1st Mother's Day!

Well, as we mentioned before, foster care is a very unpredictable road. So we finally found out Friday morning after much waiting that the baby we thought might be placed with us, was placed in another foster home. We were disappointed, but the more we learned about that specific situation and the needs that child might have, we were also slightly relieved. The blow was probably softened by the fact that in the same phone call letting us know that baby was no longer an option, that there was another baby, again a girl, this one four months old, that needed a home. We said yes and this time things moved much quicker! By Friday afternoon, our new little addition was in our arms. Or more specifically Matt's arms! Matt got a crash course in baby care all on his own as Janelle had to return to work after meeting the new little one and picking her up.

Matt did great, as Janelle knew he would and then she finally got home and got her baby fix! We played and admired the adorable kiddo and then ran to Target for a baby shopping spree! We took baby home and she crashed! She woke up about an hour later, had a little snack and is now off to dream land again, and hopefully we will be soon too!

We can't publish her name or pics, but all you need to know is she is super smiley, has Matt's hair, and loves to raspberry. We're in love!

We are in love too--and we are not even there. No matter what happens--she is a gift for now. We are praying for you. We will be anxious to hear more news.
