We picked up E on Friday night and had a blast with him all weekend!! We stopped off first at the Stephenson's house. They graciously offered to have us over for dinner and so they got to meet little E as well. After that we were off to our house for bath time and bedtime routines. E has the most beautiful smile, with a little dimple and everything!! I wish I could show it to you! But you do get to see pictures of some of the fun things we did and places we went!
I have always wanted to go to the Children's Museum, but they frown upon grown ups that go with no kids, so we'd never been. Well, we jumped at the chance to take E. We were there right at 10 AM Saturday when they opened and there was already a line outside!! This is one popular place and we quickly learned why! It is AWESOME!
This area was one of E's favorites. He loved to watch the water and he really loved being outside! I guess he didn't mind the heat even though he always told us when he was hot and cold! That kid has quite the vocabulary for being 24 months old!
E loved the way the water felt on his sweet little hand! I had to keep cropping out his face and poor kid always said "cheese" not knowing I was just getting his hands!
Jeff really liked the turtles so this picture is for him! There were also dragon flies flying around!
This robot made out of old telephones was also one of Jeff's favorites! Mine too actually, although E was more into picking up the phone at the base and saying "hello."
How sweet is this picture of my hubby holding E's hand outside the museum!?! Jeff is totally a natural and helped me keep my cool all weekend! What a great daddy he will be!
This picture is for my mom because she loaned us this book and E loved it!
Harvey was so gentle with E! I was pleasantly surprised!! He let him pull his tail and hang all over him. He was a little unsure of the crib and the snoring sound coming from it, but other than that he was totally chill!
Thanks Aunt Jenny for letting us borrow the blocks and toys! E loved them!! They kept him busy every play time we spent at home!

Thanks Aunt Jenny for letting us borrow the blocks and toys! E loved them!! They kept him busy every play time we spent at home! On Sunday morning we took E to church. It was our first time ever dropping a child off at the pre-school ministry. We were nervous that they would ask for some kind of documentation that we were supposed to have the child. However, they didn't ask and it was an easy check in process. We were also worried how E would do for three hours while we went to Bible Study and worship service. They gave us a pager and thankfully it did not go off. The class director when we went to get him said that he did great. We received several strange looks from our friends - hey these people didn't have a kid, and all of a sudden they have one - How awesome!
We have been sad since we dropped E off this evening! He was such a fun little guy and a pleasure to take care of! His foster family is very sweet though and we know he is in great hands! We sent a little note with him with a picture of us to remember us by and offered to provide respite for him again anytime!
Please continue to pray for us that God will use this waiting time to continue to grow and prepare us for our new role as parents! We leave Saturday for Colorado so prayers for safe travel and relaxation are also much appreciated!

So sweet, Becca! It looks like he had such a fun and special weekend with you guys! And I used to love the Children's Museum, my fav. part was the grocery shopping!
What a great weekend! E seemed to have such fub. I enjoyed so much getting to talk to him on the phone. It looks like Harvey loved having a little one almost his size around. A view of what's to come is a perfect reason to enjoy such a precious two year old.
