Firstly, welcome to my new followers & welcome to Frugal Freesia, who kindly commented on so many posts.
The visit yesterday afternoon from Molly, one of the DGD's went very well, she visits often with Helen, but this was her first solo visit, she made a Christmas decoration, we did some crochet, she helped hubby thin out the carrots, picked lettuce & leeks to take home and we also visited the local shop to buy her a magazine & some sweets. Little things, but as she's had no contact with her real Grandparents it's important that we try to fill the gap.
Next week it's her brothers turn & we will do the same things again, little things I know, but we want to build a relationship with these children. Every child deserves to be safe, clean, warm and well fed, these two were none of those & have come on incredibly well since they moved in with DD Helen. They are extremely excited about Helen's pregnancy, her older foster child (who has been in & out the care system for 10 years immediately said 'Does this mean I have to move out?' when he heard the news. Helen reassured him, but explained that whilst he might WANT to move out when both babies are screaming at once, he doesn't HAVE to move out.

Every child does deserve those basic needs to be met and thank goodness there are families like your own willing to step in. Yes they are only little everyday things that you are doing with them, but they will be the little things that their good memories will be made of xx
Glad I found your newest blog. I enjoy the posts.
My oldest son and his wife have foster children, and we try to make sure that they are treated like our own grandkids.
Take care, Barb from Canada
