After the long drive back to Lubbock we finally made it home. Upon our arrival, Denna and Jerry had picked up Kennedy to meet us at the house. They had just returned back from Tahoe and had gifts for the girls and the boys.
Both boys acted like it they have lived here for years. They walked into the house, checked out their rooms and started playing with their toys. We went over the "rules" of the house and got settled in. Pizza was an good idea for the first meal. Everyone ate and we hung out a bit. I took the boys to the fire house for a second to check my work schedule and then we met Reb at walmart to pick up some stuff.
We got home and got the boys bathed, cleaned up for bed, teeth brushed ect...and it was time for bed.
We figured this would be when it would get rough. Both boys jumped into bed and we prayed...lights out..no problem! About 10 min later, Mehkya came in and told us one of the boys had started crying. Cayden was scared of the dark...we talked a bit and gve them a night light. We discussed that it was ok to cry and miss mommy and daddy, but they were here now and eerything would be ok. A few minutes later, they were asleep...
The morning came to me hearing a strange noise. Two boys yelling at each other about who needed to pee first. We woke, we ate, we shopped and as of right now we are all doing ok.
When we pulled up to the house yesterday I was overcome with emotion. As happy as I am to have these boys, I will be happier when they are able to return. It tells me two things....1 Randall and April did what they needed to do and 2, we touched the lives of these two boys.
To be continued.....
