Artistic License

My 7 year old decided to take the camera and take a few pictures of her sister. I had no clue this was going on until I decided to download the pics and found these beauties in there. I actually laughed out loud when I found them because this is exactly how I picture Cecely. She is a ham.
She also loves posing as if she is a fashion queen. Anyone that knows her knows she brushes her hair at least 15 times a day and puts all kinds of product in her hair. Yes, she is in fact a diva.
This face is classic. I mean really who does she get this from?

Now you see why I am constantly laughing. These girls make me smile and laugh out loud many times a day. This was such a treat to find these pictures.

Something is Missing

Sorry, there will be no pictures on this post. I just wanted to let all of our friends and family that may not have received texts or email that our sweet little foster baby went home to live with his great grandma yesterday. It has been a whirlwind of things over the last couple of weeks. We knew of course when we got him that this could happen. When you sign up to be a foster parent one of the big questions you ask yourself is... "will I be okay when these sweet little people leave my home and go to be with family?" You want them to be with family if that is truly the best option. If everyone is rehabilated and well that is always the best option. However, we also are in the foster to adopt program so we eventually would like to adopt if that option presents itself. I guess it is hard because we got P when he was 5 weeks old and now he is 5 months old. He went from being a newborn to a happy smiley baby in those 4 months we had him.
He was an angel baby. Such a huge blessing in our family. When we found out on Friday that his Great Grandma was getting guardianship of him my heart was broken. We had the weekend to love and snuggle him. I had to give him to his GGma yesterday morning. I kept feeling like something was missing all day. I was supposed to be feeding my little P. I was supposed to be changing his diapers. I was supposed to be snuggling him and listening to him babble and talk. I was supposed to be wiping that slobber and kissing those cheeks. I was supposed to be loading him in and out of the car when I ran all my errands. Instead of doing all that I just felt like something was missing all day.
My older girls cried when they had to say goodbye to him before they went to school. After all they were all little mommies to him. As Bailey was getting ready to say goodbye to him she whispered in his little ear "I hope you remember us". I told Bailey that his Spirit would always remember us. I truly believe that.
Even though it has been extremely hard these past couple of days, the past 4 months have been an incredible blessing. Little P was loved like no other. He made a huge impact on our lives

Happy Birthday Bailey Boo!

For Bailey's birthday this year she wanted to invite friends over and have a hat party! One of our good friends Diana brought some awesome paper to make the hats out of and the kids had so much fun making pirate hats. They spent quite a bit of time putting stickers and coloring their hats! They were very creative. Aislynn literally spent over an hour making her hat.
Trevor is a very good friend of my girls. He spent a lot of time decorating his hat and even had a theme.
Here is Audrey and Bailey. They have been in school together for two years. They really love eachother. Bailey was so glad she got to come over!
Here is Devonney doing what she does best :) She loved all the stickers and the crayons. She felt like she was a big girl! She loved the party and thought it was all for her!
For her birthday she got to take cupcakes to school. Her favorite, strawberry cupcakes and cream cheese frosting. She had such a wonderful day at school. She is getting so big. I cannot believe she is seven already! What happened to my little baby girl? Bailey we love you sweetheart! You are such an incredible blessing to our family! You make our family so much better. I love you Bailey Boo
