Children Services Update: Back to their birth family

Lisa:  Today Zaiden, Jace, Daniel and Elijah move back home with their birth parents.  We will miss them very much and will always love them.  Be nice to everyone, boys!

Aaron's last visit

Lisa:  Aaron went over to see the boys one last time before they leave to go home to their family.  They were so excited that they will be with their mommy but asked if they can come and visit us sometime.  What a tough day for us.

Park and zoo visit

 

Our foster parents took us out today.  First we went to Bur Oak Park to ride our bike and scooter.

 

 It was lunchtime so we went for some pizza.  We got silly taking pictures with Aaron. 

Next they took me to the eye glass store to repair my bent glasses.  We will miss flying in the air, with Aaron's help.

Finally we drove to the Zoo for our last visit together.

 

 We didn't want to leave our toys this morning but we are glad we did.  We had so much fun with Aaron and Lisa.

 

Bittersweet goodbye... again

Lisa:  Aaron took the day off so he could bring the boys to their temporary home for the next couple of weeks.  It just so happens to be our friends who are also fostering-to-adopt that are taking them in.  The transition should be smoother than going to a complete stranger-foster home like the agency originally planned.  The boys know them as Aunt Nikki and Uncle Dave.  Aaron helped the boys move all their toys and clothes over and stayed with them for awhile so they could get use to their new space.  At the end they cried for Aaron, and he had to make a good night call to the boys so they could settle down.  But we trust that our friends will do what's best for the boys and we will give them the space to do so.  Since I hate good-byes I didn't go; I went to work to take my mind off of the sad situation.

Love you Zaiden and Jace!  Be good!
