Sylvie going on a walk with cousin Simon and Nana
Makin faces with my brand new nephew, Desmond. Sooooo sweet.
Sylvia is now into everything. She loves to help me unload the dishwasher – unfortunately she favors doing this when it is full of dirty dishes.
These four babies are good friends – we all hang out a lot. We were trying to get a picture of them, as one of them is moving away. Of course, Sylvia is not capable of sitting still for more than half a second. Luke volunteered to hold her down, Zack is just shaking his head - “what’s wrong with this chick?”
Jae’s already gotten to the stage where he’s too cool for most things. Especially if it involves me. Or Brian. Or anyone under the age of 10. But listening to his radio? Very cool.
My bouquet from the boys this week. Somehow they seem to find unique flowers every week, even in our little yard. Love the flowers this week.
I know this wasn't suppose to be an emotional post, but I cried when I saw that picture of Jae. Maybe it's because I see that in my own 5 year old foster sister sometimes, and I don't know the best way to minister to her. She'll gaze off into the distance or start yelling and hitting for no reason. I want to help her, but she still acts out. These kids have been through so much, and it hurts to see that there are so many other kids going through similar issues.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a wonderful job with these boys, Maggie. It's so clear through the words you write that you love them and care for them so much.
Totally understand about her not being able to be still for more than 1/2 a second. Coralyn is the same way. We call her squirms :)
