This week we get to leave the state with the twins and go to the Navigators National Conference in Louisville, KY. It was a last minute decision to try and get permission to take the girls with us because they are just not doing well with new environments and new people. I was not liking the idea of having to put them in respite for the 5 days we were going to be gone. Respite is basically just when a foster child goes to another foster family for the time that we are out of town because it is not always possible to take foster kids with on every trip that we make. We would love to always take our kids with us, but it requires permission from the caseworker, birthparents, and attorneys, so permission is not always granted.
We are just thankful to have received permission to take the girls with us. It is going to be an adventure flying with twins! We have never traveled with children before, and our first experience will be double the trouble! If you have any traveling tips let us know :-)
Once we get to Louisville we are going to be blessed by my parents presence as they will be driving down from Chicago to come help with the girls. Shaun and I will be busy going to various conference events for much of the day so we are so thankful that my parents were willing to come and help with the twins. It should be a fun 5 days!
