Ok...So Wednesday afternoon we got a call from our DCS worker and she asked us if we would like to foster two boys. Not just two boys, but two boys who are only three weeks and fifteen months old! I know nothing about baby boys! Of course we said yes. Every part of me starting shaking when I got off the phone. It's like finding out you are pregnant and having the baby all in one day. I finally came back to my senses and and got on the phone to see who I could borrow baby boy clothes from.We have been so blessed. Not only have people provided clothes, but they have been bringing dinner, too.
Due to privacy reasons I can't share details of the situation or real names. Baby A will be one month old tomorrow and Baby W is somewhere between fourteen and fifteen months. We aren't sure exactly because some of their history is missing still. It has been going well. I have forgotten how tired you get when you are feeding a baby three times a night! Baby A is very sweet, though! Baby W has had a more difficult time of course. Going to sleep has been pretty rough for him. First few days were high anxiety, but he is starting to get adjusted. He smiles more and is playing a lot more. Boys are a whole different world for us!
We'll keep you posted! Please pray for the situation. Please pray for wisdom for DCS and everyone else involved.

Updates
First off, I am sorry for the lack of pictures. I am very slow at figuring out how to upload photos to our computer from my phone.
2nd grade is going well. Amazingly well. I was a a bit worried but Lauren has surpassed all of my expectations once again. I think teaching is easier this year because we are passed the basics. She can write well and read well so now we are onto the learning of concepts and things. We are having fun. Yes, we have had our moments and our melt downs, but overall I am so blessed to able to teach her.
I am really glad that I decided to start school early. I had two deliveries this past week and ended up having to take Friday off from school. On Tuesday we finished school and met some friends at a nail salon and got treated to manicures and pedicures. It was so much fun! Right after we finished I ended up meeting my laboring client at the hospital. It turned out to be a beautiful experience and the kind of birth that they were hoping for. Friday was a whole different story. The outcome was healthy mom and healthy baby, thank God. It turned out to be a marathon day and a very tough experience for all involved. I am so thankful for my husband who took care of getting Lauren to our sitter's house and taking care of our household. I am praying for a restful week this week. More babies coming in a few weeks!
