FHE at it's finest!!!

Monday night I had to work, so Travis took care of Family Home Evening!! He is the best dad/husband EVER!!!! So when I came home Travis and the kids were just about finished. He pulls out his phone and shows me the funniest video!! I laughed so hard, and I wanted to cry, it was so cute and I just love my kids. Anyways.....here it is!!!!

New addition to our home!







On March 27th we got called to take a 10 month old baby boy into foster care, he came to us at 2:00 in the morning, it was snowing and all he had on was a t-shirt, diaper and coat. His name is Rylee, he was so cute and scared, I stayed up with him till about 3:00am and then gave him a bath and put on a t-shirt of Kasons and rocked him to sleep. He slept till 11:oo, and the kids loved waking up to a new baby in the house. They couldn't wait for him to wake up so they could see him. I went to Walmart that morning to buy him some clothes, diapers and wipes. He only came with 4 diapers.

His parents were arrested in Island Park for drugs, they got out of jail, about 2 weeks ago and just left him. Never came to see him and have not called to see how he is!! The case worker went to court and the judge said this was aggravated abandonment. Court is scheduled again for May which is a Shelter Care hearing, if no family contacts or claims Rylee, a permanency plan will begin. We are really hoping to adopt him, though it is still very early in the process. I believe they give the parents around 6 months, or family to begin working a case plan. If no one wants him, then rights will be terminated and we will be able to adopt him. We will hope for the best and expect the worse. We love him dearly and will be heart broken if he leaves us!!
