contact from the grandma (Laura story)

The girls had moved out and we just found ways to adjust and cope with all of our change so. About 90 days after they left we received a call from their grandma Sanchez. She had asked us to meet her in Layton. This was the first time I had actually met her. She explained to us that the girls dad wasn't doing what he should and that she wanted us to adopt the girls. We told her it didn't work that way, but we would take them if the option was available.  She ended up doing what she needed to do and went to the state and reported their dad. We to this day firmly believe the reason we got the girls was because of that braved grandmother whose jeopardized her own relationship with her son for a better life for the girls. Two weeks after this happened the girls were placed back in our home. Then life started over again figuring out now what.

Family Pictures

We had the opportunity to get some family pictures taken in Feb. Our family pics were way overdue. The lady was running a 30 minute special. That sounds crazy, but honestly getting my family to cooperate longer than 30 minutes is not going to happen. Pictures are not a boys favorite thing. This was a very stress free photo session. We threw the outfits together 15 minutes before and tried to smile our best. Crazy how fast our family is growing.
