Big changes coming ...

We found out yesterday that we will be parents in just over a week!

Two little girls, aged 4 and 3, are moving to our home on Sunday, 3/29. They will be foster children until the adoption is finalized.

As you can imagine, our heads are swimming with all kinds of thoughts.

Jenetta is springing into action and the back room is being decorated with all kinds of pink stuff.

Just fyi, due to the fact that they are not "ours" yet, we won't be putting any photos of them online, and we will never use their full names in any posting.

We will refer to them as "O" and "L". O is four and a half, and L just turned three a few months ago.

I think one of the coolest things about all this is that we are discovering how huge our support network is. We are so blessed by your prayers and calls!

This is the most fantastic news I (we)have heard in a long time.What an incredible difference you are going to make in the lives of O and L and they will do the same for you.

Congratulations! I look forward to hearing how the girls (and you)are doing. You'll be busy but I hope you keep your blog updated as we'll be eager to follow it. We're registering Carson for kindergarten this week so I can relate to 4 1/2! Have fun with your preparations and take a deep breath!

What great news. I have tears in my eyes as I write this. You must be so excited. O & L are so blessed to be part of your family and of course extended family as well. I don't know if you can say or if you mentioned it.... are they sisters?
Wishing you joy and wisdom as you plan, prepare and wait.
Love to all "4" of you!!!!

Yes. O and L are sisters. They are a package deal. :)

WOW! We are so happy and excited for both of you! Our girls have already been asking when they can come and play. LOL Told them they needed some time to get settled in first. Sounds like we will be able to share all of the joys of Kindergarden together. Two girls, especially sisters are in our experience a great joy and lots of work. We know you are up for it! Congrats and we can't wait to meet them some time in the future!
