Day One:

Meet Captain Jack!

 

And Nevaeh!  Or as Ollie says, "Vey-a"

 

We are amazed and challenged by wonderful BIG HAIR!

Pile on, it's book time!

Jon is so over the moon with this baby.  If you're coming over for/with dinner, you better hope you get here before Jon gets home or he won't give him up. 

Ollie and Jack

Tickle, tickle!

  

 

All smiles!

 

 

Ok, pictures will have to suffice for now because I've got a million thoughts, but probably only a few minutes before someone will be up.  I'll type furiously, and you'll ignore typos.  Jack and Nevaeh are adjusting so, so well.  They clearly have been in some wonderful homes and we are grateful as to how they are adjusting, especially emotionally.  Jon and I were talking last night and reminding each other that in the future when we do foster care, we probably shouldn't use this experience as the "norm".  God has been so faithful and knew what and how much we could handle.  They are truly sweet kids with personalities that are shining through despite a crazy start to life. 

 

Jack has been sleeping through the night!  After the first three days/nights when Jack got up every 90 minutes, I furiously read a sleep chapter in a baby book while everyone else was occupied/napping and Jon and I had a plan.  Google Dr. Ferber, that's basically what we did and Jack has slept through the night the last three nights.  Of course this a huge deal!! 

 

Ok..... I hear friends!  More later!
