Halloween

So our family got invited by some of our friends to come over for dinner/hanging out/pumpkin carving... So excited...

We are in charge of DESSERT!!!!!

CHEESECAKE IT IS!!! Well for the adults that is. I am making some really cool halloween cupcakes for all the kids.

I will take pictures on Thursday/Friday when everything is complete and upload the new pics!

I am so very excited to make and share more treats!!!

Peek-A-Boo

Josh and S were playing Peek-a-boo....I was able to get the pic snapped before one of them let their hands down.... It took a few trys, but I finally captured it!

School....

R had his first day of school. I just finally got around to posting pics...
and his 2nd day of school... He seems to be enjoying it. When I go into the bedroom in the morning he jumps up all excited. I hope it keeps up.

A video for you...

I saw this video and it really touched my heart...

Things

I can't wait to start making plans for the next few holidays coming up. We should know more this Wednesday, I am hoping that we will know more at least. Anyhow, once we find out if we have the boys for the upcoming holidays I will post pics of their Halloween costumes and such.

I have a few other pics and videos on my camera that I need to take off. I will do so after work tonight. I am not sure if I will get them posted but I will get them off my camera.

School

So R has a pre-school evaulation day next Tuesday (10/13).

He goes from 8:30 AM to 11:15 PM, to see how he interacts with all the other kids in the class in the normal daily schedule. I think he will have a great time and I don't think those teachers know that he is definately a smart kid and picks up on things very fast. It is definately an exciting time, for us at least.

Name Changes

You all might have noticed that we retagged photos and changed names to R and S. This was done out of anonymity and respect for the boys' family.

Originally, we thought we were in pretty good shape protecting the last name of the boys but after reviewing some foster forum posts other states are considerable more strict on this and we decided to take it step further and not use their first names either

We had aquired approval to post pictures, and will continue to do so unless concerns by the family are brought to my attention.

All of you obviously know the names of the boys as well, since you all have come to our house or met them in some context, so please be sure to exercise restraint in your posts.
