We left yesterday afternoon at 4:30pm to pick up Barry’s mom, his cousin, and his two boys from Hattiesburg. We got back at like 2:30am, came home and got everyone in the bed, and then Barry and I went to WalMart to get all the food for today. This morning, we got up at 10:30am and I cooked dressing, sweet potato casserole, cream corn, brownies in the shape of hearts (awww LOL), potato salad, and spaghetti. We also had a red velvet cake and some sweet potato pies that his mom’s friend sent up here with her last night. We watched the draft… nothing happened for us today, so we’re looking forward to tomorrow :) After the draft, Barry took the boys (Kylan, Kaleb, and Tre) with him and Kendall for a while and I cleaned up the house and finished laundry.
It is now 1:14am and let me tell y’all– I never even imagined how hard it would be to put SIX kids to sleep LOL THEY ARE STILL UP!!! But it’s all good… they are playing and having fun so I don’t guess it can hurt much- they will just probably sleep the morning away :) It’s so nice to have Kylan and Kaleb here- it’s the first time in their lives that we’ve ever been able to get them, so things are definitely turning around and changing for the better! A lot of people have said that they don’t understand how I can feel the way I feel about them- loving them like I do my own… well they are Barry’s, and he is part of me, so what does that make them? A PART OF ME TOO! The Lord makes NO mistakes, y’all… believe that! Anyway, here are a couple of pics of all the kids from today!

Kat,
WOW! What a group of kids. LOL They are all SO cute. The kids all look SO happy together. I am so glad to hear the way you speak about the boys. You are an awesome Momma, and they will see that in you. Your love (in actions AND words) will go a long way to help the boys become the men they should be. Your love of the Lord is so obvious, and they can not help but see that in you. You are an amazing woman and I admire you. Keep up the faith girl, the kids are watching. LOL Hug them all for me. Love you BUNCHES!
I will definitely keep my fingers crossed all day. I am so glad to here that you got the boys. It must be really exciting for the kids, especially Tre, since he is so used to having nothing but girls around. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
Awwww how sweet. I of course know what has happened with the other children so I’m so glad to see that the girl has finally come to her sense and allowed you all to be a part of their lives. All of them look so happy and the 2 K boys :) resemble Taliyah alot! Anyhoo just babling lol Good luck today
