Day 6: I am thankful for an amazing family that I married into. My mother-in-law is wonderful. She has been in Germany for the last 3 weeks and got home today. I have missed her and I am looking forward to talking with her in the coming days.
(William, Will, me, Augustin & Theogene- my family for 2 weeks) At the beginning of November, I started my Christmas wishlist. This year, I thought Will and I should get a "family" gift. My thought was a Wii. We had talked about it a couple of times but no decision was made. We were going to think about it because I was going to start working part-time and we didn't want to over extend ourselves. Fast forward to two and a half weeks later. Will & I were able to host a couple of boys from the Asante Children's Choir. These boys were loving, entertaining, and wonderful. (I have written about them in previous posts.)

It is difficult to realize and say because who wants to admit that they are failing. Not me! How are you failing you might ask....well let me tell you how and why I think I am failing. Reason 1: I am failing at this blog. My last post was over a year ago. I don't think that that is very successful. So I give myself a FAIL on this blog. Maybe I will start to get better, but as of right now I am not holding out hope. Reason 2: I am failing as a mother. I am a foster-adopt mom to two kiddos that we are in the process of adopting and it has been the hardest thing I have ever done. They both come with different behaviors and currently I am the "bad" guy and the kids so no
