Friday August 27

Friday afternoon August 27 our family brought home the sweetest little guy home from the hospital. 2 days old!!! It has been such a long time since I had one that little 13 years to be exact. Talking about anxiety! but it did all come back to us and today sweet baby boy is 1 week old and doing amazing. He is so tiny weighing in at 5lbs 15oz at one week old. He is doing so well, loves sleeping on Carrol's chest and loves his bottle. My sleep well that is taking some adjustment but he does sleep well just the normal every 3 hour bottle. Sweet baby "Moon" as he is known in our house thanks to Josie is brought  to us from DCFS. we have no idea what the outcome will be just continue to pray over him Jeremiah 29:11. As with all our foster babies we love him dearly!!!!!!!!! No matter the outcome we wouldn't change one minute with him. I will say he is the first baby I have had that I wanted to take to get his pictures made and fix up his own nursery Etc. don't know what that means I know he fits so well with my family, even waiting to pick him up felt just like the moment we sat in Guatemala waiting to meet Josie for the first time. I know that I am putting my heart out there and is subject to be broken but if not and the Lord does plan for us to be his forever family I don't want to miss any of these moments and thoughts I have of him. I read something in a adoption magazine yesterday talking about Foster/adopt and it said although it is tough and has its own challenges at least you get to be with your child while you wait! So This is the deal if baby moon does get to remain in our family forever I would be so sad if I didn't document and if I didn't let him sleep on my chest and if I didn't get his picture made all the time. I missed all the moments with Josie and Pedro so  what will it hurt right! We love him no matter what and he will always be part of our life!

And as for Pedro, well it seems I am always saying this but maybe next week we will have a answer. Still waiting and will continue to preservere until he his home!!

Josie started Gymnastics and preschool this month! she is doing so good. She thinks she is going to be a cheerleader when she grows up so we are getting a head start. It is so much fun to watch her just wish I could slow things down!

Corie started Jr. High  OH MY GOODNESS! but is loving it. She is a social bug so she loves being there to hang with her friends.

Christian, well talking about wanting to slow things down!!!! High School now and he just got his first vehicle!! boohoo!  but I do enjoying watching him growning up. I love his age and watching the kind of mature man he is growing into now I am just getting alittle nervous about the dating thing he is about to be in.

Overall life is good! I feel I am in my sweet spot.  5 families from my small church are now becoming foster families which is a dream of mine and I think the Lord would be proud!
