Some more news...

We have recently found out that some of the biological fathers' family has decided to come forward to adopt some of the kids. We now don't even know if Gabby will still be moving in with us. Also something was said about Manny being moved to live with the fathers' son, yes i know, he has 3 older kids from a previous relationship. Peter and I have decided that we will be periodically fasting for the boys, not necessarily for them to stay with us (although that's what we want), but for whatever's best for them. We'll be fasting every Sunday and probably some days in between. If anyone would like to join in we would really appreciate it. All we really ask is that you keep the boys in your hearts and prayers. We love you all and thank you so much for all of your support! Peter, Lindsay, Manny and Angel

Shannon's first tri-athalon

Shannon completed her first tri-athalon today and loved it. She did great and one of the first things she said when she was done was that she wanted to do more. She is in great shape and looks and feels good. I need to get into shape to keep up. I run about once about every two weeks. I think that should do it.

We did it!!!

well i finally graduated. it is a fantastic feeling to be done. i want to thank all of you for your support during this long and difficult time. My degree is a B.S.E. in Civil Engineering. i am taking a couple of weeks off before i go to work at Kiewit Western Co. they are a large Heavy Civil Construction company that has worked on projects like the light rail, the widening of the US 60 between Florence junction and Superior, the water treatment plant in Gilbert and lots of other stuff. right now i am enjoying fishing, spending time with my wife and boys and in-laws as they are here right now and will be until the beginning of June. we will be taking a trip up north next week to SLC, Idaho, Yellowstone, Glacier, etc. they have always wanted to see that part of the country. this is all thanks to a generous graduation gift from Granny. so for those of you living up there i will be in touch and let you know what our schedule is like. maybe we can get together. this is what is going on in my life.

Just a special thanks to Rieko. i know you all know that i would not have been able to complete my degree with out her gentle pushing. so thank you sweetheart i can't say enough in gratitude. i love you.

see you all later. Spencer

Some distressing news...

We got a call from CPS today and evidently the Aunt of the kids has decided that she wants to adopt Jasmine. Also their other Aunt has decided that she would like to adopt Brittany. So this means that Jasmine and Brittany are probably not going to be moving in with us. But for some crazy reason no one is stepping forward to take Gabby so CPS still wants to work on transitioning her to live with us. So although we won't have all five of the kids, as of right now, we still might get 1 more. We'll know more about it after the next CFT which is the 23rd and we'll definately keep you posted. Thanks for all of your continued prayers, love and support.

Granny's Cabin

The cabin is in the very lower left hand corner right above the "nt" in Pointer. Olathe is labeled in the top of the picture and Montrose in right at the "50" at the center right of the picture.


Just in case anybody gets lost or has forgotten what it looks like here are some pictures of Granny's cabin.
