It's been awhile....
I have not been blogging in so long. There has been a lot going on in the Williams house since Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas, we went up to Reno. We stayed at a hotel with Sharon and Grandma "O". We also spent a lot of time with Craig, Meredith, Marissa, Jared, Grandpa John and Grandma Diane. We had so much fun seeing them. They all embraced our foster son Chris. Chris had never had such a Christmas before. It was really special for all of to be a part of it. We played lots of games, ate lots of yummy food and saw Alvin the chipmunks movie. It was so fun!
Today is Valentines day.... We were placed with another foster child this last Tuesday. Her name is Liz and she is 16. She has a sad story. It breaks my heart to hear the stories that she tells me. I pray with her every night hoping that she will find some peace in her heart. She has a lot of hurt, she cries all of the time.
She already calls me "Mom" which is kind of weird. She also hugs on me a lot. I know that we learned that children who have attachement issues either latch onto you to much or not at all. I am letting her even though it feels strange to me. I don't want her to feel rejected by me
Her mother hits her and tells her that she does not love her. I can't believe that. It makes me feel so sad for her. No child should ever have to endure that kind of pain. Last night she told me that she does not want to ever love again. It hurts her to much. So sad....
We have had a good day today, we woke up to breakfast made by Bryan :) he's so sweet! He also made me a homemade card with my scrapbook stuff. It was so cute that he went into my scrapbook room and used my things to make it.
We got all of the kids Valentines stuffed animals and candy..... They all loved it. Then we headed for church. It is a beautiful day today here in the desert. 82 degrees
Chase just got his 2nd report card for the year and got straight A's again. We are so PROUD of him and his accomplisments. He is such a great little boy. We are so blessed to have him as our son. He excepts these children into our homes and shares his mommy and daddy with no problem. It pleases us so much
On Tuesday John and Diane are coming to visit us for four days. It will be so wonderful to see them. They have not yet been out here to our new home and to see what we do is all about. I hope to have a fun weeekend with them. Bryan has to work, but they will get to spend time with Chase and the other kids. Happy Valentines day to you all
