Welcoming Braylon

Thursday November 8th I found out Kurt's grandma had passed away peacefully. What a wonderful woman to know and love. I felt a connection to her and loved hearing her call me her "Daisy Girl." We both loved daisies and I happen to choose those for my flowers at my wedding. Well after a few tears of goodbye to myself at work I got busy with a big meeting we would be hosting for all the Parks and Rec Coordinators in the area. 

Just after the meeting I received a call from my RFC Dan. When I see his name on my caller ID I no longer flip-out and hyperventilate. I guess we've talked enough that now I just don't get my hopes up until I know he's got an option I can even consider. Well hyperventilating is probably an understatement  when I realized a little 3 yr old boy was on his way to my house. Pretty crazy swing of emotions for the day I'd say.

I left work early and headed home to get the room and house ready for our visitor. I waited by the office window for almost an hour watching for the case worker to pull up with him. 

Introducing Braylon:

Braylon loves books! I'm so grateful for the books given to us to help our stash and for the library!!

Friday Grandma Bushman was nice enough to give this guy a much needed hair cut

Kurt is so good with Braylon

Braylon will eat ANY thing. He's such a great eater. I thought my menu would have to change but he'll eat peppers like carrots.

He really is a handsome kid when he gets dressed up. This is him all ready for Grandma Doris' funeral

You know being a parent is definately hard work. I knew that going into this and expected a very big change, but I guess you can never really plan for things to always work out the way you picture or plan it out in your mind. There are big adjustments Kurt and I are having to make but I feel like they are all for the betterment of our selves really.

Braylon:
Love books
Eats every 30 mins
Loves to build snowmen
Just learned to make a snow angel and loved it
Smiles a lot
Just learned the "Monkey Song" and would sing it all day
Loves music
Loves story time at the library
Giggles when Kurt kisses me on purpose in front of him
Hates nap time but will sleep for 2 hours sometimes
Loves chocolate

Likes a cold bath with a teeny amount of water
Soaks up everything he can learn

We're excited to learn from Mr. Braylon too. We don't know how long we get to have him with us and we can't tell you all the details of why he's in foster care but we're glad a good little boy was placed with us. Prayers are always answered.
