Thankful for blessings, saddened by loss

I just found out today that the executive director of Homes 4 Good (where I worked for 3 1/2 years) passed away on Monday after a long battle with cancer. She and her husband were amazing to me. They started Homes 4 Good to help find forever home for children. Charlotte and Rick hired me when I was 6 months pregnant with Jacob and treated me like family. Who hires someone when they are 6 months pregnant? I was able to work from home and be at home with my kids. I was given 3 months paid maternity leave when I had Hannah. Rick and Charlotte made it possible for me to be at home with my kids and work at a job I was extremely passionate about at the same time. I will forever by grateful to them and all those I worked with at Homes 4 Good for those 3 1/2 years. I am also thankful for the support they offered when I decided I should quit to be at home 100 % when I had Elizabeth. Please pray for the Charlotte's husband, Rick, and her son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren, as well as her parents and sister. I am thankful that she is no longer in pain and that she is in Heaven face to face with our Lord and Savior.

For Nana

Okay, I know I stink at updating my blog. I actually have a lot to update on from this last month, but just for now, this post is for Nana. She being a grandmother who lives out of town asks me all the time to put pictures of the kids up on the blog so she can see them. I fail at this most of the time, so Nana, this picture was taken just for you and the kids knew why we were taking it! They smile at the same time, can you believe it? We love you Nana and hope you like our picture. More updates later!
