(almost) parents again!

Well, today we're (almost) parents again! We went to a meeting with DYFS
regarding Fred's grandson today and it went well. We went to the
courthouse with his daughter and filed for custody of him and are just
waiting on the judge to sign off on the paperwork. This evening we got
his bed and some essentials form the house and got him set up. Putting
him to bed was a little rough, but after about an hour he seems to be
asleep now. I figure the first week or 2 are gonna be rough until he
gets used to us as caregivers, but after that I'm sure it will work
smoothly.

It's amazing how things can come back from memory. Katya was 2 when we
adopted her. Fred's grandson is also about 2. It just seems natural to
have him here. Everything I learned with Katya is starting to come into
play now. I know its only temporary, and that is a good thing too.
