I want to start by saying, I love this warm weather! It is so great to take the kids outside everyday. This past winter was quite difficult for me and being able to take the kids outside has made a big difference!
Caleb is in his last week of preschool. Where did the year go? He has his preschool graduation tomorrow night. That just makes me laugh. I'm nervous about what we're going to do this summer with him. I'm sure we'll figure out a new routine though. I think we've figured out what Caleb is doing next year for school. We're planning on sending him to Grace Christian School for the Young 5's program. It's an all day program. Grace is about 25 minutes south of us, but thankfully we've found someone to carpool with! We had the kindergarten teacher at Grace test him and she recommended he do the Young 5's program. The kindergarten program is a little crazy at Grace. They want the kids to be at least 5 1/2 by September and basically the learning material is 1st grade level. So, if we had left Caleb at his current school he would have been in kindergarten next year, but we know that eventually we want Caleb at Grace. So, we just have to swallow our pride and not send him to kindergarten next year.:)
Life has also been changing for Cardale. Ryan and Jenn (she has the Still Cross Photography blog) are in the process of getting their foster care license. We're trying to have Cardale visit with them every weekend. Cardale can not spend the night at their house yet, but hopefully that will be allowed in the next couple of weeks. They may have their license by the end of June/early July and then Cardale can move in with them! The hearing to terminate his parent's rights is scheduled for June 11. Keep praying that termination goes through without any problems. It still makes me sad that we're praying for Cardale to be permanently separated from his Mom, but I truly believe that is in his best interest. Moving between two families is getting a little stressful for Cardale. His struggles are completely normal though and thankfully he won't remember any of this when he's older. Please keep all of us in your prayers as we transition Cardale to his new family!

What a great post Stacy! Brought tears to my eyes reading it! God definitely has His hands in this situation! Ry and I can feel His presence quite a bit; reassuring us, guiding us, and strengthening us!
Thank you again for everything! You guys are so great!
We'll keep you guys in our prayers as you have lots of changes ahead! Definitely enjoy the summer weather :)
How great that Cardale will be moving to a new home with people that you already know and who know him. That's a huge blessing for him!
Where are you guys at in the adoption process? Hope things are moving along smoothly. Do you have an ETA for your new little one?
