Too Much Stuff

Its so interesting to see the dynamics of a family of five change with the addition of one. I think it has probably opened Madeline's eyes the most. She has complained of Camille not playing nice with A, and I frankly point out where Camille learned that. A time of growing for all of us. A is doing so great. No tears at bedtime. Hasn't cried out for mommy once today or said that she wanted to go home. 10 days and what a miracle she is. She has fully adopted Big Hair for Madeline's name. I'm often called "My Nina", especially when Gram is around. I think A likes to show a little ownership. She is so easy and has opened herself up to so many new people. We are so enjoying having Gram & Gramps here, even if their RV sits out front.
I think that we could probably house at least 2 other girls with the amount of clothes we have in my girls' closets. But that is slowly changing. I am weeding stuff out, sorting between the 3 girls and getting rid of stuff. I would ask that each of you consider doing the same. There are so many people who are in need and so many places where we can donate our stuff. And, while I clearly know we have too much stuff there's still that voice that says, well if you get rid of that won't there be room for something new? Particularly for Camille. She is the most fun of anyone in the house to buy clothes for. That girl has a sassy style. Speaking of Camille, it makes my heart grow when I hear her & A playing for a couple of hours tonight. Please continue the prayers, because they are working! I know its hard for Camille, especially because A makes us laugh so much. I am proud of the small moments, such as Camille getting A's tennis shoes on her and even tieing them.
I guess next up for prayer requests will be for A as she has both dentist and doctor visits next week. Dentist on Tuesday and Doc on Thursday. I'm more nervous about the teeth. Thanks for joining me in my prayers for our A.
