Sweeping away the cobwebs....

I'm thinking that this may be a therapeutic place to record my thoughts and feelings as we enter through the hardest part of the fostering process, possibly nearing reunification.  I have so many feelings, things I want to say, and things I'm not sure about....  So many what if's....  Right now, everything is just a big jumble.  Hoping to start tomorrow, getting down to the nitty gritty.  I want to remember every single moment, but that gets hard sometimes with everything else still going on around me.  This, if kept, could be a blessing. 

One thing is for sure... As sure as I am breathing... I LOVE THESE KIDS!

Onward and Upwards....

I did it!  I set up my surgery consult.  I'm going to get myself put back together.   This hasn't been an easy decision...  Doing something this big for yourself, this costly, this time consuming... But, I do believe that it will do wonders for how I feel and I'm sure my husband will enjoy it as well.  Ha!  I'm excited, yet very nervous.  The unknown, the pain that is bound to be there... *EEEK!*  But, we'll get through it.

Baby pumpkin has lots of teeth, is very mobile and I think she'll walk soon!  We'll be celebrating her 1st birthday in a few weeks.  Bigger pumpkin is becoming his own little person... speaking more clearly, doing well with therapy, and finding his voice and personality.  Challenges come and we rise to them together.  They are happy, healthy, gaining weight, and look like different little people!  I am so happy that we decided to be foster parents.  We are so blessed.  This has changed all of our lives, in many ways... and the lives of those around us.  It's exciting to see others growing and being inspired. 

My children...  They continue to inspire us as well.  They continue to amaze us with their kindness, adaptability, their love.  We are just so very proud of our little not so little family. 

More later....  I need to start some dinner.  :)
