Okay. Seriously...

I have the best excuse for my lack of posts.  Or the 2 best excuses :)

I believe in my last post we were just approved to foster, or were just about to be approved.  Let me go back there...

November 5th- We were approved to foster.

November 8th- We got a placement call.

November 9th- We welcomed our kids into our home.  And things haven't been and will never be the same again.  We are incredibly proud parents to The Boy and The Girl.

Obviously, I can't go into detail.  Especially here. 

Things started out really rough.  The Boy came with a lot of "issues".  Tantrums, hitting, biting, kicking, head banging.  Explosive tantrums.  Explosive everything.  We had few laughs, smiles, and easy times in the beginning.  The Girl learned most of his behaviors (but they weren't nearly as explosive) and didn't sleep through the night.

Now?  We have gigglefits and dance parties.  We have smiles and trips to the park.  It's not all rainbow and sunshine, but we have gotten through so much.  And we sleep!  Obviously, we hope that this moves toward adoption and should know more, soon.

Exercise and diet has been placed on the back burner.  Which means I didn't run the 1/2 marathon this last weekend.  I strapped the kiddos in the stroller and we cheered our family on.  I'm on the fence if I will train for one in the future... I'm leaning toward yes.  We shall see.

And now this momma is going to bed.
