What a month! Baby K has been with us over a month now! Where does the time go! We cant believe she is already 8 weeks old! She is sleeping through the night most nights still and is awake a lot more, she loves her little play mat and bats at all the toys-- its really funny! Shes still pretty fussy most evenings, but were getting through it. This too shall pass. She is smiling a lot more now, and I swear she tries to laugh sometimes already! I cant wait to see how big she is at her appointment next week.
We had to take an unexpected trip to NY last week to be with our families due to a tragic sudden death of Danielle's beloved Uncle. While it was an emotionally rough trip it was nice to see family and introduce baby K to her (foster) Great Grandparents, Grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends!! She had a lot of firsts on our trip like seeing horses, Alpacas, chickens, riding a 4 wheeler with Jay, going to Uncle Richie's car show, spending time at the orchard, shopping, watching us all eat yummy Soft serve at Country Drive in--YUM, went to a funeral ;(, went on Papa's pontoon, spent time at Ballston Lake, met lots of doggies big and small, was loved on and spoiled by and extended (foster) cousins and family/friends! Both girls did great in the car, I don't know how Jay does the entire trip driving almost by himself! Hes such a trooper!
We got exciting non adoption related news this week too, Jay has been with the same company for over 5 years now, no raises due to budgets, annual layoffs (thankfully never got laid off),gotten two promotions with no salary increase, etc...its over an hour away from our home with traffic and while he enjoys the work we have been praying for something better for our family for years, Well friends the day has come! God is so good! Jason accepted a job offer this week! The new job is much closer to home, is giving him a sign on supplement, more money, has room for growth and a growing/thriving company! He starts after our beach trip and we are so excited and I am so proud of him!
We are still loving on baby K like our own, even though we still have no idea how long she will be in our home. She has not gotten to visit with her mom and dad in a couple weeks now, not due to our choice. We go to court Aug 20 (Tu) to see what the judge says her parents have to do to get her to come back to them. We leave for our annual beach trip with Danielle's Mom and Kailyn and Amber (YAY) next Saturday, we are excited to relax at the beach and expose baby K to yet another of many firsts-the ocean! One thing for sure this little peanut will be well loved and spoiled no matter how long she is with our family.
I hope late Aug is finding you all well! Thanks for your prayers, thoughts, gifts and love!!!
