Ashleigh and Aidan
Most of you know that a while ago Joe and I asked you all to pray for our friends Matt and Jenn who were trying to adopt their foster kids Aidan and Ashleigh. Well the judge ruled to give the kids back to their mother even though the kids had been with our friends for almost 2 years and it had been and the mom was seen as very unfit and it was supposed to be a slam dunk case of the mom not getting them back ever. That was back in December...today on the news it appears the mom has taken off with the kids against court order and is headed up North somewhere. I know God has a reason for all things but right now all I am thinking is that the judge that gave them back to their mom should be fired! But what is needed is prayer that Ashleigh and Aidan are found safe and brought back to FL. where they can at least be checked in on. Please keep them in your prayers and also Matt and Jenn as I know they are very upset by this whole thing.

Wow it has been a long time!
So it has been way too long since I posted anything new but frankly I have been busy! We had way too much to fill you in with everything but I will fill you in on the big points.
We (the kids, me and my parents) went to TN for a week last month. It was awesome I got to see my sister and her adorable little girl because they drove from TX to meet us there. Unfortunatly Joe and David had to work and couldn't come with us so it was just us girls with our little babies but it was really fun. Caden has so much fun with Anna and Casey enjoyed it too but of course she is slower and a bit more timid than Caden and Anna. Mom and Dad took Heidi and I to the mall on one of the days and had us get pedicures!!! It was so great and they watched the kids at the play area in the mall of course while we got them. We also got to see Aunt Janet, Uncle Larry and Ty while in TN and Caden just LOVES Ty. So in all it was super fun and I just wish Joe could have come too.
Joe had Spring Break last week! I was so excited to get to see more of him. Of course I ended up having to have some tests done for my stomach (ick)on Monday and then Joe got sick on the last day (which was this past Monday) but in between we had a blast. Joe weeded the front area for me and ripped down the wall so we can start planting flowers soon. We took the kids to Oakridge Middle to play in the Gym while Joe did some grading. Let me tell you that was so much fun watching them run around and play with everything. Caden is now a fantastic somersalter : ) On Wednesday we took the kids to the zoo and we really had fun there. Joe hadn't been to the zoo since Caden was like 2 months old! Joe took me out to lunch on Thursday and we met Matt and Jenn at Chilis which was nice and then we went shopping for the kids Easter basket stuff. It was awesome having Joe with me to join in on that stuff since usually he has to work and I buy everything and just show him what we got them.
The weekend was crazy with Easter and the Easter Egg Party. On Saturday I watched Alyssa and Allison so our friends could move into their new house. I am so excited to have them so much closer now! Caden and Casey LOVED having the girls at the house and I have to say we had a really good time outside getting dirty and coloring with water and chalk. Then that night we had a Easter Egg Party where Honey and Papa come over and we colored eggs at Mom and Dad's house. Caden is all about Easter Eggs now. Easter Sunday we had breakfast with my parents and Honey and Papa then had a egg hunt before church. After Church we went to Lely Country Club and met Dad's side of the fam for dinner. We hadn't seen them for a long time so that was really nice!! I have to say I was proud of Caden and Casey because they didn't get a nap and were still really good and mostly quiet at the club.
I will post pictures once my computer will allow me for some reason it is protesting that process. Mom and Dad have headed to Disney for their anniversary so I will try to just go over there and use thier computer at some point : )
Sorry it is so long and I will try to keep up with the posts more often though I am pretty sure most everyone who would read this has facebook and already knows these things...
