My "foster" sons' parents are coming over for dinner tomorrow.

I put foster in quotes b/c they are not exactly foster kids, but they are mine to care for temporarily. I should have them a month or so. The have seen their parents once since they came a week and a half ago, and it was a very short visit. they will be joining us for dinner tomorrow. The three year old has requested pizza and ice cream. I am hoping he visit goes well. I am somewhat concerned about how the boys will do when their parents leave. the baby boy will probably think they are here to take him home. I think I may have their mother give them baths tomorrow night and tuck them in before they leave. Last time the goodbyes felt so traumatic.

Not sure if you are a Christian, but I will pray for peace for you,the boys and their parents.

The baths, tucking into bed sounds wonderful. Maybe she can read them a short story to.

I'll pray for peace for all of you as well.

Thanks for the prayers. I truly appreciate it. The visit went great. The 3 year old was so excited that he started setting the table at about 3:30. He picked out special cups for his parents. He was just thrilled when they arrived. His parents were very good with the boys. They were polite and friendly with me and my children. we decided we will make dinner on Mondays our usual meeting time. I hope the boys go home soon. They want to be there, and you can tell it is where they belong.

I am so glad it went well! I was thinking about you tonight. Thanks for letting us know. How is your boy doing? I haven't seen an update on him. Always thinking good thoughts for him.
