found out Thursday at the staffing that the kids would just stay after visitation (no call on Wednesday as had been promised - not surprised)
took the day off of work so we could pack the kids up and take them to mommyanddaddy's.
drove by their daycare to drop off flowers and say thank you.
we have been so blessed to have an AWESOME daycare that takes the ELC funding... except for one odd exception - we and the kids have been treated with such respect and love.
momma bear's teacher will probably have the hardest time with this whole adjustment (outside the family)
almost every teacher came to say goodbye. baby bear had been one of the first babies they had since opening a baby room... so he had a special place in their hearts. momma bear's personality is so big and bubbly and want to help that she had become quite popular as well....
we drove the kids to their parents and did a fast drop off... hugs hugs and gone....
mom reminding me we can call ANYTIME to check on the babes...
have gotten texts everyday - and even a call checking on us... picture texts came through (still don't know how that happened - but so happy)
this weekend has been full of shopping and birthday parties - it didn't seem too different from a visit weekend. until sunday night... and then this morning... getting ONE ready for school...
still on funky time... hubs and i going to court to hear the official ruling on reunification (and sneak a peak, sniff and hug from the babes)...
tomorrow i have taken off of work for some me time...
wednesday will be full force back to our new normal schedule...
i can only imagine how awkward work will be... friends at church on sunday giving us the smile and nod, telling us we are in their prayers - the right things... but still so odd...

Reunification seems good here, but still... my heart has this heavy ball in in for you right now. I can't imagine how you must feel.
ReplyDeleteThat will be us on Wednesday....
ReplyDeleteprayers - it is hard - it's as bad as i thought - and worse --- BUT --- also better...
DeleteIt was so hard for us to go back to church and places where our kiddos were a part of our identity. I understand that awkwardness. However, time does help. That is so nice that the parents are willing to let you continue contact. Just to be able to check on them is such a gift.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how weird everything is. After a year of routines involving 3, to all of a sudden go back to 1 must be very different. Praying for this time of transition!
