new blog(private)

We have decided we would like to share our journey through foster/adoption but we have to do it through a private blog. I know that is so annoying but because of privacy issues we have to do it this way. If you would like to follow our journey and see pics of the kids please leave a comment with your email or email me at periwinklepurple@hotmail.com and I will send you an invite to the blog. thanks and see you in the cyber world:)

Sweet cousins

This was such a sweet shoot. It was a perfect day and for the most part they were all smiles. The baby smiled enough for all of them. Sweet littles

so Terry is getting mad because I only update the blog with pictures. So I figure I should let you all know what WE have been up to. We have pretty boring lives but we are finally done with our foster care classes and are anxiously awaiting a phone call for little ones. We have gotten a few calls but none of them have matched our family and what will fit with our lives and theirs. We have a boy living us named Kyle he will be with us for 2 years until he graduates. He had a little run in with the local police he now knows egging cars is not a good idea!!! Man teenagers are hard:) Terry is working mornings, he goes in at 4 and is done at noon which is so nice but he is always so tired when he gets home. We are getting excited for all the fun things that summer has in store for us. We are going to Kanosh this weekend to celebrate the 4th. We are hoping to have a little one to take with us. I will keep you updated on any progress. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for us.

so much sweetness

Here is a very small preview from one of my favorite shoots ever. What beauties these are. So many blue eyes I didn't know what to do with myself. Enjoy!!!

Baby H

You would never know by these pics how much this baby hated having her picture taken. I actually had to go back for another shoot because she was not having it the first time. I am really proud of the shots we did get though and I hope the parents are just as pleased. What a true beauty she is.

Its been forever

I am not very good about keeping this updated, it is not because I don't spend a lot of time on the computer because I do I just am so busy stalking other blogs I forget to update mine. So here is the latest going on with us. Terry and I have been attending foster care classes for the last 5 weeks in Las Vegas and we have 5 more weeks to go then we will be licensed foster care parents and start having children in our home. We are getting so anxious to start this new chapter in our lives. We look forward to having little feet run the halls and little voices echoing throughout the house. Lucas is going home in just 1 month. It is crazy how that year has gone by so quickly. Life is funny that way when you are in the middle of something you can't always see how fast it is flying by but then you sit back and look at how the time has passed and you can't believe it is already gone. In the past few months we have gone camping and gone to Kanosh and done a lot of yard work as well as work on the house. Terry built me a little divider wall in the garage so now it is a playroom and also a craft room for me. I will post pics later he did a great job. We have big plans for the backyard and I am hoping to get it done sooner rather than later in the heat of the summer:) For now that is it but I will try to be better at updating.

Girls weekend
