Easter Weekend

We were blessed to have beautiful weather for Easter weekend. It was SO NICE. I was so exhausted from concerts, eggs, fun with kids. I promise to post pics as soon as possible. The girls were adorable in their new dresses. The concerts were spirit filled and wonderful. It was a little sad for the last song, knowing that we wouldn't sing together again for a while. I think many were touched by the holy ghost. It's back to the routine for now.

New Solutions!

I am SUPER relieved and happy that DJ has been accepted into the New Solutions program. This is such a blessing for our family as it will build enormous support around our family and our needs. DJ is primarily the one kiddo who the meetings will be for, but in order to meet his needs they will support everyone in our family. Let me be honest with you (or myself, as no one reads my blog anyway), there are things that pre-adoptive parents are not told. One thing though that Drew and I promised each other is that we would reach out and find support if we encountered issues while raising these precious children. The things they struggle with are not their fault. Sometimes I feel so frustrated that they do not internalize/learn the things we are striving to teach. God is in control. We need to be reminded that we were chosen for this great work and that HE guides and provides. On another note, tomorrow night is another support group meeting. The kids will be so excited as they love doing the activities provided there. I am excited to give such a positive report and to see and love on the other families there. The Easter concert is FRI and SAT this coming weekend. I am looking forward to this as we have rehearsed and worked super hard to put it together. School starts up again tomorrow and I am excited to get back on schedule. Now time to relax with the husband.
