So, we picked up the boys last night to begin our "Forever Family." I took off today so Adam and I could attend the boys Christmas parties at school. This morning I got up, got the boys ready and drove them to school. (yes 30 min both ways, so I am glad that is the only time I have to do that!) I was totally excited to be a parent in the car rider line, instead of the teacher greeting the students getting out of the car rider line!
I then proceed to come home and get more wrapping done since I am seeing so many hours dwindling away lately (imagine that!) As I am wrapping my cell phone rings. I notice it is a school number, so all I can think is "Oh no! What have they done already?" I answer and it is my youngest son's teacher. She said he has been really worried that I don't know what time the Christmas party is. Then she giggles and says "He said he didn't think you knew what time the party started, because you are a first time mom and didn't know these things!" :) She and I both had a good laugh at that one! But I realized he bugged her enough she called me, so he really does think I don't know anything since I am a "first time mom!"
So if you think I don't know anything being a "first time mom," you are probably right, at least according to "little man" as I call him :)
Monday we are having yet another home visit from the agency so hopefully I can start using names and post some pics. :) I will at least attempt to ask that question!
Anyway, just wanted to share my first morning day as a "Mom" (a mom who doesn't know much though!) :) I am sure I will have more interesting stories once we have a full day under our belts!

LOL. Too cute. Don't worry, Isaac doesn't think I know much sometimes either. The other day he ask me how to spell a very simple word, then he checked his leapster to make sure I was right, and then he said, "Wow, Mom, you really do know how to spell!"
ReplyDeleteWhile I was smiling as I read, I also had tears in my eyes, as this just OVER JOYS me!!! There are times that I pray and feel that my prayers just hit the ceiling; however, when a prayer truly is answered, like this one, it gives me such faith and hope for all the prayers God has yet to answer. I wish I could be at your shower tomorrow (family Christmas in Louisville)--maybe we can plan a little get together over Christmas break, as I would LOVE to meet your sons! Love you all!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED, LOVED, LOVED reading the words "our youngest son"...priceless! And, this is just the first of many funny stories you're gonna have. I can't wait to hear all of them. Love ya'll so much!
ReplyDeleteSO happy for you guys!
ReplyDeleteSo super happy to read this!! You have a PERFECT family and I can't wait to get to know them better! By the way, Olivia calls the boys "Adam and Emily's new kids"! :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you and Adam. Truly thankful that God hears and answers our prayers. You both will be great parents. You will learn very quickly I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteSo precious! I am so excited! Travis told Ella we were going to a party for your boys and Ella of course asked "Why?" Travis said, "Because they are part of the family now!." Ella said "Oh boy!!!!" Love you all!
