joining the mainers.

hey everyone!!!
sorry that it has been forever since i have updated this, i know you're all waiting anxiously :)
well, we are now in maine, and getting settled into our new home. we've been here a few weeks, in training and all that jazz, but for this christmas weekend we are on our own. well, we have one kid with us too, one went home, and the other is arriving after christmas.
so, it has been interesting and challenging so far, but we're pretty excited about everything. oh, for those of you who don't know, we are working as a 'therapeutic foster couple' in an organization for people with mental illness. the kids are off school right now, so we are basically on 24 hours a day. fun stuff.
anyway, it is good, but we are missing everyone like crazy, especially at christmas, i would really like to be home for a visit right now!!!
naomi and matt are stopping by today for a little bit on their way home from ohio and new york city, so that will be good.
everyone, take care and have a wonderful christmas!!
love
gem and joe
