Life Changes

Jose and I have had some great, but kind of surreal changes this past month.....We are happy to announce that Kily is going to be a big sister! This September, we are expecting a new little baby to join us. We are very excited and all is going well so far. If you ask Kily where the baby is, she happily replies, "In Mommy's Tummy!" It's pretty cute, in my opinion.

And in the midst of preparing ourselves mentally for the baby in September, yesterday we officially became foster parents to an adorable little 2 year old! She is tinier than Kily but just as happy, talkative, and outgoing. They're really cute together. It's a bitter-sweet experience for Kily: She LOVES having a constant playmate to run around with, give hugs to, talk to at night, etc, but the concept of sharing toys, Mommy's lap, Daddy time... will take a little getting used to:) But really, after just 24hrs, they both have done an amazing job adapting. I'm about to get a crash course on being a mother of twins :)

We started the application process for Foster Care 6 months ago, and it seemed to take forever to complete. I think I was almost starting to think it never would happen...until I got the phone call yesterday!

Anyhow, it's been a month full of blessings from the Lord, and we are excited to see what happens!

Congratulations! I watch a little girl 5 days a week who is only 5 months younger than Keegan and I imagine it's a lot like having twins. You'll be a pro at it before you know it! :)

Yea! Congratulations to you & Jose on the new baby, I'm so excited! The foster child situation sounds fun, yet challenging. Do you have any idea how long she will be with you? How fun for Kily!
