Our time with Selah started off a little rough, because she cried for a little bit and it was the hard cry. The toughest part is that I feel liek the caregivers are scared to leave her with us, you know..."the strangers". So it makes me nervous and I feel horrible. So, then I start crying because I realize that Selah as NO CLUE how much we love her and its hard to realize that we are just strangers to her. It hurts, but we understand. I told Shane that it gets tiring trying to re-establish trust with her EVERYTIME we are with her and EVERYTIME we come back to Kaz. We just want her to come home with us, so we can start becoming a family together and she can learn to trust us. Please Lord let this be it. Let her come home with us this time! Please!
After a little while, she warmed up and we had a GREAT time. She ate her cookie, with delight! And she drank some hot chocolate milk from her regular mug, of course. She sounded like a shop vac sucking down water....whew! :)
We played the piano together. The caregivers were coming to get her, but when they saw us doing that, they gave us more time. :) She loved it! She loves music and books so far the best. She is not fond of dolls or stuffed animals though yet. But I am sure later she will.
Then a little before they came to gather her up, she was passing toys back and forth between me and Shane. Which was HUGE! And it was SOOO good, but then they came and got her!
Its like RIGHT WHEN we make some kind of progress they come get her!! UGH!!!!
So we will spend today (saturday) and Sunday doing absolutley nothing, because there is NOTHING to do here! So anyone can call us, if you want. Email me and I will give you our phone number.
Keith and Cheryl sent pics of the Halloween Party they went to at their church and we got to see the boys in their costumes! They look like they were having SO much fun. It makes us feel better knowing they are having a blast. But, we miss them terribly. Thank you Cheryl and Keith for taking care of them so well.
Love to you all!

Cookies and piano - sounds like a fun time to me! I'm sorry the visits are hard with her not being sure and then time being up quickly. Oh that God would add an hour to the day like he did for the OT battle! Time could stand still and you could just be with her! Well - we will keep praying. I will email you more later today.
I know it seems so hard...but these are baby steps toward connecting for a lifetime together. Don't loose hope.
Enjoy your time quiet time alone while you can! You know within in minutes of arriving home to a house full, you'll miss your quiet time :) We miss you guys and pray that you will all be home sooner than later.
Hey there. We missed you all at the fall party. Jonah kept asking why Seth and Gage weren't coming. I can't imagine what you are going through but your faith and trust in God is amazing. Be patient and loving with Selah. Your time will come. Take care and stay warm.
