twins!

well, things have changed course

we went to the interview for the sibling set of 3 a few weeks ago

we left feeling overwhelmed, sad, and amazed

these little kiddos had been through so much and really needed

a family (in our opinion) with a full time stay at home mom

no siblings close in age

intense therapy

and a year lock down on all activities

we were so impressed with the team that was advocating for these children

we knew when we left that they would locate the prefect family for them

in our hearts we knew it wouldn't be us

it was too much to ask of 'our bug'

we headed out to lunch to chat and someone left a voice mail

i checked it on our way home and it was a case worker inquiring if

we were interested in twin 1 yr old african american girls

we called back to get more info

mind you we are in the middle of the country heading back to indy

so the cell signal kept dropping during the conversation

we pulled over as semi's barreled past us shaking the car

we held the phone up to the car ceiling

and madly wrote down everything she said

she said she would send pictures via email and we could contact

her with questions

meet them and then decide

racing home we peeked into the email

what happy beauitful babies were starring back at us!

we shot back a ton of questions over the next few days

the termination of rights are not complete but heading that way

we were told

they want to move them into a pre-adoptive home to start bonding

we decided to go for it ...holding on to our hearts

we were told the next week the current foster mom didn't want to

foster them any longer and could we take them the next day

since we had planned for older kids we had purchased bunk beds a few months ago

baby stuff we didn't have

i gave it all away

to a single low income mother out reach program at our church 3 yrs ago

i was urged to post on facebook the situation and see if

anyone i knew had baby stuff they wanted to donate

(especially the big stuff: cribs, pack in plays, etc)

basically- we had a baby shower on facebook

stuff just showed up, dropped off or josh ran and got it

the baby's room theme is: ....eclectic

sparing you all the events and craziness that took place in the next 48 hrs

the short version

the *twinkies* moved in with us 9 days ago

i am dropping down to part time in 2 weeks so they are in full time

daycare until then

bunny and peanut

have filled our house with

happiness, giggles, messiness, and exhaustion
