Foster the People

It's official!  We are temporarily licensed!  Seven fire alarms, four baby gates, one barrier around the furnace, thirty-seven plug guards, thirty hours of class, three hours of First Aid, and twenty fingerprints later, we are now able to foster children who need a home.

Now every phone call that I get causes me to jump and run for the phone.  We haven't gotten any fostering calls yet, but I am hoping that it will be soon.  Lila is all moved in to her big girl room, and we've got carseats and cribs out the wazoo,  but the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, or KDH&E, still has to come and approve our John Hutson and Rachel Hutson Family Foster Home before we can be officially licensed.

We're all very excited to start this new extension of the Hutson family.  I've been practicing getting two babies around the house and on walks with Lila's friend Hayes.  She loves hugging him and petting his hair.  I'm hoping that she'll be as accepting to a more permanent little friend.
