Day 1 with us
Trekking the property with Josh and meeting "Patches"
Bad Weather Day - no school - so we aquadoodled at home :-)
Big Brother seemed happy to sleep ANYWHERE
Little Sister's comfy spot
Hiking with Daddy Josh at Buckner
Can barely see their silhouettes at the top
Makes me wanna whistle the Andy Griffith theme song
feeding wildlife (the very domesticated park ducks)
At the Rodeo with Poppy and Nana
Time with GiGi
Listening to music (a little too close?)
Visiting PawPaw Otter- complete with many attractions:
his awesome property with pond,
nearby aquarium/fish hatchery,
and toy closet to explore with Aunt Christie
When Poppy and Gigi visited, we went to our local airfield and museum
Pushing Little Sister around the track after school.
Mom realized it was better to park and walk to school to pick up Big Brother
rather than wait in a car line forever
Second visit to PawPaw Otters (on our trip to Galveston)
PawPaw had an "auction" so that Big Brother could spend his hard-earned money
He mostly wanted a telescope...and he got it!
He out-bid Aunt RayRay and won it for $15!
Little Sister...
Also one to sleep anywhere and in any position
fishing at Buckner with daddy Josh
GiGi and Big Brother playing "Noah's Ark"
During Poppy and GiGi's 4th of July visit, we took Big Brother
to a RC Airshow. He actually got to fly a remote control airplane himself!
(With the help of a professional with a master control, lol)
(Below) Big Brother sure loved visiting the library
as a reward and fun errand. He really enjoyed the kids' computer
My grandparents paid for us to take Big Brother to the Austin Childrens Museum,
the Thinkery, during one of Josh's Austin doctors visits. The Museum is right across the street
from Dell Childrens Hospital where Josh has dr appointments.
It was a BLAST!
Big Brother loved the water room!
Josh and I were so impressed with the museum that we're
determined to take ALL our future foster kids there too!
Most wonderful note I've ever received.
A letter from the Birth-Mom! (just a week or two before reunification)
One last visit from GiGi -
included trips to the park, thrift store, restaurants, etc
Good memories!
2 Days till the kids leave!
Big Brother was excited about going home...
AND having a "Thanksgiving/Reunification Party"!
Truly prepared to go out and fight the battle for Christ.
His favorite hymn?
"SOUND THE BATTLE CRY"!
