The Call

It has started.  JA has officially entered "teen-dom".  No, he didn't have a birthday - yet.  That's in September.  But he got "the call". 

You know...





From a ......







G-I-R-L.



We knew this day was coming, but we weren't quite prepared for it yet.  With curly blond hair and a great personality, we figured this would happen eventually.  We just thought it would be later.


It couldn't have come at a worse time (well, I guess it could have).  She called while our Social Worker was here for the 6 month post-placement. 

She called four times while they were here. 

And invited JA to come over to a friends house.


We said "No"


You see, we don't even know this girl - or her parents. 

We have been considering switching churches and have visited a few times and the kids have gone to some of their kid events.  I assume that he met her and gave her our phone number during one of these events. 


So, I guess we have just entered a new phase of parenting.  The joys of teen-hood.  Anybody got any good books we should read?  And please pray for us !!!!

I'll pray for you if you pray for me. :-) Having a 16 year old girl is hard. LOL She's great though. But I want to know, why is it the the girls always seem to call the boys. When do the boys start calling the girls? :-)
