The Joy of What Is...

Yesterday was the big day!! 

We got up before the chickens like we always do (Timothy hasn’t gotten the memo about sleeping past 5am).  We had breakfast.  We brushed teeth.  We got dressed.

Olivia’s school van came.  Timothy was a little befuddled when I actually let him go outside when she was leaving.  Oh wait, *I* get to get in the van with La-La?   He was SO excited!! 

As soon as I had them on the van, I drove to the school so I could be there when he got to his classroom.  I didn’t even think to clear this with the teacher, although, I am sure she totally expected me.  Hehe  When he came down the hall, you could tell by the look on his face that he was completely confused. LOL   I’d been telling him all weekend that he was going to school with La-La.  And telling him that he was going to have so much fun, and learn so much.  As soon as he came in the classroom, he spotted the table with play dough just begging to be squished!  He was totally excited and happy, and really didn’t care when I told him I was leaving!  LOL  I’m not kidding, give the kid play dough and you have a friend forever!  Hehe

I watched the clock all morning.  I was just waiting till it was time for them to come home.  When they did, he was SO happy!!  If he could have told me, I’m sure he would have been chattering a million miles a minute.  He was even more excited to go this morning! 

His teacher called me to give me a little report on how his morning went.  She said that he did fine, and she was so sure that he was going to really learn a lot, and it was a great fit for him.  YAY!!  I saw one of the associates tonight at Walmart and she gushed about how well he did and how blessed we are to have such a sweetie.  I’m so excited for Timothy, for all of the new things he will learn, and the new friends he’ll make. 

Speaking of new friends… our journey to bring Timothy home has brought us so many new friends, and so much support, I still find myself amazed at how God has woven us all together. 

Tomorrow we are going to have a couple of visitors.  A woman that John used to work with and her husband have followed our journey, and donated to our funds to help bring Timothy home.  They are coming here to finally get to meet Timothy!!  We’ve been exchanging text messages for the last two days.  Why is that such a big deal?  Because THEY are starting the process to bring home a little boy (or two hehe) from Reece’s Rainbow!!  I am SO stinkin excited for them, and of course for him too!!  I can’t wait to sit down and just chat with them about the process, and the blessings, and help with fundraising! 

So dear friends, PLEASE pray for our friends!!  I don’t want to post their names yet, I want to be sure it’s ok with them first.  Don’t worry though, you all will be the first ones I tell when I can! Hehe

Here are a couple of pics from yesterday (I posted them on FB yesterday morning)!!
