Today

Let's start with yesterday. It was a beautiful day. In fact, I can't really imagine a more perfect day. The temperature was just right, the sun was out all day, Jack was agreeable to everything we did (and took a wonderfully long nap), and referrals have arrived.

After the initial excitement, I was relaxed. And relieved. Finally we know more about how the completion of our family will play out.

Today is a different story. It's cloudy and colder - fits my mood a little better, or maybe it's influencing my mood. I'm nervous today. All the "what if's" are going through my mind. So, I need to focus on something else.

I think Jack and I will go see the fire truck parade today. He might enjoy that, and it will take my mind off of waiting for Monday.

Jack has decided that he will donate his high-chair to Jo-Jo, and then be pleased as punch to sit in a booster chair at the table. I'm excited for him to see a picture of Jo-Jo. He knows that she is coming to live with us, but a picture should make it more real (for all of us).
