I am so thankful that My Love has had a few days off. Our anniversary is next weekend and we celebrated early by attending the Rascal Flatts concert at the BJCC Friday night. It was AMAZING! We sat SO close; I've never been that close to the stage at a concert. My vision isn't great so to be able to make out the detail on the performers clothing and such was incredible. Of course being able to dance with My Love to "our song" was the pinnacle of the evening. Such an incredible time watching three very talented singers and their bands. Hunter Hayes, Sara Evans, and the headliner Rascal Flatts - What an amazing way to celebrate!
Saturday while I worked Chris was actually able to attend our oldest's basketball game. Unfortunately we both work weekends and it's the first one either of us have been able to make this season. He's playing very well though and we're really proud of him!
Today we had our February visit from Baby Girl's worker. Everything is still going fine and there are no changes in the case. Baby Girl was actually awake for this visit so her worker was able to hold her and make over how beautiful she is appropriately haha :)
Tonight we will celebrate My Love's birthday with family. His birthday isn't until later this week, but this was the best night for dinner with the fam. We're all excited about it! Did I mention it's Monday night pasta night! YUMMY!

Meeting Big Sister
Today was a big day for Baby Girl and our family. Today we met her bio Big Sister. We met at a neutral location and had intended to sit outside near the play area, but it was just too windy and chilly for Baby Girl out there (not to mention us grown-ups). Big Sister was very sweet and loving and enjoyed meeting Baby Girl. I am really excited about them getting to know one another! I'm already envisioning birthday parties, tea party play dates, and kindergarten graduations. Big Sister and her Gran are wonderful and I'm looking forward to our next visit.
Gran was able to tell me how much Baby Girl favors her sister at that age. Big Sister is 4-1/2 yrs old. Big Sister is SO TALL and she has big, beautiful eyes, heart shaped lips, and gorgeous skin that look so like our Baby Girl. She's a bundle of energy!
Gran was also able to shed some light on their history and more bio family. She asked if we would keep Baby Girl since we're foster parents; Yes! We're in love with her; she is part of our family now and forever. We're all praying that Baby Girl gets to stay with us so the girls can maintain a relationship.
We took some pictures of the girls and I left a little picture book with them so they'd have pictures of Baby Girl and our family. Then they helped pack Baby Girl up so she could go home with her Mommy (me!). It was a really good first meeting and I'm excited about the way God is building our family and Baby Girl's!
