As of right now, we're kinda stuck in a waiting game. We have to have two more home visits before our home study can be complete. We have one home visit scheduled for next Tuesday, May 28th, and I'm hoping to be able to schedule the third (and last one) while Ms. Allison in here at our house. I'm ready to have them finished and officially be a waiting family. I hate being stuck waiting and not available if a child needs us.
On Tuesday, we babysat my coworker's twin boys. Right before they came over, I received a text from one of the couples that attended the foster adoption class. They had twin girls placed with them on Monday. I don't have all the details, but they are pretty young, maybe 4 months old, and are going to be with them for at least 6 months until the parents have another court date. They are super excited and yet, as the mom said, "already on pins and needles."
I am super excited for them, yet I will be honest and admit there there was a twinge of jealousy. Why were they able to complete their home visits so quickly? Would we have been able to get the twins had we been ready? After about a minute of asking why and worrying, I reminded myself that things happen for a reason. Those girls were meant to go with our foster friends and thankfully, they've told us that we can meet up with them and love on their new girls.
Nate was such a big helper when the twin boys were here. He loves those boys and so do we.
It was so wonderful to have babies in our house. It was a joy to keep them and love on them for a little while.
Tonight, I went through Nate's 0-6 month baby clothes so that I could pick some out to put in the drawers in the nursery. I would love for a little girl to join our VBK family, but as I went through those special clothes, I kept thinking about how I would LOVE a little boy so that he could wear them. They all bring back such sweet sweet memories. :)
I'll try to update next Tuesday after our home visit. Maybe I'll even get around to sharing more pictures this weekend.

Good luck tomorrow! I know it will go just fine but I'm always a bit nervous with those visits.
I remember that twinge of jealousy so well. Took us so much longer then everyone else in our class. Was hard just waiting while they all welcomed home children. But your arms will be full very soon.
