WHEW!!!!

What a whirlwind week this has been! Sunday is upon us and I feel like my week has whisked by. This is the first real moment I've had since Wednesday to get an update out.

Monday we were certified for Foster Care. Tuesday we worked at the farm and got a call asking us if we would be willing to take two small boys into our home. Wednesday I picked them up, and ZOOOM!!! There went the week!

We now have two beautiful boys in our care. They are sweet and precious─we love them already. To make sure that we take good care of them and their parents, we won't be posting any pictures online, but if you know us personally, you'll definitely get some time with them.

They are adjusting well and so are we. It's been very busy for us. Our own children are quite independent now, so going back to 1 and 3 year olds is quite a task. But, God is giving us the grace, patience, and rest that we need for each moment. Pray for us as we love on these two. Pray for the boys as they adjust to new schedules and some very hard situations over the next couple of months. Pray for mom and dad as well. They need a lot of it.

To add to the prayer requests, if I may...
Oscar (the invalid cat) is now urinating blood all over the place. I took him to the vet this morning, leaving hubby behind with 5 kids, and got him some antibiotics. I'm praying that they kick in quickly. Poor kitty is in bad shape.

Life never quits, does it?

Many blessings on your home!
Erin
