THANKS!!!

While we were busy taking care of our sweet baby Eden, many family members were taking excellent care of our other three kids.  So, thanks so much to all of you who helped.  Even if you weren't physically here helping...if you were praying for us all that the week would go smooth, THANKS!  We appreciate all of you!

My Aunt Alena came and stayed Sunday through Tuesday.  How many kids can say they know their great Aunt so well?  My Aunt Alena is one of two aunts that we see regularly through the summer while we are up at the river so they were very familiar with her and love seeing her.  I think they had their battles (mostly Keziah because she is very strong-willed) but they did well otherwise.  Keziah had school on Monday (as well as Austin obviously) so Alena and Adah went to a coffee shop in our town where one of Alena's good friends owns it and they ate lunch.  They had a good time just the two of them.  Tuesday night Brian's mom took over.  She was there until Wednesday evening.  She took the girls to gymnastics from 4-5 and fed them supper.  My mom got there sometime after supper and was in charge until we came home Sunday.  Mom and the kids left after Austin and Keziah got out of school on Friday and stayed in CF until we came home Sunday.  Thank-you everyone so so much for all your help.  We don't know what we would do without you!

 

Here is a card that Alena helped the girls make for us.  She said Keziah was very particular on some of the clothes pieces and even made her cut them a couple different times to make them look more proportional!  I love how meticulous Keziah is!
