The Journey of One Extraordinary Middle Child and his 2 Siblings

Ryder is my middle child. He is 6 years old. Ryder loves being silly. He loves chocolate. He celebrates his individuality.
I hope you enjoy his view of the world as much as I do.

Meet Will



Family and friends, meet Will.  This summer we had the opportunity to get to know Will.  He's 15, and high school freshman and a great kid.  He likes football, girls, basketball, baseball, orange soda, girls (did I mention he's 15?), the University of Alabama, playing drums, and drawing.  

When Leah was born, the beds were full in our household.  But guess what?  Sometimes you have to get another bed.  Will was in need of a place to live and we are now officially that place.  I have had a lot of "titles" in my life, but now I can add Foster Mom to the list.  Luke and I never imagined that this is a path we would take, but sometimes God drops a teenager in your lap to let you know He has other plans.

Will has only officially been with us a week, but I have already learned a lot about teenagers.  I know it is possible to send 1,300 texts in three days.  I know what it means to post a TBH on your Instagram or a RDH on Facebook.  (If you don't know what I am talking about, don't worry - You are probably not a teenager or do not have one in the house.)  

Wondering what the other three kiddos think of Will?  They think he's great!  But for them, life has pretty much continued as usual.  I hope you all have the opportunity to meet Will in person.  If not, just Facebook him.  I'm sure he's online right now.
