This afternoon, Matt and I had the pleasure of watching my twin nieces for a couple hours. What a blessing!
I picked them up when I got off work, and we made a quick run through Sonic for some $0.50 corn dogs (Matt and the girls love them!) Easy dinner for the win!
As we came to the house, we sat down around our table and enjoyed a meal together. I didn't even have to get onto the girls that much, which was a nice change of pace.
After dinner, the girls colored at the table as Matt and I caught up on our day.
We then spent some time reading to the girls some of the children's books that we have stashed away for our little ones in the future. We even have an entire collection of books from Matt's childhood!
The part of the evening that gives me the most hope is this:
I watched my husband sit on the couch with two curly-headed four year olds and read them stories.
I saw a glimpse of the daddy that he is going to get to be someday.
And I loved every second of it.
I see my sweet husband caring for our nieces and nephew, and I love the little glimpse I get of how he will be with our children.
I know it isn't always going to be easy. I know there will be hard days and days that one or both of us will want to pull our hair out. I know we will disagree sometimes about how to handle certain situations.
But tonight, tonight I have hope for our future.
As we begin this crazy, scary adoption journey, we ask for your prayers.
