~One more sleep~

Just one more sleep and we get to go pick up Jade and Abby!!

We allowed them for the first time to go to their grandma's house for a visit (birth mom's mom). Well, their first visit since we have had them full time.

When we first got the girls full-time they hadn't seen their grandma for about 6 months. We allowed her to come to town and visit with them at a hotel. They went swimming and had alot of fun. Danny stayed there with them while they visited.

Over time we allowed them to go alone and spend time with their grandma while she was in town. Then we even allowed them to spend the night.

Now this time she came to pick them up Thursday late afternoon and we will meet her on Sunday to get them. They were going to stay at her place which is a few hours away. They had plans to attend a movie, go swimming and visit great-grandma.

It was not an easy thing to do. It took us 2.5 years to build up this trust. Was I ready? Not exactly. Friday was a hard time as I kept waiting for them to wake up and come running down the steps. I had to keep myself very busy.

When they left it brought back so many memories of all the times their mom would come pick them up from our place Sunday night and we would wait for their return in 2 weeks. I could not imagine doing that again.

I love my girls and can't wait to go get them, just one more sleep!
