The good life...

So this is what I call the good life......

Having a wonderful day with my sister...making lunch together for the kids...having Ava at our home for the afternoon and making brownies with her and reading her books while the babies napped....seeing Clay come in our door after his school day.....and watching Olivia cheer as she sees Luke and Isabel in her driveway!

They are officially moved in...and still in the works of unpacking, box by box...

but, making progress!  Kristen is unbelievable - I can't believe her attitude and 

energy she sustains for her kids.  

As Kristen and I stood together in her kitchen making lunch, we just kept saying how thankful we are to be together and to God for bringing the children together.   THey will actually know one another growing up.  

I am so thankful for my sister and her family!

I am also thankful for my other dear sister, KARA!!  She's home...she's really, really home!

It feels SO good to have her home.  She is so sweet!  When I saw her, it just felt like part of my heart came back.  Kara is such a special one!  She is here for another week before she goes to NY for her big new job!  We are so proud of you, Kara Ann

Kara, Kristen,  and Ava Grace....the night of the move in!

Don't u love Kristen's gas stove??  

All the kids....doing what kids do best - playing in the most peculiar places :)

Welcome to Alabama everyone!!!!!!
