Avea with her newly diognosed diabetic brother Keiko. Yes Keiko has Diabetes, they say because of his bought with pancreatitis, it messed up his Kidneys. Now I get to catch his pee every day (maybe even twice a day) to check to see how much insilin I get to give him, WITH A SHOT!!! I just can't believe this. I thought he was acting funny because of the new little chick in town. But he was hammering the water, I figured something was up. And they also said his pancreous enzymes were elevated too. Probably getting to many extra snacks from the floor. That is going to have to stop, poor little guy.

The next pictures were us in the boat going down the river one last time. Mike thought Avea needed to try it once before we put the boat up. She really didn't care, maybe next year she'll like it better.

Oh My,

I don't know where to start. Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this blog. Life has changed for us. It has turned into a crazy life. I always knew I would fall in love, I just didn't realize it would have happened like this. So fast, So wonderful!! Sometimes I think she might get bruises on her cheeks I kiss and mull her so much. It definately is more work than expected, but work in a good way. BUSY BUSY BUSY, But Busy in a diferent way. I am actually surprised I am up still. IT IS AFTER 11:00 pm.

I feel like the little peanut will get sick of running the roads with me. One more reason I am sure GOD planned her for me perfectly. SHE LOVES TO SHOP!! SHE LOVES SHOPPING CARTS OR STROLLERS, PERFECT!! ( That makes Mike really HAppy)kiddin'

Anyways, I will try to get more pictures. My camera will not hold the batteries in anymore, so it is hard to take pictures.

OOOOHHHH How I LOVE APPLES!!

Mostly HUGE APPLES!!! Apples the size of my HEAD!!!

Today I kissed an angel,

I knew it from the start

The first time my angel smiled at me;

I gave a way my heart.

Today I kissed an angel'

THis angel child of mine

Though not of my creation,

My child by god's design.

Today I kissed an angel,

My heart is dancing wild;

my family, by a miracle;

Blessed by my angel child.

My Child

My child,

I carried your picture with me

since the day I received it,

And dared to love

a child I was yet to meet.

My child,

I carried you in my arms at last,

and gazed in helpless wonder

at your face,

And dared to lose

my heart to you.

And now, my child,

a dream fulfilled,

a prayer answered,

a family created,

I have dared to become

your mom.

And so now,

my precious child,

I shall carry you

HOME.!!

Saying Good-bye/Poem to Aveas Foster Family

It must be hard to leave behind,
All that you have come to know,
And even more to say good-bye
To those who have loved you so.

They've cared for you so lovingly
As ifyou were their own,
While knowing that the day would come
When you'd be going home.

We never will forget them
And the kindness they have shown,
The love they've showered on you
These months as you have grown.

There will surely be a sadness
As you now will be apart,
Yet you'll always be remembered
Memories live on in the heart.




I wish I could put a picture of them all together on here. They loved her so much. My heart still is breaking for them all.
