What have the arnold fam been doing?

This is what the arnold fam have been up to lately,

Dan is still working full time at CIT Inc (he is a financial analyst) by day and by night he is a Target employee. Dan has applied to target 4 times since we moved to north carolina and 2 weeks ago he got a call, interview and an on the spot hire. He started last saturday. (Praise God) Dan also sings with the First Baptist Indian Trail Choir and was asked to be in a men's ensemble group.

Kim works part time from home for GE Money as a customer service representative. I started watching children in my home, I currently watch a little boy Lucas. What a blessing, he comes from a christian home. The family moved from Miami to North Carolina, last summer. I will start watching my nephew, Trevor, in the summer. He and Kaili will start kindergarten together at Benton Heights Elementary school in July. I have a baby that should be joining our Klan in October, the mother is a school teacher at Walter Bickett. Dan and I teach Dakota's Sunday school at FBCIT.

Kaili is half way through her Pre-K class at the Walter Bickett Education Center, she is doing phenomenal. She loves going to school, this has been the most positive and rewarding experience for her. Kaili is becoming more assertive and social. She takes a leadership role in class and has learned so much since August. She is prepared for Kindergarten. Kaili will be attending Benton Heights Elementary School next year. Kaili's first tooth is lose, of course everyday we need to look in the mirror to see if we are closer to it falling out. Kaili is in her 2nd year at AWANA's a christian program at our church, she is reciting bible verse's learning about gods goodness and faithfulness. It is awesome to see her growth and love for the lord. She loves to sing and dance, she will start a cheer leading class in May. I am looking into some gymnastics and sports activities for her as well.

Dakota has been enjoying some time home with mommy while Kaili is in school, but he is excited and ready for Pre -K. I pre-registered him for the Pre-K program a few weeks ago, he will be tested in June and then class assignments will be posted early July. I am hoping that he will attend the Pre-k class at Benton Heights then Kaili and him will ride the same bus. Dakota is involved in his 1st year at AWANA's, he to is reciting bible verse's and learning about gods goodness and faithfulness. The questions that he asks is a true testament, he is on fire for god and loves to talk and ask questions. Dakota loves playing with his trucks, cars, and anything that makes noise. He is just like daddy in that he could watch movies all day long. Anyone that knows Dan knows what a movie lover he is, well like father like son. Dakota will be taking Karate starting in May, I am also looking for sports activities for him.


Kyra - Joy has been growing like a weed, she is almost as tall as Dakota and doesn't seem to be slowing down. We were concerned about her speech, since she really never spoke much that we could understand. But over the past few weeks she is starting to speak with more clarity, she is becoming our little chatter box. She will stand and talk to me with her little arms moving and head bobbing, I maybe able to distinguish a few words but she is so proud of her self. It is adorable. She loves playing with her brother and sister, sometimes, she asks as if Kaili is her mommy. ( quite cute )

Well that is about it for What have the arnold fam been doing.

Praise God

Sometimes it is hard to consistantly praise god and look for his guidance... our family has struggled since our move 2 years ago to North Carolina. God has taken us through some eye opening battles especially with finances. I look back over the past 2 years and realize that Dan and I are closer to the lord and truely listening to what his plan is for us. That has been a struggle, we have always looked and planed for what we feel are the needs of our family. God has opened up doors over the past few months to clearly identify to us what his plan and wish for us is. I praise god for his wisdom and guidance, guidance I know I do not have alone and only through him can I make wise and godly decisions. Thank you to all who have been praying and continue to pray for our family.
