The week was spent making phone calls, adjusting the old girl stuff to two of everything boyish. The boys were used to sharing a space so despite a 4 bedroom home the plan was to have them share while they adapted. I think it was hard for some of our friends and family to get excited after seeing the pain we endured with Skylar. By the grace of God, Chad and I never looked back. We were able to move forward with little to no fear. Hallelujah!
God's hand was in this. From clearing my congestion and cough before the boys came, to extra cash for two car seats, two booster seats, well you get the picture. We heard back after the weekend from our case worker. The boys foster mom fell in love with us and wanted the boys to be with their "forever family" despite it being hard for her to lose them.
Thanks to the favor shown from the foster family CPS made the efforts to quickly place the boys with us. They came to us 2 weeks before Christmas on December 14, 2007. Because of the boys being so close in age (11 months) and size we saught to create individuality by calling Jayden J.D. (for no other reason than he had a 'J' and a 'D' in his name). JD was 3 at the time and we felt he was too old for a complete name change. Kayden was shortened to Kade.

My girls are 11 1/2 months apart also! You will have to tell me how it is when they are older. SO far so good.
