Getting Closer

We have now been on like 6 visits with the girls. To say it finally feels real is an understatement. They are so excited and the boys talk about them every day. Their room is ready and looks great. We are hoping the next 2 weeks till move in goes by quickly. I am sure it will with all that we have going on. I have gotten them registered for school next year and their Kindergarten plan is all laid out.
Only 2 more days till we get our Princesses for the weekend. :)

My Mothers Day Present from Courtney....

Our wonderful caseworker, Courtney gave me a Mothers Day present on our visit today.
it is a framed and decorated Poem that she wrote about our first visit with the girls.
It is too sweet and I cry every time I read it. The fact that she made it herself means all the more.
it says:

the moment finally came
they waited from afar
their hearts began to race
at the sight of the Brunton car

to the people at McDonalds
Christina gave a shout
it’s “My New Mom and Dad”
she said without a doubt

Katie took your hand
and said come and play
it’s how she says I Love You
in her own special way

though you’ve only met just once
I can see the love you share
God has truly blessed your life
and multiplied your prayers

two precious little girls
will have their dream come true
now they have a Mom and Dad
and a Nanna and Boppy, too

your journey has just begun
a new chapter, a new start
take with you the memories
and hold them near your heart

My Sweet Husband

OK, so, we know that Larry is ready and about to bust waiting. I on the other hand have been "One Big Ball of Emotions & Stress" this week. I can't wait to see them again and actually spend some time playing with them instead of just watching them to make sure they are real and weren’t going to disappear. Thank goodness that I have stayed sooooooooooo busy with shopping and other everyday things that tomorrow has snuck right up on me. It seems like EVERYONE in the house has had an appt. this week. Yes, even one of the dogs. I am making a scrapbook to give JoAnn for Mothers Day & have it all done except that I had wanted to put a note from me to her in it with some kind of poem or quote about foster moms. You would think there would be tons of that kind of thing out there on the net. Ummmm NO, Let me tell ya, there isn’t. Not really what I am looking for anyway. If I was really creative, I could come up with something. But, right now, my head is soooo full. It might have a shopping list mixed in with it somewhere. Hehe Any ideas, feel free to e-mail them right over.

2nd Visit coming

I thought last week was long....waiting to see the girls for the first time.
It was way better than I could have ever hoped for.

This weeks has been twice as long waiting to get to see them again.I wonder all the time what they are doing and are they thinking about us. I see this getting harder each week until they get to stay with us. I will try to sleep tonight waiting to go tomorrow afternoon.
