House selling...



Our house has been on the market for three weeks now, yet we have not even had one call with anyone wanting to look at it. It's getting more and more difficult to keep up the perfect look of the house, when I feel I am working myself so hard for nothing. It looks nice, and we all enjoy it looking so orderly, but it's a full time job. I am spoiled I suppose, used to playing more with Josh, reading...and while I could technically still do those things, I find that I have only so much room in my mind and it's now consumed with other things. I am too much of a tunnel vision type I suppose. It's been stressing me out.

Today though, I made up my mind to do a yoga dvd that I enjoy, and it really made a difference. I am very glad that I did it, I feel much less jittery, and able to think more clearly. It's been a long time since I have taken that time to care for myself in that way. I am very thankful that I did take that time out to do it today. I will definitely be trying to do more of it.

We have a contingency contract on a house that we like right now. I do hope that we soon have a buyer for our house and that we are not wasting this other couple's time, keeping them tied up in a contract with us. I am trying very hard to keep positive and remember that the Lord is in control of it all, and not feel badly for it.

Company is here, have to run!

My BABY boy is 5 years old today!

Baby Joshua...4 months old

I am feeling very, very blessed and grateful tonight. My Joshua is 5 years old today. I thought that since most of you have never seen a picture of Josh when he was a baby, I would post this one. His foster dad, Terry, sent this to me, and I just treasure it!! I never got to see Joshua this little, as he was 18 months old when I met him and brought him home. He is just as beautiful as a baby as he is now...those eyes, that smile!!! He just melts my heart COMPLETELY! He is such a huge blessing to us, I thank God for him every day, but have especially been refecting on it today, that his birthmom was giving birth to our baby boy 5 years ago today. WOW!!!! God is AWESOME!

Josh looking at his calendar of friends...




Joshua loves to look at the Angelman Calendar, so I put all the pages from last year's calendar in page protectors, and a binder, and he LOVES it! It's now his own special book, and he will look through it with me for a very long time. I got this video of him...
