God has been really providing us with everything we need and its amazing how quickly everything is coming together. We are 99.9% sure we have found a house and we will be moving the weekend of April 13th : ) We had a garage sale and sold a lot of stuff and we have started packing everything in preparation for the big move : ) We will be having a moving party Friday the 13th for anyone who is interested in helping us move : ) Pizza, dessert and drinks will be provided to anyone willing to help us move.

We have our pre home study scheduled for April 19th @ 4:30. YAY! I have one book report left to do and James has 2 and then ALL of our paper work will be complete minus the fire escape plan, fire inspection and health inspection since we cant do those things until we are moved in.
My cousin started selling Scentsy and has been kind enough to offer to do a fundraiser Scensty catalog party for us. We will receive 20% of all sales for that party to help towards the cost of getting the room ready for the girls..... beds, bedding, toys, etc! I will have more info on this ASAP : )
Last but certainly not least, James and I sat down with Kamdyn tonight and read his adoption book to him for about the hundreth time except this time, when we finished reading it to him we asked him what adoption meant to him. He said that adoptiom meant getting new parents because your other parents couldnt take care of you. We told him that was correct. Then I explained to him that God decided that he decided it was time for mommy to have a baby so he put a teeny tiny baby in my tummy and he grew and grew and grew for 9 months and then when he was big and strong enough mommy had a brand new baby to love. We explained that mommy did not adopt him since he grew in my tummy. But that he WAS adopted. We asked him" if mommy didnt adopt you, who do you think did" he sat there for a second and then his little face lit up and he said DADDY!?!? I said thats right! He jumped up and jumped into James' lap, wrapped his arms around him and kissed him on the head. We then explained to him that the man who God chose to be his dad was named Ritch and he unable to take care of him and wasnt doing a very good job of loving him and giving him the things he needed so thats why mommy and Kamdyn lived with mimi and pawpaw and they helped take care of him for a while. Then one day mommy met a man named James. Mommy and James fell in love and James fell in love with Kamdyn and thought he was very special so he decided he wanted to be Kamdyns daddy forever so he wanted to adopt him. Kamdyn was giggling and laughing the whole time and just kept hugging James and kissing him. I also explained to him that Ritch has 3 other boys who are Kamdyns bioligical brothers. I asked if he would like to see a picture and he said sure. I showed him a picture and told him who everyone in the picture was. He asked why Ritch didnt want to take care of him.... I explained to him that he was just not in a good place in his life and not able to give him the love he needed at that time. He then pointed to Ritchs boys and asked who took care of them. I let him know that sometimes Ritch would take care of them and sometimes Ritchs mom would take care of them. I asked if he had any questions and he said no. I then asked how it made him feel.... happy, confused, sad, angry? and he said "im just kind of like whatever" LOL Then he said "it makes me happy because I have a daddy to love me now" and then he started wrestling and playing with James just as if he hadnt been told anything at all. I know with time, he will have many more questions but for now, he took it very well and seemed very uninterested in knowing anything about Ritch. Thank you God for allowing my sweet tender hearted baby boy to see the positives to this and not waste his time worrying about a man who walked away from him but instead focus his attention on the daddy who loves him!!!!
