Ten more days until we pick up Trish. This is an old picture, but doesn't she look sweet? Also, the box of info on Emilio was sent out today! So things are finally moving with that. Maybe??? The caseworker is back from family leave, so that should help.
We've been moving furniture and food storage and making room for 2 more kids. We cleaned out the food storage/storage room and moved Lincoln's crib in that room. Then we bought some bunkbeds off craigslist and set them up for Jeanisha and Trish. Once we got them all set up, we realized they block the window/fire escape, so we're going to have to trade them with the one Ryan and Adam are using right now. Hopefully we can get that done tomorrow.
We have taken 4 of the 9 required 3 hour classes to be certified for foster care and just have a few more hoops to jump through. We will finish classes on the 21st and go pick up Trish on the 22nd. She is coming for a 2 week trial to see what she thinks about being part of a large family. She's never really been in a family with lots of younger kids, so hopefully the noise and constant busyness won't be too crazy for her. The kids are super excited. We spent Sunday, May 2nd with her and she seemed to fit in really good and said she felt like she belonged. The kids loved her too! It will be an interesting summer!!!!

Janet~ Wow! What awesome news! Congratulations. I hope it all works out.
I am so excited for you! Isn't the whole process so crazy? Talk about an emotional rollercoaster. I think Trish will love being there and you will love having a teenager around to talk to. It is really fun!
