foster: Update

Looking over our sidebar I was stuck on our placements. Could we really have fostered 13 children over the last 2 1/2 years? Really?! That is a TON. When we were training we were told the AVERAGE child's stay in foster care is 15-18 months. We are defiantly below the average.

Angel and Iron Man went home at the beginning of the month. The last 2 weeks of that placement could have gone better. But one thing I realized, it's not my job to be universally liked.

So here we are childless and taking a break. I think it will be a very long break. It's time to focus on J and me. No one else's drama aloud.

Yay, a new post. Definitely get that fabric. I read the link post. I think that was great advice.

We just moved into 1st ward! I get to see your mom and Brenda every week when I drop off Jet in the nursery. They're so awesome!

That's a lot of foster kids, you are both amazing. I can't imagine how challenging that would be, but you have blessed their lives so much. I'm glad you'll have some couple time. That's always wonderful. Love, Jessica
