Since my father passed on in August, I have thought alot about death and the life folowing this one. I have always heard the stories of how peaceful Heaven is, no pain or sickness and I try to wrap my head around the inner peace that each person has, and how Heaven could be this for each person, but different for everyone. I mean, who fills your coffee cup in Heaven? I don't know, maybe I am thinking too much of Heaven in Earthly things, but I tend to over think those things which I can not fathom...and appearantly am not supposed to.
Anyway, my parents were married 63 years, and as I found interesting things in their home, I think about my fathers life in Heaven right now. He cannot possibly be happy without my mother. My mother cannot be happy here without him, although she is less burdened without his sickness. So as I think of my parents, and Heaven, I leave you (and me) with a song that has to be what my father's Heaven existance is like until my mom joins him.Waitin' on a Woman-Brad Paisley & Andy Griffith

First Birthday
Well, I haven't blogged in a while, guess between school, and home life, it's just been busy. But yesterday was A's First Birthday and although we did not have a party, he will have one tomorrow with family and friends (and even his natural brother). I am extremely happy to have his brother and foster mom visit us.

Lightening up
Yea, ok, this is real progress for me: 2 blogs in just a week.
As things are lightening up as far as calendar "issues," I do have to note that the frustration at people that are not calling me back. Most of these people have made appointments to see the pups and then just never call back. Its frustrating because I REALLY don't have time for BS games and want the pups at loving homes, and then they tick me off so badly I don't even want them to have a dog!
Oh enough ranting (I may do it again in this post, but not on this subject) :)
As for the children, all are excellent, although Tyler has been very upset with Neshannock lately. Combination of the bullying and teacher incompetence. Ryan started at Headstart last week and truly loves it: he has been coming home daily and talking non-stop about everything that happened that day (except the food, which he can never remember). Atavion is well and has been a lil trooper through everything that he is going through as far as the surgery goes.
Well, I guess thats all for me this evening. Congrats to our friend Bri who gave birth to a beautiful baby girl tonight. God is go great!

February 2011
Ok, I do know that I keep promising to continually blog, but then life sneaks up....and well, I don't. But I'll try again....I PROMISE TO REGULARLY BLOG. (Maybe if its in all caps, it will happen).
I do follow others blogs regularly, and draw inspiration from so many of them. I thank God for the healthy children in my life when I read Char's blog, pray for strength for my beautiful niece when I read her blog and recall the things she & I tried and know the things she has to look forward to, and pray for wisdom for those adoption blogs that I follow and have never met. I know that God's has touched all those in my family and am confident that he hears my prayer for the friends that will come to him in time.
I have been talking to God so much lately, sometimes I confuse myself when I am not in prayer. The last month has really been a whirlwind of paperwork and hyperventilating as we prepared for the adoption of Tyler and Ryan. I am glad to report that on February 10, 2011 at 3:45pm, the Judge made it legal! Then began the paperwork trail of changing names, getting birth certificates, etc. lol Who said adoptions of multiples was easier?
