We are truly enjoying our time together. The kids are all getting along well and Josh seems to fit right in. I thought it was pretty amazing when I was talking to Chase about all of this and she said that it kind of feels like a puzzle piece was missing in our family, that has now been filled. We know that their are going to be challenges in the future, but right now things are going really well. I walked Josh around his middle school campus to talk to all of his teachers about being gone during finals and what he can do to keep up. As we were walking around campus we ran into his principal. He came right over to shake Josh's hand and then Josh politely introduced him to me. He shook my hand and pointed to Josh and said, "This is a good young man." Of course I agreed, but of course that is always nice to hear. Then as we walking a little farther along the path, I spotted a friend of mine and Brooklyn's teacher at Church. Before I could say Hi, Josh was waving to her and saying Hello Ms. Peterson! She turned and said hello to Josh and then realized I was standing next to him. She then covered her mouth and said "Oh my, this is your Josh... I love Josh!" She then told him that she had been reading all about him and had not realized that he was who we had been talking about. (She has been his teacher all year at a fun after school youth program called PULSE.) So thank you Kathleen for your comments to Josh at school and the sweet message that you left for him (and our family,) on the message board- it was wonderful to run into you yesterday!
