Wyatt went to the Farm....

You will see some unusual pictures on this post I can promise..... Wyatt, Justin, and I went to Texas last weekend to see my nephews play football, and we were fortunate to be able to stay at the "Farm". It is a comfortable farm house, where the sun wakes you( because there are no blinds) or some times Ricky the rooster gets it done first......... We enjoyed playing with the animals. We had a pet deer, pet cow, and pet ass to amuse us! Wyatt is trying decide if he is more amused by the pet deer, or the fact that his Granna is kissing the pet deer. Seriously, who else has a pet deer, or pet cow for that matter, with names?!?!?!? Only, at the Farm......... Wyatt, really enjoyed the chicken house, we were discussing if we could get one in our backyard, or would the neighbors complain? Also, pictured is my Uncle Wayne( he is with the pet A**), and Wayne you owe me big for not putting the other picture of you and the A**on this blog. If you are looking at the tractor and wondering, what is so special about this picture, look close there is a goat on the top, and Justin thought this needed to be captured on film. We had a great time in Texas last weekend, and Wyatt even learned two new words TEXAS, and Granna. It sounded so sweet to hear him say those words, for more than one reason!

P.S

I agree with what Molly said in the comment section of my last post, and thought I should explain. No Doubt I will cry about returning a child............. But, it is not about me and all about God and his children. My concern was about being so depressed that I would not want to take care of Wyatt. I did not want this experience to put me in to such a deep depression that I could not recover from the experience. I know all to well about grieving, after all I have been in Hospice for the past 3 years, and see families have to say good bye to loved ones all the time. I even checked on our foster form that we would take a child with a terminal illness, I have such a strong support system within my hospice family that should a child need Justin, and I then we want to be there for that little one........ Thanks for praying, and continuing to check in on my family!

It has been to long.........

No pictures to post ( because my camera battery is dead), and besides I am technically challenged to get the pictures uploaded. But, I felt like I have keep everyone in suspense about the World of the Meacham's for to long. Wyatt is doing good, we had our first daycare accident last Friday, and Ms. Chris called me at work. Wyatt fell and bumped his head, it swelled pretty good, but after I spoke to the Dr's office decided I did not need to take him in. It is bruised!!!!! I am sure that will be the first of many to come........... Also, we submitted all of our paperwork last week for the Foster program, and today I got the schedule of when the classes will be offered, we have to complete 27 hours of training. We should have all of our hours completed by the first part of November! I am nervous about this program, but I believe, and have Faith. Let me explain.......... a couple of years ago we got a dog that we were to give to my grandaddy, and after we got the dog home, my grandad became ill and passed away. We had only had the dog for about 3 weeks, my Uncle said he would take the dog, and we said, "Great". The night before the exchange I was sitting quietly, and my Uncle asked me what was wrong. I started crying, and explained I could not get rid of Joani, we loved her already. So we kept Joani, and she has been a great companion for my family ever since. Justin is worried that the same thing will happen with a child! I have explained my heart to Justin and several others and basically it is FAITH, something I can not touch, but I feel it. I have faith God did not bring us to this opportunity, for me to struggle with returning a child( if that is suppose to happen). I believe that I will have peace about the process, and that I will not be sad, depressed, or cry for years over this child. We are doing this because I feel really strongly that if we can change the future for one child, and give one child a different start to life then this was what we were called to do. We have a loving, stable home and what I have learned this summer is that a 1st year in a child's life is a very, very important year! Please pray for us as we complete the classes to become foster parents, and that I have the strength to remain strong, and calm along this path that we have been placed on.
