this is one amazing journey!!!
first, before i get into details...here is our first family picture! (covered their sweet selves up...but they are in there!)
arriving at my parents' house monday night to share our news!
ok..some updates:
*i've had some questions about the registry.
-some (a lot) of the medicine/food stuff from target you can only buy IN the store. didn't realize that when we were registering. but, we still need it. also, the medicine and food is for our TRIP...not just to have at home. we have to be prepared for ANY sickness, etc AND we have to be prepared to eat a lot of our meals "on the go".
-i added some new things to the registry...once we found out the ages of the kids, we had some more "needs"!
*we do not know any travel plans yet. maybe by the end of this week/early next week??
*running! remember how i broke my foot and couldn't run for 6 weeks? well, this week should have been my first week back running. but, i just felt like i needed to give it a few more days. i ran 2 miles on it at the gym today and it felt fine. so...i guess i'll start building back up! i almost died running 2 miles. that makes me so sad. ugh.
*the kindness and generosity of people astounds me.
*we got our fingerprints re-done yesterday. they had expired.
*we get our shots this afternoon...all 5 of us. it's not going to be fun. it IS going to be expensive. but, it must be done. one step closer!!! PRAY for no awful side effects!!!!
*bad, bad mom moments last night. bailey had swim lessons. i had 20 minutes to get joshua to his baseball GAME from bailey's swim lesson. there was an accident. he was 45 minutes late. i might have driven REALLY fast and i might have yelled REALLY loud at the kids to "not say another word!" all of that made rebekah 5 minutes late to her soccer practice AND had no time to get her water from home (which i totally thought we'd have time to do in my "plan" for the evening). when i got home with bailey and sawyer after dropping joshua off...and then rebekah...there was a message from rebekah, "mom. my coach didn't show up. can you come get me?" ugh. load bailey and sawyer back in the car. go to her soccer field. her coach HAD shown up by then. so we went back home for a few minutes and i fed the 2 of them dinner and gave them baths before we picked her back up. and THEN...i thought i had lost our fingerprint forms from the morning. looked EVERYwhere. couldn't find them. ended up they were in the trashcan. I THREW THEM AWAY! ahhh!!! by the time pat and joshua got home from joshua's game, i was laying on my bed and basically didn't even have the capacity to respond. it was not good. a number of apologies and a good hug from pat improved things significantly...plus a good night's sleep!
*i know my 2 new sons' faces. they are SO precious. i can't believe how much i love them already...and how much they are already loved!!

Precious. So excited for you!
oh, is it bad to yell at your kids to not say another word?? because that happens frequently around here, especially in the car :) and to think I spent 2 years dying for them to talk. love you court and the newest cassadas. cant wait to know them.
Congratulations, lady! So exciting. Rejoicing and praying with you!
You tease!!! Showing 'almost photos' to us:) Can't wait till they are yours and we can see their gorgeous faces. Hope you get to travel soon!
Why am I weeping at that photo of you and your mom hugging? So precious. Do your best, but remember to give yourself some grace right now with all this going on. Bad days (or evenings) will always be with us, so confess and move on. Glad Pat was there to hug you and restore you a little. Love you!
Congratulations!! I've been MIA and just now checking up on blogs and so happy to read several families got their referrals and will travel to get their kids soon! How exciting! Praise God! So happy for you :)
