Well the week went by quickly and we had to say goodbye to the kiddos at 3pm. While a bit sad the goodbye went okay. We kept it low key for the kids. Laci really didn't have a concept of time and kept saying "goodbye, see you tomorow!". We tried to explain to her that we wouldn't see her tomorrow but she just kept saying it. Jenavi seemed a little bummed throughout the day but overall everyone was ok.
We didn't do a whole lot together today. We had to spend the morning sorting everyone's belongings and packing up to check out of the hotel. After that we had to take Yulissa to meet her foster mom for her eye appointment. We ran a few errands with the rest of the kids and then killed some time walking around the store while we waited for Yulissa. After getting her back we went out to Wendy's for lunch and then headed to a park that was in their neighborhood for the remainder of our time. We played on the swings and monkey bars and then sat in a pavilion playing a board game until it wsa time to take them back.
We had talked about trying to get the kids to come up over our town's spring break in another week and a half but still have a little bit of red tape to get through with paperwork and negotiations. Apparantly both of the foster moms have been telling the kids that they think they will be coming to Indiana then. We kept telling the kids that we didn't know how long it would be before they came home for good but we hoped it would be that soon. I don't know if they got the concept that it could potentially be quite a while before we see them again. They all seem eager to move to Indiana. I hope it stays that way when the time actually comes to move!
We really enjoyed our week together but can't wait for some of the normalcy of having them at home to begin.
