Mia and Her New Peeps


Today, the Wilt and Wilson families came over to see Mia for the first time. That meant there were 6 children in our house all 3 years old and younger. It was CRAZY!! But we all had a GREAT time. Mia just sat back and watched everyone. She really liked playing with Griffin. After dinner the kids headed to the pirate pool where they had a blast splashing and playing with Ethan's sea creatures. It is going to be so fun watching all of our kids grow up together!

Ethan today also proved that yes indeed he is all boy. He picked is nose, then decided he didn't want the booger out of his nose. Then he tried to shove it back in his nose. Luckily I caught him trying to shove it back in and stopped it. I'm afraid of what's going to end up there next!!

On a more serious note, we got an email from Mia's Foster Mom, Zoila. She did have her surgery on June 11. It didn't go as well as we had hoped for. She found out she has stage 3 cancer. I am begging for prayers from you. This woman is an incredible gift from God to us. She took care of Mia for almost 12 months, putting her own health aside because she didn't want to give up caring for Mia. This news has broken my heart. Zoila has a scan scheduled for July 2, and I pray that we hear good news.

Mia's foster Mom and K's birthmom share the same name. I will definitely keep her in my prayers.

Prayers to her foster mother. They really are wonderful people taking care of our great kids. Sad to hear that this is happening, but good to know that there are people praying all over for her!
