We've had a busy week! We took E and A from their foster home for a "local out-of-the-home" visit on Wednesday. We went to a pottery studio and E painted a car! After that, we went to the park and to Chili's for lunch. When we told E we were going to Chili's for lunch he said, "I don't like chili." It was funny... we had to explain to him that they had more than chili there. Haha!
Then, on Thanksgiving day, we picked the kids up from their foster home and took them to our house for the whole day! It was pretty great! Both sets of grandparents were here too so they got to meet the kiddos! It was a fun day... until nap time! :) A did NOT want to nap and seemed to have a hard time with that adding on the fact that it was a new place.
After the nap finally happened, it was back to being great and we had a lot of fun!
We took the kids back to their foster home Thursday night, but we picked them up this morning for our first weekend with them! They'll be here until tomorrow evening so we're really excited!
After that, we will be doing a "respite" week for them so we'll have them for 6-7 days starting the 2nd. Then they'll go back to their foster home for one or two nights... then after that they should be placed here permanently! Yay!
Specific Prayer Requests:
-NAPS!!!! Please pray that both A and E will nap well. So far that has really been the only struggle during the days here.
-Please also pray that while we have them here for the 7 days that we can all really bond and we can all get used to the new people and new ways.
Thank you everyone!

Will definitely be praying for naps! I know that the kiddos need them, and you will need the time to yourself too! You are going to be great parents! Love you!
Really, really sweet!
That nap thing will get better, and I'm praying with you about it.
