Today the tiredness has hit us after a really long day so this update is going to be a brief one!
We set off at 7.30 this morning to meet Hope for breakfast and spent a couple of hours with her before her morning nap. She was really pleased to see us and she is really becoming much more comfortable and familiar with us.
We went back to Merthyr for a few hours to spend time with the boys and then went back to see Hope as a family at 2pm. We took her to a local soft play area which the boys absolutely loved - she wasn't as keen but was just happy to sit on our laps and bond! Lovely.
We then had our first family meal together at a local restaurant and then headed back to take Hope back to her foster family.
Mummy and daughter bonding time followed whilst daddy and the boys played with the rest of the foster family on the bouncy castle (yes, they have one in their back garden - it's huge!).
One of the things we are really grateful to God for is how nice the foster family have been and how well we have got on together. We spent some time with them after Hope had gone to bed - just grateful for these guys and grateful for the way they have cared for our daughter for the first 16 months of her life.
Family day out tomorrow - the Mumbles is on the agenda.
Quote of the day today (from Alfie):
"Mummy/Daddy - Swansea is a different country and people speak a different language - they speak Swan!" Can sort of see what he means!
Rest needed, until tomorrow...
Thanks again for messages, thoughts, prayers etc. All appreciated.
