Puter= Still Dead

Sigh, my puter is still dead.  SADFACE!  I know God is our provider, so He will work it out, but I would really like my puter back.  Mike said he can fix it, but he needs a special cord to do it, or take it somewhere an pay someone to much money to do what he can do it. 
We also need to buy a van.  We were really hoping to buy it out right and not have car payments, but it doesnt seem to be the way we are supposed to go.  SOOO as soon as we get some time (haha... thats the biggest obstacle we have been facing lately... lack of time), we are going to go van shopping. 
The girls, Kiki and Jay are still with us and adjusting well.  We had JoJo (their brother.. and thats their nickname for him, haha) from Wed until Monday, and then Wed evening for a few hours, and then he came Thursday night again, and he wont leave again until Monday evening!! With all 4 kids, there is a LOT of drama and attitudes and its driving us nuts, but his new family had a trip already planned for this weekend and needed a place for him.  So we said yes.  The nice thing is, the girls will be able to walk up to see him if they want to and he will come to our house some days after school for a few mins until his foster dad is off work.  Its great having another foster fam within walking distance!!
We are still hoping a praying Bubba comes back.  If Dee Dee can tell the abuse specialist all that she has told us and her new family, they will pull Bubba from his birth parents fast.  So we are praying for her tongue to be loosed for her not to have any fear and for the truth to just pour from her mouth!!!  I really miss Bubba.  I think I was actually dealing with a bit of depression last week.  I havent ever really felt like that... I could get happy, and I didnt want to do anything at all.  I think it really had to do with the helplessness associated with Bubba going back to an abusive home!!  And just missing my little guy.  I prayed a lot and really feel like IM past it with Jesus carrying me. 
Madi and KiKi start school tomorrow, and Jay should start on Tuesday.  She will be in the same school as Madi, but not all of her paperwork was transferred in time.  Im looking foward to them starting school.  THey are starting to get stir-crazy and are driving me nuts! haha! :o)
Our Christmas was very nice and the kids got lots of great things!  The girls still need a lot of clothing, they only had a few pairs of pants and shirts, but they got lots of toys and girly things, like hair ties, jewelry, perfume, and other fun things (thats such a blessing to them!).  We spent News Years Eve at a friends house and it was so nice to be with people our age who love the Lord.  Our kids where the only kids there, but we took the wii and coloring stuff, so they did pretty good. 
Well, I think thats it for an update!  Course, theres lots more to tell, but I better go, the natives are getting hungry!!  Hoping Mike can get the puter fixed soon, so I can post whats been on my mind, not just the basics!!
Hope everyone had an awesome Holiday week!  I know Jesus was lifted up in our house... it was nice to teach the kids the reason for the season!!!
