The Ups and Downs...And We Haven't Even Gotten Started Yet

So I forgot to mention last week...

We got a call for respite for twins. We said yes, another family got chosen.

Two days later, we get notified of an 11 month old boy. We said yes, another family got chosen.

The next day, we get a call about a 3 month old infant with an absolutely heartbreaking story, but that situation wasn't something we were comfortable with, so we had to turn it down.

That same day, we get a call for a 7 month old boy and his 4 year old brother. We said yes, and scrambled to straighten up the house, and an hour later we got a call saying that they had been placed with another family.

Man...we were beat. That's why when we heard about the little boy coming tomorrow, we were a bit skeptical... But, look where we are now! Updates soon!!!

Our World is About to Change!

Well, tomorrow (January 16) we will have a 3 year old little boy living with us. At this point, I'm not sure what all I can share so I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I will talk with his worker tomorrow about this blog to see if it's something I can post pictures on. I am assuming if I am allowed to to that, that we'll have to make this a "private" or "locked" blog, so it'll have a password on it. We'll deal with that tomorrow though.

We are nervous, excited, scared, and crazy all at the same time. Our days of us doing what we want are coming to an end VERY quickly. I took today off so I could spend the morning with Bob... It was nice.

Keep us in your prayers, and we'll update when we can.
