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!

The last family dinner

Dinner at Lorenzo's after their family visit

A day with Cookie

 A visit to Elyria's North Branch Library

 

Then we went to see a movie, the Lego Movie.  We loved the movie!  I think Cookie and foster mom took a nap.  Everything is AWESOME!  Can you see Cookie in this picture?

 

 

Lunch at Ruby Tuesday

 

 

 A great day for all

Cascade park

Aaron took us to Cascade Park this morning while our foster Mom slept in.  We got to see a rive and a waterfall.  We love taking pictures and posing silly.  We had fun!

 

We walked around Ely Park in downtown Elyria too.

Hersey's ice cream

Our foster Dad really loves his ice cream.  We got to have some again this week.

Pierogies and sausage

 Cookie came for a visit.  We watched a movie and had dinner.  Yum!

Ice cream and a movie

Since we were good boys this week, we got to have dinner and ice cream at Dairy Queen before seeing a movie!  Happy, happy day!

Since we are small we get our own booster seats to help us see the huge screen.

 

Quick Lisa, the movie is starting!

Fixing my eye glasses

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Our foster Dad took us out for dinner with Aunt Tina, Kyle and Uncle Mikey.  Everything was the color green.  We had a good time!

Going to college

Tonight Lisa took us to college where she works to see her student workers give a presentation about Filipinos.  Our foster Mom is part Filipino.  After the speeches we got to try some Filipino food for dinner.  It was yummy!  All the college students were very nice to us and thought we were very cute and well behaved.  That made foster Mom really proud!  Foster Dad too!

We love Mexican food!

Aaron took us to lunch after a walk around Oberlin town.  Foster mom was with us too.

Children Services Update: Meeting social worker #3

Lisa:  This process is getting crazier.  Their second case worker is moving on to a promotion position so the boys are getting another case worker... their 3rd!  Poor Jacqueline has little to no knowledge of this family's history and is probably getting many stories from all parties involved.  She seemed overwhelmed but caring enough.  I hope she does a better job than the current one!

Nachos and salsa

 Having some Mexican for dinner

Boys day.. cruising Oberlin

 Waiting for our foster Mom to finish her appointment.  We walked around Oberlin.

Our foster Mom is going to mad that Jace is sticking out his tongue in our pictures.  She said it ruins our pictures.  We are cute just the way we are.
