babies?

So... I am trying not to be premature, but we may have some little ones come home to us. Yes, I said babIES. There is an 11mo. little boy and his baby sister being born in July. We were put on the list for to be looked at to have them placed and... they chose us. Without giving out too much information the little boy is here in Boise and the birth parents are in CA. It is complicated, but what isn't with adoption? The Aunt has legal guardianship of the boy and can no longer care for the boy. WE meet with the Aunt this Sunday and then we go from there. There is still a lot that can change, but we are super excited. Yes, I know some of you will think I have swallowed a crazy pill, but we both want a large family and this just fits. Will wants the little brother to come home now so he can tell him that he will be a bad boy if he eats the dog food. so Will and the little boy will be 22 months apart and the little ones will be 13 months apart. Life is going to be crazy for awhile, but you know what? it already is. These little ones need a home no matter what and we are praying that God will let that home be with us. It is amazing to me because one of my fears was that Will would be really far apart in age with his siblings and then God drops this in our laps. Who am I to think that I know anything that the Lord has for us. I am humbled by the grace God has given me and that He doesn't allow me to have everything I want when I want it. I am learning with a lot of pain to be patient and He is so so faithful to provide. What an amazing God we serve. I just want so desperately now to see what the little guy looks like, what are his little habits, and just to hold him. I may be premature, but, a good friend told me to be happy even if it doesn't work out, because we only have today. also i want to be able to tell them i was excited from the second i found out. and i am so so excited. you know? life is still hard right now, but HE is allowing us to see the sun rays through the clouds of our storm. I stand in awe of the amazing God we serve. we are all such sinners and i have felt like such a wretch lately, and yet, even through my "ugliness" He chooses to bless us with something I would never have thought possible. so with this i end with "That in all thing He may have the glory."
