It's "Fomma's" Day, Ya'll!

This has been my first official Mother's Day with a baby in the house. Since I am fostering, and my mom decided I should be called "Fomma" (foster+momma), this holiday is officially called Fomma's Day at La Casa de Kacie!

Since today is the day to talk about how awesome your mom is, or how thankful you are to be a mom, I feel that I should follow suit.

For starters, my mom is the best. Yes, she is better than yours, or at least I think so. ;) She has been through so much, put up with so much, yet she has always tried her hardest to keep a smile on her face and a loving, supportive word for her kids. I cannot even imagine what my life would be like without her. I am so very much just like my mother. We are loud and tend to be outspoken. We love hard and fight hard for those we do love. We act alike, look alike and honestly, I can't think of anyone else that I would want to favor so strongly.

As for being a new "Fomma"...wow. I know I've said before that there are no words to explain it, but there really are not! I know this situation that I find myself in with this sweet baby boy could be only temporary, and I am preparing myself for that, but while I have Little Man I am going to act each day as if he were my own. In his almost 10 weeks of life, Little Man has experienced more love from myself, my friends and family, than most people do in a  lifetime. He has truly changed my life and I am so thankful to have the opportunity to "mother" him right now. I just simply cannot get enough of his preciousness!

My sweet parents took my cousin and I (with all of the kiddos) to and Arkansas Travelers game for a fun Mother's Day weekend trip! We had a blast!

My first babies!! Couldn't love them any more if I would have had them myself!

Love my Momma!

You can see my crazy Daddy hiding in the back, he doesn't do pictures! :/

Baby Boy's first baseball game!!

i'm back.

Life has been so crazy busy, I just had two seconds to sit down and realized that I have not blogged in like a month. A MONTH. How did that happen!?

Things have been so uber stressful with my job lately. I'm so not happy doing what I'm doing and I really feel like I should be doing other things BUT until those opportunities present themselves I have these little demonic things called bills that keep me locked up tight in this torture chamber called work. (And that was officially the longest sentence ever...my apologies.)

So, enough with the sad, depressing, makes me want to cry stuff.

In other news, in the last month my home was officially opened by DHS to allow me to foster kiddos! This still blows my mind, mostly because I'm a single 23 yr old girl that has no kids of my own, yet they trust me to love on these sweet babies. In the beginning I was only doing the classes and working to get my home opened to take in a sibling group in my community that had been split up. They have since returned home so I had decided to not take in any kids right now BUT I got a call about two weeks ago asking if I could take a sweet two week old baby boy. How can you say no to a gorgeous itty bitty?! Well, I couldn't, so now I'm "fomma" (my mothers creation.. foster + momma = fomma...don't ask) to the most cuddly, adorable, now three week old baby boy! I've had him for a week and a day and I can't even begin to explain how things have already changed for me, not just the obvious, but mentally and emotionally, things change so fast!

Keep this sweet baby and his bio family in your prayers, and remember me and my family also. It is so hard not to get attached, and I would be lying if I said this sweet little guy didn't already have me completely wrapped around his little finger!

We took Roxy and Baby Boy to the daffodil farm at Wye Mountain yesterday afternoon. Roxy loved it as usual (we have taken her every year for Easter pictures!) and Little Man was too sleepy to care. lol. (I would love to share pictures of him but since he is in DHS custody I can't post any. :( He's super cute though, you'll have to take my word for it!)
