We have been looking into doing foster care for over a year now, and on Tuesday we finally got our first children. They are 2 sisters, Samantha and Krystyna. They are 1 and 2 (almost 2 and 3) They are adorable and I have thoroughly enjoyed them, even though I am tired and exhausted. Tomorrow is supposed to be 50's and rainy. Yuck. No going to garage sales:(

I am excited to share our experience with you.

We just got home from camping this Memorial Day weekend. We camped with Bro Mike and Sis Nicole. It was great. We went on walks, had a dog bite incident, enjoyed the hospitality of strangers at the camp next door, endured the major drama of another neighbor, made smore's (of course), had great visits including after church on Sunday whe we got visitors, and had a great time watching the guys try to start a fire without a match. They tried rubbing sticks together, they made a bow contraption that did a lot of smoking, and they even found some foil to attach to batteries; but after hours and hours and hours... they finally gave up to do more investigating before the next camping trip/fire convention. The park ranger also offered advice on the subject, but to no avail.

We had a great time! I was happy with how my meal planning turned out. I cooked breakfast and dinner. I used a new griddle that went across both burners of my camp stove and made cooking soooo much easier. Pancakes were at one end and bacon at the other. It also came in handy for the peppers and onions on our fajitas, our hamburgers, and even the impromptu trout cooking when Isaiah brought in a fish.

So now back to the real world...Hmmm I wonder what I should fix for dinner...
