~A simple photo~

I took some photos of the kids.
Not as easy as it sounds.
My camera seems to be going down hill too.
I did get a few I like.
 
I keep going back to this photo.
Seems like there should be one more kid
standing in the back behind Alayna.
Just a weird empty spot.
 
The three big girls look happy.
Mason looks like a tough boy who doesn't want his picture taken.
Alayna looks like she is ready to get the heck out of the park.

And here it is. The Fab 5 at their finest!
This is truly what life is like in the Wynn house!
I love them all and wouldn't trade any of them.

~Mason's outfit~

Someone on our local garage sale site has this little outfit for sale. It reminded me of Mason and I just knew I had a photo. He had such a hard time leaving on the bus yesterday. He was crying and telling me he didn't want to go. I tried so hard not to cry. Then today it was the best day ever. He walked up to the steps of the bus and turned around and waved at me. Its so hard to make him go when he is having a bad day. I know though its good for both of us. His teachers are so wonderful. They let him bring his stuffed puppy to school so he has a comfort item. He calls the puppy Nacho. The bus aide who buckles the kids always greets both Mason and Nacho!
 
He is only about 3 weeks old in these two photos!
To think now he is 5.
Yikes, the time goes by way too fast.

~Registered and Dance~

I registered on Friday afternoon on a site for adopting children. There was a child I wanted to inquire about. So as quickly as I could I went through all the steps and got registered. I had to write a huge paper on who the Wynn's are. It was basically a shorter version of the home study that our Social Worker did. I had to include things like were Danny and I grew up, any siblings we have, favorite things to do alone and with the family, who our children are, what we do for a living. I could not include details of the children's actual birthdays (just how old) or the specifics of us being middle or upper class. So I did that and I also contacted our Social Worker to give her a heads up. Well already today just being a couple days later our information has been accepted. However the child I wanted to inquire about has had a change in status and his information is no longer available. Hopefully that means he has been matched with a family.


Maddison returned to dance class tonight. Alayna started her very first class. Jade also went back tonight (she's kind of too cool for a photo). We will see which of the three get to go back next week... Alayna cried most of the time if Danny or I weren't standing right next to her but she said she wants to go back. The teacher and I agreed we'd try it next week and see how it goes. Maddison was so crabby when we got home it was unbelievable. When I went to pick Jade up she snapped at me when I asked if she was almost done (gotta love the attitude of a 12 year old). So we will see. I don't think they realize how lucky they are that I make this work for them. 3 girls in dance is not really the cheapest thing. I feel though no matter how many kids we have they deserve to be in at least one thing so I make this work.

Maddison and Alayna
with the new bird Blueberry!

~Just nothing~

There really isn't anything to report. I suppose in a way that's good.

What is that saying? No news is good news.
