The heat of summer

Here we are in the heat of summer. The kids and I are enjoying short times outside, or running through the sprinkler. We're also very happy to be in a neighborhood now. I can take walks with the kids during the day, and we've started biking together as a family in the evenings. Our former house was on a busy, curvy road, so walks and bike rides involved loading everyone in the car to drive to a subdivision. (Drive so you can walk - ha ) The kids are getting older. Star is now 18 months. She is fearless. She loves to climb and run. She thinks she can do everything the boys can do (and a lot, she can do!) Logan is approaching 3. He'll be 3 in 2 1/2 months. How did that happen? Have we really had him that long? (He joined our family just after his 2nd birthday.) Charlie is almost 4 1/2. He is starting to learn about letters. He loves to "read" books, draw, color, and build with blocks. Trevor is in another foster home now. He's been gone 3 months. It is hard to say goodbye to a foster child.

So glad you're enjoying your new home. We have a quiet road, but it's very short, so we've never had a place to ride bikes, either. I miss that. I can't imagine haven't to say goodbye to kids you've grown to love. You have a brave heart. Letitia
