Great grandparents

Whos who again

Kass....Kennedy

Awsome News

Our Birthfathers appeal has been denied.... So, he had no further recourse. We are so relieved to have that taken care of. Now, we will have 2 more home visits, the report will go to the Michigan courts and then we will be able to take Kennedy to the temple and we can become an eternal family. We are so grateful for Lily and the great sacrifice that she has made for us. She is truely a valiant daugter of God.

Life Happens

Travis and I have been making some hard decisions this week. I have decided to resign my position and go back to working nights at the hospital so that I can be home with the kids more. I have loved my job. I have learned so many things and have made so many great friendships in the past 3 years. My bosses have been so great. They took me under their wings and taught me so much. I hope that after the kids get older, I will be able to work with them again. I am looking forward to having a shorter drive. The extra time going to the new hospital has been hard. I know that working nights again is going to be challenging- mainly because I'm old now, but it will be nice to be home when Kass gets out of school. I am looking forward to spending more time with Kennedy as well. She is growing so fast, I hate to miss these precious moments.

Kass is excited. I think it will be good because Travis is so good about cleaning the house when I am not home. I am hoping that only working 3 days a week will help me keep up with the house better. I will also be able to help at Kassy's school and I want to get more involved with the FSA.

Inspiration

Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said: “When things of the world crowd in, all too often the wrong things take highest priority. … Satan has a powerful tool to use against good people. It is distraction. He would have good people fill life with ‘good things’ so there is no room for the essential ones.”1

Kassidy and her summer studying

Here are a bazillion picture's of the 4th of July and the summer. Kass was in the parade on a float with her primary group. We spent the early afternoon in the city festivities. The kids enjoyed the water slide and the games. We had a bbq at Heath and Jens. We took Kassy's horse to the vet because his eye was swollen The vet diagnosed him with moon blindness. we are treating him and hoping that he is ok. We ate our first tomato yesterday. it was about the size of a quarter, but it was awfully yummy. We are anxiously awaiting the peaches and tomatos.

Disappointing news

Our Birthfather has appealed the judges decision to revoke his parental rights. We are, of course, disappointed. We are looking forward to having this process over. We would appreciate all of your prayers. There is not a court date set. We will let you know.
