Meeting of the teachers

Today we went to Babeck to meet the teachers.
First we met Alex's teacher, Ms Faris.
She's an older teacher, sweet lady.
After meeting her I'm thinking she will be great for Alex.
She knows all the tricks, nothing will surprise her.
And she will not let Alex say
"I can't do this" in his highly exaggerated voice.
Alex was bummed at first because he didn't think any of his football friends were in his class
but thankfully there is one.

Then we went upstairs to Olivia's class.
I said separate and separate they did.
Olivia's teacher is Ms. Nickell.
Very bubbly woman.
Again I was thinking perfect for Olivia.
God obviously knows what He's doing -- again Katie, TRUST in God's plan.
There is also a student teacher in Olivia's classroom, as sweet as can be.
She reminds me of Kristen.
There are also a lot of twins in her class.
There are a set of twin girls who are not separated also a boy {football player} that is separated from his twin brother.
She also knows another boy in there, because he lives right near us and they play with him often.

Then we headed down to talk to transportation.
I imagined meeting some grumpy old man.
No, a sweet lady full of laughter.
The kid's will get on the bus at the corner, we're the second house from the corner, so I'm happy with it.
The bus will pick them up around 8:10.
Oh Olivia, is not going to like this.
She usually doesn't wake up till 8:30 or 9:00.
Adjustment for her.

All in all I left the school in joy.
It hit me again
God has this all planned
And HIS plans are so much better than mine.
His ways are greater.

Back when we were deciding between Private christian and school and public school I was driving myself nuts.
Once Doug and I received the answer to send them to public school
I had peace.
Like really peace.
I was no longer frustrated with the decision.
I was no longer worrying how sending my children to public school would destroy them.
No, instead I felt complete peace.
And the whisper it's YOUR job to teach them about ME not the schools.

I'm excited for their kindergarten year.
I'm excited that this time {we tried last year, they just weren't ready} they are actually ready.
They are excited, both of them, not just Alex.

My babies are growing up.
I'm just wanting to soak it all in because it's already gone by so quickly.

From this to this

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
