Sweet Blessings

If I am this bad about blogging without kids, let me just go head and call this one- I'm going to be terrible about blogging once we have kids!  I won't overload you with too many foster details all in one post, but wanted to start getting some of our recent happenings in writing before I get too far behind.

The short story is that we are finished with our homestudy, paperwork, inspections, and classes, and are working on the reading list while gathering supplies.  We had told our agency that July 15th was the earliest date we would be available to be put on the placement list, but that date doesn't really mean anything.  They are still processing on their end, and now The Hubs has a work deadline in early August that we are going to try to finish before going on the list.  So, we did a lot of work in a short amount of time and now we wait.

Remember that amazing group of friends who came and helped us get the house ready for kids?  Well, that same group of wives in our Bible Fellowship threw me a foster mommy shower!  It was the best thing ever!  They were so thoughtful in the preparations and our time together meant more than they will ever know.  They gave us toys, books, and gift cards since we don't know any specifics about the kiddos yet.  I also got the chance to explain some of what fostering will look like and answer questions.  And... I cried.  I'm not even prego!  Then there was a sweet time of prayer for us and the precious little ones that will be coming our way.

We are so thankful for such supportive friends who are ready to be called to action!

Wonderful hostesses and friends!

You can't tell me that's not impressive.
But I can tell you it was delicious!

So many little details that made it extra special.

Are you kidding me? So cute.

Cards with Scripture for our prayer time.
I told you it was well thought out.

Perfect gifts from my hostesses.
Check out this great Bible.

Fantastic start to our collection.

Can't wait to play with these.  :)

I'm sure Tim is eager to put this to use.  Ha!

Gift cards are awesome!

Thanks again to all our amazing friends for walking this road with us.

Glad you were curious enough to read.
