Here I am - Finally!

I just realized how very long it's been since I've posted an entry here. Yikes! Can you tell I now have 2 children under 2 yrs of age? Life has been crazily busy!

We now have two foster children in our home - and the oldest of the 2 is 99.9% outs to adopt! I can't say 100% until the paperwork is complete and the judge has signed off, but we're very close! We are excited and nervous at the same time.

Little Man came to live with us on June 4. It was a rocky start - the first week or so I'm not sure who cried more - me or him. But we seem to have gotten over the really rocky parts and are now reaping the benefits. His little personality has really started to shine these last few days, and he seems to be a lot more comfortable in his new home and confident that we aren't leaving him. I really need to sit down and write out the whole story for you all, but right now I'm tired and heading to bed. I've also got some cute pics to share (no face shots yet!) so I'll try to get those posted. I can't promise anything though - I never imagined how busy life would be once we added Little Man to our home. But it's a good busy, for the most part. I'll say one thing for sure that will help you understand my frustrations the most - I HATE PARENT VISITS!! I know, I'm supposed to be fostering for a plan of reunification (oh, please, whatever) but when I really can see the writing on the wall, it's very hard to be positive and optimistic about parent visits. Anyway, enough about that for now.

So sorry to be gone for a while from my blogging, but hopefully over the next few days I can catch up and share some fun and some not so fun stories with you. Until then...goodnight!
