The Waiting Is Over.

After months of training, interviews, as much paperwork as buying a new car and the taunting task of WAITING... we are FiNaLLy Foster Parents.

We can't post pictures because its a privacy protection thing for our kiddos, but let me just tell you... Imagine the cutest thing you've ever seen and multiply it by 100! Seriously, these kids have captured our hearts already.

Lil boy is turning 4 at the end of this month. We plan on throwing him a birthday party at the pool or lake, because the boy loves to play in the water! He is witty, hilarious, outgoing, hyperactive and tender hearted.

Lil girl is going to be 2 at the end of the year. Let me tell you, she has the kind of cheeks you just want to kiss and squeeze for the rest of your life! She is still learning to talk and use her words, but she is very deliberate about letting you know what she wants. She has already started calling me "mamma" and runs to me when she is fussy, right into my arms. Brother bear calls me "momma cole" and calls vance "bubba", per vance's request, of course!

There is no question that letting these kids go down the road will be incredibly difficult. Perhaps the hardest thing we've had to face in our marriage so far. It hasn't even been 1 full week and we are already attached to them. However, having them become a part of our family has been only a joy and honor ( with a dash of tiring thrown in :)

We cant complain at all though! The moment CPS pulled up into our driveway, Trey was out that car and running across the street to the neighbor kids, asking if they wanted to play with him. They go to bed each night at 8pm and sleep till 7am without any problems! They started their first day of daycare yesterday and didnt have one single problem!

These kids are champs and we couldnt have asked for better babies to get to care for.

Well, I better go, I could talk about them forever... I'm having to learn how to manage early mornings, get myself ready, get them ready, off to daycare and to work (ON TIME) :)

WE ARE BLESSED.

Love,
The Garvey's
