My dad was home for a bit of time before he had to leave again on June 1. We got to have two dinners with him while Mom was in St. Louis. He took care of Jill for us when we took a day trip to Mt. St. Helens. That was amazing! We hope to hike to the rim of the crater this summer. I will post pictures of that here.
We've been getting back to working out seriously these last couple of weeks which has been tiring but leaves me feeling so much better! John got me a great book about lifting and has workouts which utilize several muscle groups rather than ones that just isolate muscles (like bicep curls).
Some exciting news for us is that by mid-July, we should be foster care licensed! Our licensor, Betzy, came to our house last Thursday for a walk through. She checked for the requirements of a foster home--fire extinguisher, potty chair, meds locked up, etc. We had most of the things we needed, but figured we'd get the list from her so that we weren't just guessing on some things. This week we plan to get our finger prints taken, and I need a TB test. Jill girl is up to date on her shots and was quite entertaining during the walk through. John was talking to Betzy in another part of the house when Jill started ringing the bell on the back door to go outside. Betzy got a kick out of that and planned to tell people back at the office about the bell ringing dog. :)
On Sunday we picked up a very nice crib and changing table/dresser which I found on Craigslist. It's a great set and was only $70!
After that we headed down the road to Bothell to visit John's grandpa, Bernard Dion. He had some medical emergencies recently and is now living with Annette and Don, John's aunt and uncle. Grandpa Dion will be 96 in July! He is so sweet and is ready to go whenever God calls him. It was so good to sit and talk with him for the afternoon and evening. He was telling us about his parents and siblings and about things back in the day. We look forward to seeing Grandpa next week or so.
