July 31st- Visit 1

Oh man I am so in love!!

Love isn't even how to describe it! I am a mommy and I love my son to pieces! I may not haven given birth to him but the love I have for him after laying eyes on him is just one like a normal mother has when she gives birth to a newborn. I didn't want to take my eyes off him, I just wanted to sit and watch him for two hours today.

He is my little hambone, oh man the love that little boy is going to share with us is amazing!!

So we got there, we walked in and he was at the top of the stairs and he was saying hi!

We went upstairs, Evan and I sat on the couch, he kept looking at us and then would run around and watch tv. Oh yeah he grins from ear to ear all day long!

So we werent allowed to approach him, and so we didn't really I tickled him one time and then I moved to the floor to be at his level. We gave him a stuffed frog and he doesn't like it (oh Well) hahaha

Evan put the frog on the floor and said is that your frog, he passed it back to Evan and shook his head no no no.

He loves the camera and can say cheese!

We did get to see him eat a banana, the kid loves food!

We also seen him through a meltdown and hit his head on the floor, this is a big no no and the foster mom tells him NO

We got to see him interact with the foster kids.

We were leaving I asked for a hug and he gave me one, then he slid down the stairs and wanted to come, he was putting the shoes on. Then he hugged me and Evan again and we left it was hard.

We are in love! We love him to pieces!

We get to see him again August 2nd for lunch- its also my birthday!!

Well I will post more on Monday!!

MIA

WOW May 26th was the last post crazy!!

Well on June 3rd we got to read all about an amazing little boy! His name is Sean and he is 2.5 years old. On June 18th Evan and I made the journey to meet his foster family and social worker and Guardianship worker.

Sean has fragile x and Autism and we had to decide if this is the child for us.

We prayed hard that God would show us that Sean was to be ours or wouldn't.

We got to the meeting and our social worker prepared us for the worst and said to be prepared that it would be the worst interview in our lives. I was so scared and ready to cry. But I remembered that God is bigger then the boogie man and he was watching over us okay maybe I made up a song and sang it in the car for awhile before we got there. Maybe the song went like this... God is bigger then the foster mom, hes bigger then the social and guardianship worker oh God is bigger then the ministry and he is watching out for you and me. I sang this song to Evan.

So we walked in and sat down, we met his social worker and guardianship worker and foster mom and its like we had known them forever. We chatted for a long time, we took a lunch break we came back and they did something they never do.. Something I prayed hard and long about.. Usually you get a proposal a few weeks after the interview to say that yes they do want you and if you want to say yes also... Well we got it right then and there!! AMAZING!! We knew right then this is our son! On our long drive home we saw not 1 but 5 rainbows!! Amazing God's promise to us!!

So anyways our sons name is Sean Karl Reker and we are so excited to bring Sean home.

We meet him on July 31st! And we bring him home September 25th!! We are so excited!!!

Ev's parents are coming out for 2 weeks in August and will get to meet Sean!

So if I am MIA this is why!!
