God is an awesome God!
I took Russ to the airport to send him on his way to play in the big sandbox, and a great many of the folks he works with were there to tell him bye. He is very well liked among his comrades and his presence will be missed in the office. One could tell their sentiments were most sincere. Once Russ gets to his destination he will have internet access and we will be able to communicate quite a bit. Such blessings!
On the way to the airport my phone rang. It was another foster mom asking if we would provide respite (babysitting) for her three little ones over the weekend! Well these are kids we know since they are siblings to one of the kids we have fostered! We are excited to be able to play with these kids again and to help out another family that needed a break. And what a great distraction for us!
Then Jonathan, Lex's husband (still getting use to saying that!), had a job interview this morning and got the job!!! Ok they have to run a background check on him but no worries there! Then he will have 6 weeks of paid training and then start full time! They will be able to afford his going to an online trade school now! Lex is still hunting a part time position and working on her high school courses.
Our needs are being met beyond expectations!
Well I must go and start getting things ready for three extra little kiddos to be here!
Oh yes, I never did post about Thanxmas!!
What a GREAT time we had with Russ' family! We drove up on Wednesday and came back on Saturday. Thursday was a wonderful day of marvelous food and incredible fellowship. Even my folks got to come be with us. On Friday Russ' folks took us out to the movies and we got to see the latest Harry Potter flick. It was good of course, can't tell you if it followed the book or not though since it's been too long since I read it! Oh well! It was still a fun afternoon. We didn't bother hitting the road home until after lunch on Saturday and just had a leisurely drive home.
Ok...I really do need to get busy now!
