Colds - Not exactly!

It seems I have bronchitis and everyone else have minor colds! YUCK!! I am headed back to the Dr. tomorrow because after 4 full days of antibiotics I am still not headed in the right direction. I am not worse but I am not getting better either. :o(

Please pray we all get better soon!

Blessings,
Melanie

3 under 3

Fostering is definitely a challenge but when you have 3 under 3 you are not kidding it is challenging!! What blessings each is though!!

Logan has a heart of gold and is so eager to please! He is trying to get potty training down and is so excited! His favorite thing in the whole wide world is Thomas the train.

Landon has a cheerful heart and always has a smile on is face! Landon is trying to use some words, well we are trying to get him to use his words! He loves monkeys which is a good thing because he is a silly monkey!

Alyssa is a joy! We are trying to get a schedule and learn what this little chubpetta likes! Amazing how much she has grown in 11 days! her little feet did not touch the ground in her excersaucer when we got her but they sure do now! No wonder we didn't sleep through the night last night!

Just keep praying for these beautiful children!

Blessings,
Melanie

OH MY GOODNESS!!

Meet Alexander and Alaya!! Yes, they are twins, yes they are between the ages of 18 months and 3 years and yes they are African American. This is quite an answer to prayer for our kids (and Steve and I admit, we certainly would LOVE to adopt these two!) I am not sure what God has in store for our family but if he answers our prayers we might be adding these two beautiful babes to the Colson clan!

The children were placed on the MI site yesterday, July 1, we put our inquiry in last night and had a response this morning! They already had our home study pulled. Whatever shall we do? Pray without ceasing, that is what we are going to do!

Thanks for standing with us!!

We have a web page now too... Most of our family is technologically challenged so Facebook does not work for them. You can see our kids, adoption/foster children and... just go to www.colsonjams.com I might warn you, we are under construction as a web page and family! May the Lord build us a great family!!!

Blessings,
Melanie
