The buzz of excitement in our home is so thick
I can almost feel it! A new little one
will soon be joining our family, and we are all anxiously awaiting his
arrival. The older ones in the family are
sorting through our large stockpile of clothing that we keep just in case - the
assortment of sizes, seasons, and genders; and picking out the cutest ones they
can find. I am busy clearing space . . .
in the dresser drawers for his belongings, in the kitchen cabinet for his bibs,
bottles and baby food, and in my calendar for the many hours that I know his
care will require. His new papa is
re-assembling the crib and re-installing the car seat – tasks he’s done so many
times, he can practically do them in his sleep!
And the younger one keeps asking over and over again, “When is he
coming?” We are just like any other
family who has a baby on the way . . . the arrival of a new foster child is a
time of great expectation.
