Light at the end of the tunnel!






Hello Friends and Family!
I hope you're all doing well! Life for us has been crazy busy! I'm so incredibly thankful that I'm feeling so good now that I'm in the second half of my second trimester because otherwise I don't know how I'd survive the "organized chaos" of our lives! Even being as organized as I am, the amount of paperwork and appointments that have been required of me in the recent months can get really overwhelming. If E gets a small scratch from climbing a tree in the backyard, that requires two phone calls and 3 pages of forms to fill out! So those "little" things plus caseworker visits, court phone calls, A's hearing tests, A's eye appointments, A's therapy, E's preschool screening, E's ortho follow up appointments from his leg, and much more.... it's a lot to deal with! Please pray for my own diligence as this week has been a lot of appointments and next week will be worse. Thankfully, I've hired a lovely girl from our youth group to come over for an hour or so next week to give me a chance to make phone calls during the day and fill out some paperwork without being interrupted.

We feel so blessed to have these kiddos and are really excited to be nearing the end of our 6 month waiting period... it's over on June 9th! I had a court phone call with the judge, the kiddos' lawyer, and their caseworker today and they said they're really hoping to finalize in late June! Woo hoo! Now that we're nearing this much-anticipated day... more and more paperwork is filing in for us! Haha... it never ends! It's all worth it though and we can't wait to make these kiddos official Robertsons! :)

We also had a friend take some family pictures for us, which I have posted along with this note. I hope you enjoy! Oh, and little baby girl Robertson is in her 26th week now! She is moving and kicking and punching like crazy and I'm loving getting to feel it. Josh and I love to WATCH her moving around in there... She's certainly active!

Thanks for you prayers and support... we love you and miss you Minnesotans!
Heidi, Josh, E, A, and baby girl
