Still floating high....

We are still beside ourselves with excitement about Joseph! We called the foster family last night to talk to Joseph, but he was already sleeping. She said he had played hard all day with another little boy and he was very tired. The foster family said that they are very happy about us being pgn approved. She also said they are sad. I can only imagine how hard this will be for them, they have cared for and loved him for 2 years now. They are such an incredible family. We feel very blessed that Joseph got to wait for his forever family with them. BUT, now he's coming home to us! We couldn't be happier. We are trying to prepare our hearts for his transition. Although we've been waiting and waiting, he hasn't. He's been happily content with his temporary surroundings. I can't wait to get started "attaching" to him and him to me.

Nathan and I called him this morning, he didn't really want to talk but he was listening to us. Nathan got very excited that he got to say "hola" to him. Apparently Joseph said "papa" back to Nathan which cracked Nathan up! I'm hoping 6 weeks FLYS by!

Jen and I are so happy for you guys. And glad to see Nathan getting all excited about his brother's arrival.

Let us know when to start making the welcome/bienvenido signs.

Thanks!

To those of you who have given financially to help complete our family and give Joseph a home, there are not words to describe our gratitude. Simply know that you will forever be a part of our family, and we thank God for you.
