So, here we are in our certification week and I am already impatient for the next step. I bought another twin bed frame this week (bringing our total to three). There are new comforters and sheets in the closet, and I have been trolling Craig's list for kid-appropriate dressers I can refinish. The hardest part is that we simply do not know what to expect. We could get two boys, two boys and a girl, three boys and a girl...Where to begin???
I keep walking past what will be their room. I can hear the sounds of their voices in our house, and I long for the pitter-patter of more little feet running around upstairs. I told Brian I just hope they are here for Christmas--I want it to be the best one they--and we--have ever had. I want to enroll them in football and karate and dance class. I want to drive them all to school in the morning, and tuck them all in at night. I want to surround them with our incredible friends and family.
For now, we are in a bit of a holding pattern. Every day, I look at the pictures of our "maybe family" and wonder which children will be the ones walking through our door to stay forever. I wonder if they will hug me, or if they will even want to talk to me at first. Regardless, I know that, for now, I will wait, and hope.
