April Happenings

 Here was our busy little family for 6 days as Ginnie and Wil went on their mission to Haiti.  The little girls fell right in step with our routine and we fell in love with their little personalities.  It was very healthy for our kids to experience what it is like to have small ones around the house; especially for Carter who only knows how to be the youngest.

 It was very hard for everyone to say good-bye to the girls when it came time for them to head to Grandpa and Grandma's house.  I was in big trouble for not having them stay the entire time at our house.
