Sorry it has been so long since I posted. Life has been busy around here. I only have a few minutes this morning to post. Donavan is back a sleep; Darrin and Zack are hunting this morning. They should be back here very shortly. Our Christmas was wonderful. It was our first Christmas with children and God truly blessed us. Darrin is doing well (I will fill everyone in later on his spinal stenosis diagnosis). Well Zack is doing fine. He finally finished up his homebound tutoring afterschool this past week from missing so much from his surgery in October. He is very proud his grades are back up again. He has been such a joy to us and especially Darrin. Donavan is growing so fast. He will be 7 months old tomorrow. He truly has a personality. It amazes us to watch him. He loves Zack very much too!! Well the latest on Donavan: They decided to wait until March to pursue termination due to a delayed court date for biomom's treatment plan. She stil visits on and off however she still has not cleaned up her life yet. Her brother did move down and her mom is suppost to be down in Feb. I must say I'm not too comfortable with that. However I know God is good and faithful. He has all of this. Well I'm sure most are feeling the pressure of the economic downfall going on. Please know you are all in our prayers. We also ask you to keep us in your prayers. Darrin and I are facing alot with finances right now and the added pressures from Donavan's situation. Yet God keeps telling me to keep the faith and trust Him!!! Well Darrin and I are going to our first Foster Care Association meeting today. We are joining and we also get some of our training with them. Donavan will be going with us. He is still to young to know what they are speaking about. Zack will be spending several hours with mom today.(pray for her!!! ha ha ha) She loves him to death!! Zack was able to spend a few nights out at Darrin's parents over the holidays! He had a blast. Well got to go and get ready. Love you all!! Dobin
