It was at this point a year ago that we had planned to stop our process with Bethany and go to Foster care. In fact it was during spring break that the we decided not to go with Southern Christian Services due to some concerns we had and had decided to go with Methodist Children's Home instead. And with this decision came the decision that we probably would just be Foster parents unless a child within our home became available for adoption. It was a big change and while we were confident in our decision it was still an adjustment. It was also a year ago that we said "Hey we won't get approved before June and they aren't asking for a letter closing us our so let's just ride this out. I literally just wanted to see how long it took them to contact us. I guess God can use my hard headedness for my own good. Little did we know the changes that would come with surrender, with finally saying not my will but Thine.
I want to do some blogs in review. Looking back at some important days from a year ago. Getting some memories down that I didn't have a chance to do then. It will be difficult in ways as there are things I don't have the freedom to share, but I can give some of my perspective and how that has changed. And it'll help me process these changes.
Our sweet little peanut had changed so much in a year. She's around 18 pounds and 28 inches. I'll know for sure on the 1st. She's wearing some six month clothes but they are getting short. Mostly she's on nine month. She has learned to clap which is funny. This week has been a big week of firsts. First 2 teeth, first trip to the zoo, museum of Natural Science, and library. She loves to read and swing and has finally started to really eat.
I'll definitely be posting more soon but for now some pictures of spring break. Oh how my heart will break at daycare tomorrow.
