Museum Trip

This coming week is Brandon's 5th birthday! I can't believe that he was only 18 months old when I had him in foster care... He still has the exact same goofy grin as when he was a baby! It's now been 6 months since the kids have come to live with me in Florida and it's been incredible! Everyone says how I must be a saint to do foster care, etc., but I wish they would realize it's not as hard as they might think and it's really amazing how much kids can grow and change in just a relatively small period of time. I couldn't be prouder of "my" kids!

For Brandon's birthday, "Big B's" sister came down from Iowa and today we went up to the South Florida Museum in Bradenton. We are all very worn out now, but I got a huge hug and a "thank you, thank you, thank you" as we left after a morning of imax movies, treasure hunting, manatee watching and general insanity!

The picture at the top is when we joined the native Floridians for a brief visit! And yes, Oscar, those are my birks I'm wearing! :) LOL!
