"Home visit"

Sorry it's going to be another quick update. Last week was crazy, as I drove up to see the girls everyday. Tuesday was mine and girlie's first day alone together, and we had a great time shopping at Target. She picked out a cute headband and would only let her foster mom put that in her hair the rest of the week. Wednesday we drove up to visit baby sister after her nap, we had fun and girlie even showed a little jealously, which is a good sign. Thursday I got to attended PT for baby sister, which was very informative, and good to be at. I also put her down for her nap after! Then I had a very quick visit with girlie on my way home. Friday daddy got to come up and we picked up girlie and headed up to baby sister's house. It was time for baby sisters nap, so we didn't get to play long, but I got to put her down for her nap again. And this time girlie was very jealous, even though she had all of daddy's attention. Another good sign. Saturday we had a busy day with end of the year parties for the boys' soccer so we didn't get to see the girls, but baby sister's foster mom sent us a video so we could watch her play in her exersaucer. Then today girlie came here to visit us and meet the boys! It went great, she played her room and wanted to play in it for the longest time. We had a quick lunch, then walked to the park to play. WE had a great time and the boys were great with her. She fell asleep in her stroller on the way home, and then slept on daddy's lap for a while. She seemed sad to go today, which is good. The boys both asked why she just couldn't stay forever now, that's a good sign too. She'll be abck in the morning, and we'll have the day together before we meet half way with foster mom for the trade. Then the rest of the week I'll be driving up really early to see baby sister before her nap and put her down, then pick up girlie and come home for the rest of the day before meeting foster mom half way each night. Thursday they both have appts in the morning I will be at, then girlie will stay very late, till after dinner and boys bed. Friday should be move in day with girlie!!! Hopefully sunday baby sister's foster mom will bring her here for a visit and we'll trade off driving days the rest of the week, with  baby sister hopefully moving in the next weekend! So it's very busy, but going well. I will update more when I can.
