Slacker
Well we have been enjoying time with our son.
The other night I had a melt down, its so hard to leave him. When i know he is so ready to come home and if any problems come of it we deal with it later.
This past week has been fun and exciting we have done family bbq, gone swimming, went to Gramma's and Papa's house.
It is emotional draining traveling back and forth and the inlaws are here and trying to make their visit a good time too.
Having my ECE I am very laid back and relaxed and I know I drive people nuts but they are kids, they will be fine... If they didn't get hurt then they would be wussy little brats.
I did have to say I am his mommy and let me do it, you raised your children once already and I know I will probably have to do it more and more and more.... People might not like me for it but oh well its life and you have not gone through the emotional roller coaster I have been through in my life.
So one thing if your adopting and things happen how it happened for us please please make time for you guys first and then invite friends and family over a month or two later, its super tough and draining to be doing this all at the same time.
we won't get to see Sean for a few days this weekend as they are going on holidays but let me tell you when he comes back I am going to love him forever and I am not ready to share him at all... But you can come visit!

Today we went and took Sean by ourselves into town and went to a few parks and then took him shopping! He did amazing and is not showing any signs of not liking us.
Tomorrow Evan's parents will get to meet him, they will be here tonight.

August 3rd- 3rd visit
Today was such a great day!!
We took Sean to the park and had a great time, we hung out and played. Larkin and Sean are two peas in a pod! They had so much fun together.
Sean was getting tired and was hungry so he was done at the park.
We had to drop him off somewhere else and he had a melt down, because he knew which way he wanted to go. Man the kid is strong you need to hold on tight.
My parents and our niece came out to visit with Sean and they all enjoyed it.
First off Evan and I got there at 9:30 and we played and talked and then my parents showed up with Larkin at 10:30. They came in and met the FM and then we left and went to the park.

August 2nd- Second visit
Well today was our second visit and let me tell you it was amazing!!
I love him and he is so damn cute and such a little ham
Him and his daddy were running around and he fell on his bum and he whined for me to pick him up, I did we cuddled and then I put him down.. Then he fell on his bum on purpose and whined for me to pick him up!! Damn he is so smart and cute!!
Sean does not have a big language, Sean has fragile x and autism but he is a smartie pants and I just am amazed by him!
Today when we got there he went right for my purse and wanted the pad of paper and pen I had last time. These are amazing things!
When your told your child has these needs and that he is so far behind in his development and to see these amazing things it brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart.
With lots of help and love and support I believe Sean will succeed in life!
Sean is getting so use to us that its great, tomorrow we are off to the park with my parents and Larkin and with the foster family.
Sean asked his fm (foster mom) to pick him up, so she did then fm said to Sean maybe your mommy wants to cuddle, I put my arms out to reach for him and he put his out and we cuddled!!
I love my little ham bone!

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!!
