Less than 24 hours
Need I say more?
I don’t feel nervous, but I can tell I am a bit on edge. I can’t focus on much of anything and just keep thinking about tomorrow. I doubt I’ll sleep tonight. Last night I had CRAZY dreams that I may tell you about some day. Not today. 
I went and bought ribbon this morning to make a bow that will match Emma’s dress. Like I really have time to be doing that….but I’m going to give it a try. All of this energy and excitement and I know it will be over in five minutes. I think Speedy senses the excitement in the air and he smiles real big every time I tell him we’re going to see the Judge tomorrow.
Here’s a few “Speedyisms” from today:
After putting him in timeout and him having a meltdown while there….
Me: Speedy, do you know why you were in time out?
Speedy: because I tried to hit sissy with my suspenders
Me: yes, and that is bad behavior. You could really hurt sissy like that - we don’t hit anyone with anything.
Speedy: no hit ANYONE
Me: you may get down now, come give me a hug
Speedy: (as he is huggin me) I forgib you, mommy.
Later in the car, we saw a man dressed crazy and dancing wildly on the side of the street (advertising for some local business)
Me: Look, Speedy, that silly man is dancing a jig!
Speedy: dat man is dancing like a pig, mommy?
:D

You have soooo much going on! I know you’ll be relieved Sunday. The chaos will be over and you’ll be able to be a “normal” family! I am so excited for you guys!
And so sad about the child advocates. Hearing what you’re learning is going to make me want to do something like that…

Hi hun! I was just up way too late, and thinking about you and Speedy and Princess and Toolman and hoping you all have a fabulous day tomorrow. I will be thinking about you halfway across the country, yet feeling many of the same things I’m feeling. There just aren’t words to say how blessed we all are to be right here right now - and to look back at the last year and a half…just WOW. I’m looking forward to the pics! We just bought Mia’s dress for baptism/dedication at church - I’ll have to send you pictures…but where can I get a really big bow for her head????? If only you lived closer!!
