Closer

The meeting went swimmingly (I've always wanted to say that) and we have a tentative schedule of visits and such between now and placement. September 16-18 Visit with the kids in Houston September 23-25 Visit with the kids in Houston September 30 -October 2 Weekend with the kids at our house October 7-9 possible visit if needed Week of October 10 placement It's crazy to think that in less than a month we will have three kids. THREE!! Thank you, God!! A little overwhelming but it is nice to have dates and some finality to this long waiting game. I am trying to not freak out too much but just take this last little bit one step at at time. And not get so involved that I forget this is what we've prayed for, hoped for, and waited for so long. We are so grateful that God has brought us to this place and we are finally getting the desires of our hearts. So excited! Between now and the weekend we have some paper work to fill out and a call to make to the foster parents to work out some logistics. We are thinking right now we will go down on Friday night and just hang out for a bit at the foster parents house'. Then on Saturday we are thinking about driving through somewhere and go have a picnic at a park and spend some time with the kids. Nothing big or extravagant, but just an opportunity to get to know our kids. We are quite anxious to get the first meeting over so that we can breathe a little easier and know this is all going to be okay. I know it, in my head, but there are definitely a lot of butterflies in my stomach for the moment. It'll be nice to see their first reaction to us, no matter how bad or good it is. Then we can know what we are dealing with for future visits. We are getting so close to being parents. Closer each day.
