The Otte's

Another day, another doctor appointment.

Quinn saw Dr. Martin, our heart doctor.  Every time she says Quinn is a little miracle and she is doing so much better then expected.  We believe God has a plan and we are thankful for her good health.  Dr. Martin went as far as to say things look better then last year, so we will take it and be grateful!

The girls were there for each other the whole time.

Even leaving, I was left in the dust.

Sometimes I think I am just along to drive,

and it warms my heart seeing them love each other.

 More dance practices, and we even got tears out of Miss Stephanie.  

Oh the dance is good!  So good!

 we had time for haircuts and oil changes, 7th grade doctor check up!  Ugg next year is 7th grade. 

 Got our toes done with Grandma.  Went walking around the mall.  Saw a movie.

Had our favorite foods.

 Therapies

We still have our foster kiddo, who also had appointments and fun experiences.

I found this saying on a friends page and had to share.

Even at church this Sunday, we talked about the courage it takes to have a family that is not the norm.

We don't do anything normal, and we are good with that.

It takes courage to do foster care, it's by far made our family the wonderful family it is and we are so thankful.

So we keep trying to do our best, we continue to be judged, we continue to be questioned, and

we continue to love all our kids up.

We are tired but we are trying to live a life that when we look back, we can say,

we did our part.  We know there is always more to do, but for now,

we feel like we are doing our part, and so we are grateful!
