Kennedy has two new cousins!!!

For over a year now, our cousins Scott and Alison have been trying to adopt a child. It has been a long road of tiresome and emotional disappointment for them. However, this year, their Christmas wishes came true!! Not only are they going to be mommy and daddy to one little girl but two! They are thrilled!!! On Monday, they flew up to South Dakota where the girls are currently living with a foster mother. After long hours of paperwork for the first few days, they are now officially a family of four. The girls are named Sasha and Jasi. Sasha is 18 months old, and Jasi is 3. They are the sweetest little things in their pictures, and our family is excited about meeting them. This past week they hung out in South Dakota for a period of adjustment for the girls to get to know Scott and Alison. It has been an exciting week for them at a water park, the playground at the mall, and a trip to Mount Rushmore. They have already experienced some fun and amusing adventures. Today, the South Dakota DHS workers will be throwing the girls a going away party, and tomorrow, the family of four will all board a plane at 6:00 a.m. that is Arkansas bound! Scott and Alison are going to be amazing parents to these beautiful girls! We can't wait to meet our new cousins! Kennedy is ready to play! Welcome home you sweet little girls!
