As you remember from my New Year’s post, it is my goal to take a 1-second video everyday – so far so good. Also, the app I am using is FREE for a limited time so take advantage while you can!

February is going to be a big month for Team Brave Dinosaurs – here a few updates to keep all of you in the loop (and to request prayers, good thoughts, general friendship and support) during this time.

At the end of this month, we have a termination trial scheduled – which means WG and WB’s biological mother will be fighting for her rights to the kiddos (which I really can’t blame her for – who wouldn’t want these two little wonders gracing their life forever and ever?). Although we understand and extend so much grace to her, we obviously want to settle into an agreement of open adoption (including visits, letters, pictures) before having to go to trial. This Friday, we get to sit down with WM (Wonder’sMom) and propose some ideas and hope/pray/plead that she relinquishes her rights. Then – no trial, two legally free kiddos, and a step forward in the process to make them our forever family.

Another big event happening this February is our 2-year LIVE-A-VERSARY! We are still cooking up some fun plans to do as a family over the Valentine’s Day weekend but a few leads might include some globetrotters, a drive down to Seattle, and a stay in a hotel with a pool (and hopefully a hot tub). We always look forward to this tradition and I am so happy we started it in month numero uno of our fostering journey. Here a few images from our inaugural trip last February that combined some favorite dates of mine and Scott’s to Friday Harbor and a ride on the ferry!

Updates on these events and more will be coming – thank you ahead of time for your support, love, guidance, all the help you send our way through the good times and the hard ones too.
