JUST A BUSY LIFE

Things have been busy and certainly crazy, with the evaluation going on.  Yesterday was our home evaluation.  That is when the evaluator comes to our home, checks out the house and watches our family together, how we interact.  I think it went quite well.  We had a great time.  We made cupcakes, which Maddie calls pup cakes.  We also finger painted.  We where sad to see Nicole go home for the rest of the summer.  We will not see her until school starts.  We where very blessed to have her for the last 5 and a half weeks. I hope this evaluation goes in our favorer.  It is all in gods hands now.  I love my girls and I just don't think I could bare them being split apart.  Today was a nice break from everything.  Besides Maddie having tonsillitis and a 104 degree temp the night before, it was a fun day. Maddie and I went to the Dinosaur museum with My mom, her boyfriend, and his son Lucas.  Lucas is ten and Maddie just thinks he is great as she does most boys. After spending a fantastic day with Maddie, I got to spend the rest of the evening with my husband, while Maddie spent the night with grandma at Rachael's house.  Jake and I spent most of the night talking and just enjoying one another's company.  Latter we caught a movie.  What a fantastic non stressful day. I am grateful for days like today. I needed it.
