One month in...and going strong

It has now been one month since M & R moved in; things are getting better and better every day.  In the beginning it was difficult; not only for the kids, but for Walter & myself too.  Our lives completely turned upside down.  We were used to going when we wanted to, eating no matter the time, taking naps during the day if we felt like it, and most of all sleeping in in the mornings.  Oh yeah, that's all gone.  Now apparently you have to feed these kids every few hours or they get really upset:)  But when they came to our home they were not speaking a whole lot, and what was said couldn't be understood.  Bedtime was a nightmare, and the food issues were so heartbreakingly (I know it's not a word...but more appropriate) sad.  So after a month the kids have gotten more used to us and us to them.  They are speaking more, and M is putting words together to form sentences.  We are all getting in a routine...finally!  The food issues seem to be getting better; they are no longer overeating or gorging themselves.  They both stop when they are full.  Bedtime is slightly better....of course when do kids ever want to go bed?  But overall we are all getting better.  Thursday is visit day with birth parents, that is still hard b/c it really confuses them.  The kids moved daycares a couple weeks ago, so they are finally getting used to that as well.  I, of course, have now taken my shopping problem to a completely new level....I'm outta control y'all! 

Honestly, overall we are all doing well.  Things are getting easier everyday.  We are just trying to take things one day at a time, b/c at this point these children are not up for adoption.  We have to understand that there is a 50/50 chance that these two little ones will go back to their birth parents.  Which will break my heart!  But we are really enjoying the time that we do have with them; they are sweet, funny, loving, and loud children.  We love them already and hope to have lots more time with them.

Please continue those prayers for our family.  We feel each and every one of them.  Thanks so much for following us on our crazy journey, it means a lot.
