Update

Met the new foster parents for Julius and Ariel yesterday. Seem like a good fit! They will move on Wed am. God has just taken care of everything just as He always does. Met them at Grapevine Mills Mall, their request. Never taken the babies to the mall just because I hate shopping. And the other reason, Julius is throwing up this morning. Stupid carousel! Stupid me for not hand sanitizing after!
Still packing when we can. Things are off the wall and the kitchen is about a 1/4 packed. Hard to pack when you still live it. Plus, not as motivating when you know your packing to move to a rental until your house sells so you know you will be packing/unpacking double in the next 2 years. But trying to organize as I go so we won't unpack everything at the rental, only the necessities.
Which brings me to my pondering...we have a lot of stuff that isn't a necessity. Not that we live extravagantly but there is just stuff! Things that you really don't use in 2 years. What could you box up and never know it was gone??? Bamboo salad tossers? Zester? Soup tureen? Your Bible?

What are you going to do with all the baby stuff? Are you guys planing to Foster in Colorado? Hope it's a great move for you. Are going to teach?

We are sending all their stuff with them to their new foster folks since they don't have much of anything. Not sure if we will foster again. Feeling like we need to invest some time in the girls and make sure they are really settled before we do it again. Pray on it a bit and see what God wants us to do. It has been a sacrifice but think we are a better family because of it and we served them well. Not teaching. Gonna do my OT stuff here and there.

That's great. You guys are a great family who loves God and it shows daily from you. Let me know if I can do anything.

We're really going to miss y'all. Thanks again for all the books and "teacher stuff." The office supplies alone are going to be a great help!

Oh-- and bamboo salad tongs. That would be something of mine I definitely wouldn't miss. ;)
