This past weekend was Mother's Day.  We spent the weekend preparing things for our garden.  We had a really great time.  I forgot how much peace just being outside in the sunshine and working the land can bring.  We were blessed to find materials for a raised garden bed that we could use in our front yard. 



We planted 2 tomato plants and tomato seeds, 1 green pepper plant and green pepper seeds, jalapeno seeds, sage seeds, spinach seeds, 2 strawberry plants and 1 strawberry seed, raspberry plant, 1 oregano plant, 1 basil plant, 6 garlic cloves.  We are praying it will yield a beautiful garden! 

 



I think this project was important yesterday because it is yet another Mother's Day where we don't have our babies at home.  We pray that this time next year that we will have little ones to help us in his new annual tradition of planting a sweet little garden! 

Still no word from the case worker or foster mother.  This is the 3rd Monday since we sent out the questions so with each passing day the wait for answers gets harder and harder.  If we don't hear today I will contact our worker and ask her to contact the kids' worker to check in and see if we can get things rolling. 

I looked at a Graduate Degree program today.  Just something else to keep me busy while I wait...and to also hopefully prepare me for the future so that I am more marketable and will have a job to be able to support the kiddos we finally bring home.  We shall see...
