We found our Babies!!!

September 10th 12:50 pm We received a call from CHSFS. I almost diid not answer because we have had such delays and disappointments. The first words were we have information on your referral. I said..oh awesome...with not a hint of excitement, because I was anticipating more waiting time. Then I heard, we have the names and ages of 2 children. And I said....YOUR KIDDING...this time...way more excited. She went on to say the first was a boy and he just turned 6 in August and the second is a little girl who will be 5 on Sept. 21 ( our anniversary) I asked what the names were and was told the little boy was Diego and the little girl was Yirley...like shirley..( which was later corrected because our baby's name is YERLY) She told me that this was the only information she was given, but she would call tomorrow with the details of these children AGH...I went out into the hallway from my bedroom and told Gretta, Ella and Dayne to pack up, we were going to get Pop and Olivia...we have children. They looked shocked and jumped up and down saying YES!!! I called Mike and told him I had great news...we were given the names and ages of 2 children. He said...You are kidding...ha Your Kidding...I told him we would meet at the high school and grab Olivia so I could tell everyone the news at the same time.

I grabbed our best wine glasses, some sangria we saved from mexico and a danish in a picnic basket. One our way to the high school, I yelled at our neighbor Mary out the window we had a referral...awesome.

We met Mike at RAHS...I went in to find Olivia and she was still out driving. We had to wait 30 munites for her to return. When she drove in, I went up to the car and told her...we got our referral...she said WHAT? she went inside and went to grab her things.... Meanwhile Mike is dying for indormation on our babies...threatening to hurt me if I don't tell him soon.

Olivia came and we drove up to the park on the hill of hwy 23. We found a picnic table and the talk of the day was that Ellen was the new american idol judge...so I started talking about that and they all jumped on me....come on!! So we sat down and I told them exactly like I was told. It was 2 children...etc...
As I told them the details, each one of us had tears. It was a very cool moment.

We had football practice that night...but after practice..we went to CANCUN and celebrated with a fiesta of tacos for our newest blessings.
