The Otte's

It was a fun, busy weekend!

Isaiah and I went to a wedding, and it was beautiful, then we got to his dance competition that was running early with about 5 minutes before he went on.

 

 Isaiah had his final dance competition!  It went great.

 I though this shirt was great and I want one.

 We had to celebrate with Red Lobster after a great competition season.

 Chrissy took the girls to the Make a Wish party and they had fun.

 They played lots of games.

John had to work and had the pleasure of hanging with our foster care kiddo.

I've said it before, but doing foster care is emotional.

There are amazing things that happen.  Seeing how he has grown and matured.

Seeing how my kids interact with him, with love and care.

Seeing him interact with them sharing so much love.

It is amazing!

It is also exhausting having so many people outside of our family 

try to micromanage things, when they do not have the whole picture.

Thankfully we have a couple great caseworkers who have our back.

We know that foster care with this special kiddo will be done this summer, so we are working hard to love him and take the best care of him now, knowing we only have a few months left to care for him.

Any of you thinking this is something you can do, please do it, so many kids need us to share our love with them.  It's not always easy, but is so very worth it!
