Family Update


As you can tell from the picture we have added a few more children to our home in the recent months. We now have four foster children. They are ReyAnna (6), Larissa (14 months), Jocelynn (7) and Andrew (3 1/2). They are two sibling groups. We enjoy them, although Andrew is a lot of work. If you think of us we could use prayer, so could he and our other children. Pray that the best possible outcome will be achieved for these children.

It is amazing to see how much Larissa has grown. She thinks she is such a big girl. She is funny to watch. ReyAnna has come so far in school this year. We have been blessed with a great first grade teacher, who really has taken a special interest in her. She now reads at a first grade seven months level! And to think she did not even know all of her letters and sounds when she arrived in our home in September 2007.

Needless to say we keep busy with four children between appointments and visits with parents. Neither of us are working much. My job has been cut back and Ryan is still in the process of looking for a job and interviewing. We hope and pray something will come our way soon. We could use a big blessing at this point in our lives or at least I could. :)

Other news, if you have not already heard, Ryan and I are having a BABY in early October. Pregnancy has been okay so far. I was sick and tired in the beginning, but it was not too bad. My parents are excited about being first time grandparents. Ryan's parents, who already have two grandchildren are excited too. This will be the first Leach grandchild for the family. My sister-in-law, Sarah also is pregnanct and due late October. So, the Leach family will have two babies in the same month.
