A Full House and a Full Heart

It was a crazy weekend but I loved it. You see this amazing girl came to visit us and brought her someone special.  She is an single mom who has an amazing heart for God and so much talent.  Her annual trip north has been a highlight of our year.  This time however, she brought along someone special.  We had the honor of meeting Tim who has become a very important part of her life.  It was so exciting to see them so happy and sappy.

We went to the 4th of July parade where Kevin drove the new dive truck.  The kids loved getting candy and seeing all the floats and of course we had to stay for the fireworks.

 The next night we went to the drive in the see Despicable Me 2.  Kevin picked up matching minion shirts for the kids and we all loved the movie.

But one of my favorite parts of their visit was having our kids enjoy playing together.  The adventures they created while saving the princess and defeating the pirates entertained them throughout the weekend.  Emma loved having another girl around and Jack had fun leading the adventure.

Every year when Kayli and Liese come, it is such a joy.  They have become part of the family.  I love hearing how God is working in her life.  We also consume a crazy amount of junk food, watch some kind of superhero action flick that I fall asleep through, and laugh a ton.

But the thing I love best is watching how God is working in her life.  I love seeing where he is leading her and how she has grown.  It is exciting to talk and dream together.  She is a reminder to me of the redemption and grace of God!
