I remember "playing baby dolls" being much ummm....quieter...when I was little. I'm pretty sure the extent of me impersonating a baby included drinking out of a bottle, whining, and sleeping.
Let's just say that our Little Lady's version of "playing baby dolls" is much louder (and much more violent!) Fingers were bitten off, sisters were screaming, the older babies were grounded from video games, and so on. It was pretty intense!
In other news, we're getting excited about our trip. Just a warning for our daily readers...we won't be able to post for about a week because of the lack of signal. Just warning you now!
We were supposed to finish a long list of chores today, but instead, we slept in, laid around, and then even took a NAP! It was the best. The chores will have to wait.
I pack (and clean) better under pressure anyway.

LL's quotes:
- "I already knew how to clean my room. Pretty much everything I said I couldn't do I could actually do when I first got here."
She changed Emma into these clothes in case an Arctic cold front comes to Dallas.
She's holding her doll in her right hand. The other four are from when I was little; some of them are more than 30 years old!

About Us:
We began our foster journey in mid-August 2013. We finished our classes in October, had our home study in early January, and we were licensed on February 7, 2014. After seven calls from CPS, we received our first placement, a 7-year-old girl (our Little Lady, or LL for short) on April 3, 2014. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about our journey through the craziness that is foster care. Most importantly, thanks for your prayers, love, and support. We hope to encourage fellow foster/adoptive parents as we document our ups and downs each day.
