So things have gone kind of crazy in our lives right now.  Instead of the month and a half or more that we were expecting before we take the kids home we are now going to be picking them up on Feb. 29th!  Tomorrow the family heads up to CO to meet with them for the first time.  I am really excited and terrified at the same time.  
We have sooooo much to do still!  
tonight we are going to work on writing letters/cards for each of the kids for everyday we are not there to leave their foster parents.   Mom is going to make them all baby blankets.  we picked out the material today--its really cute!  i will try and post pictures of them up soon.
I am so excited and frazzled at the same time that it is making it hard to even type.   I know that this is the best for the kids but it just feels like it is all happening so fast!  Of course, the poor kids don't even know that we are meeting them tomorrow and they have no idea that they will be coming home with us in two weeks.  I cannot even imagine how terrifying it must be for them.   Little Jacob was looking at our "life book" that we made for them and had tears falling down his cheeks.  He has memorized the book front to back but is so scared of leaving everything he knows.  As he said "I don't want to move again!" Who can blame him!  I am terrified of our lives changing so much and i have had a choice about the change- i have wanted the change.    

I will also try and finish the second part of "Adoption" in a bit.

sounds exciting! I bet you'll /really/ have your hands full after they join you, though.
