Gotcha Day!

Today is Gotcha Day!!!

We loaded the bus at 9:30am as we were to be matched with our children "some" time after 10am. To our huge surprise and excitement we had not even had an opportunity to take our jackets off and the van arrived. 3 boys - an 8 year old, a 3 year old and our little man.

While he wasn't too sure of us at first, he really liked the trucks we brought for him and loved the cheerios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His house-mother brought him and gave us a journal with his daily schedule, likes and dislikes and most importantly...pictures!!!!! He had been in the foster home for the last year and they took pictures throughout and passed the pictures onto us. His nanny knitted him a pair of slippers to take with him and he arrived in three layers plus a jacket!

He has taken quite a liking to Matt!! Loves to play hide and seek, loves to run and knows what the remote control is for (not too sure that is a real good thing). So many things to do and see, refused a nap and gave a good fight in trying not to fall asleep tonight 😊

We know the grieving process will begin soon, so for now we are enjoying every single time we can get a smile!

Tomorrow is the official day...we take the oath and sign the official papers!
