Leave a reply

Jon went on this field trip with Regan. Regan was over the moon to have his Daddy go.

Regan found out about Star Wars at Disneyland and has been begging to go. BUT he’s not one for rides. I can barely get him onto a stationary bench on a merry go round! I told him if he rode all the rides we could go to Disneyland as part of our California spring break mini vacation.IMG_5225 IMG_5235 IMG_5241 IMG_5258This right here usually causes tears and panicking. Jon said he was HIGHLY motivated.IMG_5261 IMG_5287I picked up Kaylee and Hannah and Kaylee was desperate to know if Disneyland was happening. on called and simply said, “He rode the rides.” So I passed the message and the squeals of happiness and excitement about ruptured my eardrums. I guess we are headed to Disneyland. 🙂 I’m not complaining at all.

Adventures in Foster Respite

Leave a reply

Wednesday morning I got a phone call from our foster agency.

“I see you both are Medically Fragile certified. Are you available this weekend to provide respite for an NG tube baby?”

“Uhhhhh….. We took the training, but we’ve never done anything like that before….. We are available this weekend. I’ll have to check with my Husband.”

“I’ll have his foster mom call you and chat about it.”

“Okay.”

Then I called Jon. He was fine with it. I was terrified. Pretty much sums up our relationship.

After a LOONG phone call with his foster mom I decided to go for it. She came by Thursday afternoon to give us training and go over all his daily medical stuff.

Turns out it wasn’t scary or hard. Just new and different. That seems to be how life goes. New is scary, until you do it and then not so much. Also Jon handled all his machine stuff. I’m cool with meds, but machines kinda are more his department. So I did all the meds and Jon did the nightly machine stuff.

This little guy that we got to love on for a few days was SOOOOOOOO cute. Tiny and little and new. We all decided that it was so nice having a baby in the house again. Sleep depriving, but so nice.IMG_4186 IMG_4209Our little weekend visitor’s favorite position was just like this on Jon’s belly. Or laying on my chest. We don’t have pictures of that though.

We got to go and see Vivi and her big sister’s winter dance recital.
IMG_3065 IMG_3066We got to love on our Monkey Girl for an hour! She happily bounced back and forth between all of our laps.IMG_3072 IMG_3074 IMG_3167These two sisters are so amazingly adorable.IMG_3175

And RJ willingly and happily came and cuddled with me! Poor kid was SO tired.IMG_3180

After the performance we braved the mad house and tried to get a few pictures with the kids.IMG_3184 IMG_3187

RJ’s face looking at Regan cracks me up!IMG_3188 IMG_3189 IMG_3190Six cute kids. Two very tired babies. Picture taking craziness.

So grateful we got to spend some time with this sweet family and snuggle with pieces of our hearts for a bit today. All the love!
