I feel like I need to follow up my last post with something positive and also just want to remember this day. First, the phone call with the parents went SO much better than what I had dreamed up or the nightmare I had in my head. The mom was very pleasant just asking how baby J was feeling and thanking me for taking good care of her. ? So I don't know if they were being fake or if they had time to cool off or what but not what I thought was going to go down after hearing what they were saying at the cps office and wrote in the note? Really just giving God the credit for their change, I have been so anxious and stressed and worried about what they would say, about protecting ourselves from allegations against us as foster parents, that I think I forgot for a minute that God is in control, he is the judge, he will fight for us, and I am just going love any child that comes into our as I love my own kids and TRUST. (and still document EVERYTHING, hehe)
Today we stayed home ALL day, I really don't remember the last time doing this, we are always running to the store, at the gym, driving for preschool, etc. and since neither of the girls are 100% yet we stayed home and it was sooooo nice, we just played and laughed and relaxed, BOTH girls took great naps, and then when Caleb got home we played catch, swung on the swings, baths, etc. and to hear all THREE kids interacting, playing, laughing... best sound in the world!! We missed Tony but such a fun family night. At one point Kirea said (she has had a little bit of a hard time sharing me with baby J) but she said I can't believe we are ALL having so much fun. hehe not sure exactly what that means but pretty sure it means she is happy. Feeling beyond blessed tonight. :)
Glad to hear things things went well! Praying for more of these great days for your family.
