! I was so blessed, one day was when we had a heat advisory and the temperature was 100, that is why all the kids were inside. I turned on the paddle fans and fell asleep on the sofa. I think the heat actually made me sleep a little longer and I woke up sweating, but it was worth it. I have never enjoyed heat so much.
Well catch you next time!
