Yesterday we celebrated the adoption of our girl. It’s the second adoption we’ve finalized. Today we celebrate our son’s gotcha day, the one year anniversary of our first adoption.
It’s done, this phase of life we’ve enjoyed as foster parents. With the birth of our new baby that is due in November we will have a total of five children. Our home is bursting at the seams with our family of six and anymore is not possible. Even with the hopes of moving to a larger home we are feeling a certain level of completeness to our family.
Yesterday was also our final visit with Early Intervention for our youngest son. He’s slowly outgrowing his developmental delays which is nice. I’m very proud of him and I’m certainly not complaining about having one less appointment every month.
We’ve been busy enjoying our back yard. I’ve been moving plants around and starting our vegetable garden. Planting perennials last year was a great idea because it’s given me more time to enjoy the children as we’ve watched the gardens fill out with beautiful hostas, creeping ground cover and flowering plants. The joys of gardens that take care of themselves!
For now, I’m taking this extra time to sit back, knit and enjoy the loudness that is my home.
Yes, They're All Ours.
