A little sparkle

"How many days have I been here, Ms. Julie?"

"162."

"What?? How's it been that much?"

"That's just how long it's been."

"No it's not. It couldn't have been that long."

LL's quotes:

- "I need a little bit more fabulousness on my painting."

"Come on, Mr. Brian!" We took our Little Lady to see Dolphin Tale 2 this morning. 

Grilling and crafts were on the agenda after the movie. Yes, even Bry did a craft. A model airplane. 

Working on my newest favorite type of photography...styled product photography!

No newspapers in the house, so we laid down wrapping paper. 

First craft with LL. She leaves a little sparkle wherever she goes.

About Us: 

We began our foster journey in mid-August 2013. We finished our classes in October, had our home study in early January, and we were licensed on February 7, 2014. After seven calls from CPS, we received our first placement, a 7-year-old girl (our Little Lady, or LL for short) on April 3, 2014. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about our journey through the craziness that is foster care. Most importantly, thanks for your prayers, love, and support. We hope to encourage fellow foster/adoptive parents as we document our ups and downs each day.
