Back-Posting 2: Kidd Kids

I regret I didn't have time to blog about this when it happened because it was so much fun but I was just too busy. About 3 weeks ago, Danny and I met Doug and Lynn 1/2 way to pick up all 3 of their girls: Haley (almost 13), Amelia (10) and Reagan (8) for their visit with "Aunt Jacqueline and Uncle Danny." You may recall about two years ago, we did the same with Zoe's 4 kids and we had a blast.

To say we had a good time with these 3 munchkins is an understatement. My poor husband was almost over the edge in wanting to have a baby girl of our own! Not only did we have sooo much fun, we were truly blessed by them. Yes, these children loved each other and loved us well.

This is my public affirmation of Doug and Lynn's parenting because the wonderfulness of these girls should be credited to their parents. Everytime I was in the kitchen, Haley would ask if she could help or if I needed her to do anything. They were always helpful toward us and each other. They were grateful and often wanted to make sure we didn't go out of our way for them. I don't know what kind of animals they are at home, but they were angels with us. They were giggly and affectionate and fun and I fell more in love with each of them I thought possible.

I think Lynn and Doug thought we were doing them a favor, but honestly we had so much fun I think it was the other way around. My heart gets sad thinking it will be a long time before we all spend time together again.

And this is for Haley: "You're all soooo cute and fluffy, I could die!!"

Pictures below show swimming, haircuts, cleaning dishes, Indian dancing, posing, silliness and more silliness. I'm exhausted again just thinking about our time together......
