We took the girls to Monkey Business for our family fun day today. They have bounce houses, big slides, climbing structures, etc. The girls had been asking all week so today was the day! They had a great time and had worked up a sweat by the end!
I am a biological, adoptive and former foster mom (for 8 yrs) all rolled into one. This is a place for me to journal/scrapbook the happenings in our life. We are currently adjusting to our new normal after adding three new little ones to our family in Sept. 2012 though adoption from the foster system.
I love to hear from you! Please feel free to leave a comment or e-mail us at... ksfostermomdad@yahoo.com.
