Instant family

Phew...what a day. A friend of ours have inherited their niece & nephew for at least 90 days due to family issues. They went from zero to 2 kids in 24 hours. No preparation whatsoever. We try to help out with clothes and toys where we can but most of the baby clothes we have are already gone. I can really feel for them since I know how much work 2 kids can be but to be thrown in this situation must be overwhelming at times for them. The children consists of a 5 year old girl and an 11 month old boy. We had the kids over today all day and it's been an experience. Tyler is excited to have another friend near his age to play with and for the most part, they get along. It is the least we can do to ease the stress and make the children feel safe & secure. So far a lot of people with kid items have been donated so that has been a great help. I am just thankful that these children had their aunt & uncle willing to take them in who will love and protect them.
