Court Date? and "Firsts"

Today was a glorious day. It was the very first time that I have received a photo of my precious children "together" and a photo period that was taken by a parent. I have some pics from Snapfish but they were never taken intentionally. I asked the parent if she could take a photo of them together. Although they are not siblings, it is unbelievable how much they look like siblings. I seriously couldn't stop crying. It was such a precious moment for me to see them together. I immediately ordered a 5x7 and counting down the time to pick up the picture from the store. In fact I will pick it up as soon as I have written this post. My Carolyn has hopefully returned with Yordi and she has taken a photo of my kids also. Once she is settled in a few weeks I will probably get a photo from her and Lisa is over there picking up her daughter and her blog has said that she has already made it to KM. This is beautiful to have finally connected with families that are taking photos of my children.

I also read on our yahoo group that the group before us has been assigned court for October 11. Really I am sure there is a typo because that is a Saturday so I would assume it would probably October 10, which is a Friday. That means my group will be assigned for October 17. Please note that this is just a guessing game and I gave not gotten an email from the agency but so far I have been right on by my calculations even down to court by just watching the blogs and groups. So that means I can have high hopes to have my children home right before Christmas IF they pass court. Remember my kids are not sibs so they will be heard as 2 different cases.
