Sounds like a store sale doesn't it?  But, no, it's my life.  Most of it is good news but it leaves me panting for breath! 

We just had our phone consultation with the Foster Mother and the SW in Texas.  Everything went well.  We have e-mails and phone numbers.  We even got to talk to the children for the first time!!  My DH had to work but I taped the whole thing for him so he could hear their voices and what they said.  It was pretty weird talking to someone you don't know but are going to be their parents.  D/C felt the same, but we had her giggling a lot, so that's a good sign.  (She reminds me of my dear neice D whom I love as my own child. I usually refer to her as my first child).  S/C was a hoot.  He reminds me of our middle son B when he was on the phone.  He was walking around looking at things and talking about them and getting his ideas for conversation..too funny.  He's also very determined that he will be with his "New Family" for his B'day April 27th when he will turn 7.  Little M was harder to get to talk cuz of his age, just now5, but we still were able to talk a bit.  He got a new green bike for his B'day Feb 8th.  S/M and D/C didn't "refer" to us at all so I wasn't sure how to reference ourselves with them.  But S/C was calling us mommy and daddy the whole time.  So, I asked him if they wanted to call us mom and dad or by our names for now.  He said he wanted to call us mommy and daddy, C wanted to just call us mom and dad and M wanted to call us mommy and daddy too.  I asked if they had talked about it together and he said, yes. So, we are mom and dad or mommy and daddy now.  The really exciting news is that we are going to visit them for a weekend the beginning of Mar.!! 

So starts the March madness for me.  We'll get back Monday morning and then have to leave again that Thurs. to drive to Kentucky for my mother in laws B'day.  Then when we get back SB and I (unless I decide to send him with his partners family) are going to MO for a debate tournament.  In the meantime between all this we have to fit in doctors appt., orthodontist appt., working on the rooms, school, update our homestudy and before we leave for Kentucky I have to have my mother in laws digital scrapbook done and put on DVD with music. 

Some good news is that we finally found the locker room style twin bunk beds that we've been looking for and couldn't find, even online.  It was in a new Sears catalog that we got in the mail Thurs.  YIPEE! They had nice comforter sets too that I may get for DC's room, although I didn't see any daybed comforters.  But, I guess that doesn't really matter. 

So, in closing until at least Mid March cuz we are gonna be busy,  please pray for a great visit with the kids and safe traveling mercies from the Lord In March.  God Bless All.
