Catching Up!!

We have been so busy the last couple of months that I am behind in my posts. In January Del and I licensed to be foster parents. In February a couple of young  children came to stay and have spent the last seven months with us and just last week they moved on to their adoptive home. This is the reason I have been lax in posting. Obviously four children take a lot of time.
I hope now I can catch up on a few post - but if another placement comes our way - well it just might not happen!!! So here goes.
 Here is some photos of what we have been up to - in know particular order.
J.D. on the first day of Seventh Grade.

 K.J.  on the first day of school.

 And my best friend - celebrate the big 40 this year- happy belated birthday.

 K.J. and his third grade teacher on back to school night.

 We had a series of hospitals stays with one of the children and spent one night in the Ronald McDonald house - J.D. hanging with the big guy himself :)

 K.J. and J.D. spent sometime on the basketball court at the Ronald McDonald house.

 We also held K.J's fundraising 5K for his service dog and had a nice day, a good turn out, and a great time.

 Scouting was a part of our summer as well. J.D. attended his first scout camp. And K.J. his first official cub scout day camp. Here are the boys in our troop and their leaders.

 J.D. receiving his merit badges had earned at camp and a rank advancement too!

 K.J. received his bobcat - it was a challenge for him and we are very proud of him and J.D. too!
