Blogs, Babies, Books and Moving

Time has become quite the enemy lately. It seems I never have enough of it. I always have just one more thing to do. We haven't heard yet about our foster son's grandmother's homestudy. It's awful but we're hoping she doesn't pass. If she passes we have a very low shot of getting him. In fact I'd say we only have a God shot of getting him. It's a good thing I have a big God. Of course I don't always know the mind of God. I'm just praying that he wants me to keep my foster son as well...or at least that he will take pity on me and let me keep him. I don't know what I'll do if I lose him now. So, I'm waiting.
We're also getting ready for a big--and much anticipated--move! I can't wait to get on the road. There are too many days left to fill before the move day. I'd leave tomorrow if I could. It has been a long and difficult three years here. I love road trips and I really enjoyed driving up here. So, I imagine that our trip back down will be wonderful...especially since we are leaving Alaska this time. We plan to take the Ferry again. It was really neat coming up. We got to see dolphins and jellyfish. We're going to try to continue doing school in the car on the way and hopefully not miss too many days. We started a little early here so that we would have some time to spare. We've used a lot of the extra time up hanging out with Dan. It's been so awesome to have Dan home again! I hate it when he's gone. I lose a husband and a best friend all in one.
I don't seem to have much time for blogging lately. We took some really great pics of the kids last night for Halloween. As soon as we get them loaded to the computer I'll post them here. Bradley was Batman. Bethany was a vampire. Our foster son was a scarecrow. They are all too cute. And Bethany has grown so tall and grown up so much it's freaking me out!
