Since Mother's Day...

Wow!  The month of May has come and gone and I don't even know where it went.  I've been playing part-time mom to my nephews and nieces, by cooking for them and going to their house early in the morning and getting them off to school.  It's a complicated story, but a year ago, Tom & I went to the courthouse to witness my brother-in-law & sister-in-law adopt 6 children they had been fostering for a few years.  The kids' age range from 3 to 11 and this is not including my sister-in-law's three children from a previous relationship.  I know this is complicated!!!  Well, my sister-in-law has become an "inactive" mother ( I don't know how else to say it politely.),  leaving my brother-in-law with all the kids.  Tom's mom has been living there and has been great for the kids. My heart goes out to them.  The kids really need a full time mother and father to love and nurture these kids.  I pray that they will get back together and want to be parents to these kids and husband & wife to each other. It will take a miracle and only God can  perform miracles!

One weekend I had Serena and Arianna over for the weekend.  It was a really hot weekend which is perfect for the pool!

I think they would spent the whole day in the pool if I let them.  After swimming I took them to Nubi's, haircuts, shopping for shoes and an outfit.  It's okay if Aunt Dawn spoils them a little!
We had a great time!
