Two years (and two 'babies') later...

Well it's been 2 years since I started this blog. I would apologize for not writing sooner but I don't think I have any readers. Awkward. So 587 days and 11 hours ago we picked up our two new baby boys (not legally babies but close enough - 8m and 2 yo brothers). In January 2011 almost one year after our training (and about 52 nagging/stalking phone calls/emails to my beautiful and patient case worker) we got the phone call. I nearly vomited with excitement. Only a day before I'd been told that nothing would be happening over the Christmas holidays. And then she tells me there are two. TWO. So if you recall how I became rather obsessed with the little boy in foster care that was casually mentioned before we did our training, that was like normal behavior compared to what happened when we were given photos and written descriptions about these precious little brothers. I was beside myself. Even Simon who is the calm, responsible one was really, really, really excited! It makes me emotional remembering it. There were further time/information discrepancies from DHS that are too annoying to go into, but about 6 weeks after finding out about them and getting to know them, we brought them home.
