We were so blessed and so incredibly grateful to have my sister Lindsay and her family down for the whole week we moved! While I would have liked to have taken that time off work to spend time with them just having FUN, the Lord provided a way for them to be here to make a very difficult time, so-much-better!!!
Most the time, Kelbie, Keaton, Parker and Tessa were so busy playing and enjoying each other, that they barely noticed all the chaos going on around them!
I can't even imagine what this all would have looked like for Parker and Tessa if they wouldn't have had the sweet company of their sweet sweet cousins.
Even though it was work-work-work, we made the very best of every opportunity we had to just enjoy each other!!
We even brought in all my old barbies for Kelbie ~ benefits of cleaning out the attic
She was in barbie-heaven ;)
Kelbie and Keaton could not have been sweeter to Miss Tessa.
Kelbie still wanted to hold Tessa even though she basically squashed her like a pancake! ;)
And Keaton was such a great big cousin.
The whole week he was always coming up with the sweetest ways to interact with Tessa.
This one melted our hearts :)
We sent Kelbie home with her selection of some of my old barbies for her birthday!
That smile on her face says it all!
We all got to go out to Tessa's last Spirit League baseball game too! It's always fun to get to share our new experiences with family...doesn't happen very often since they don't live close.
Needless to say, Tessa had LOTS of buddies that night!
Daddy, Parker, Keaton and Kelbie all helped Tessa bat and run the bases.
Even the HUGEST thank you would never be enough to explain what it meant to have the Blacks here for a whole week. Kyle and Darin worked so hard loading and unloading the trailer...over and over again. Lindsay helped me get the job done...without her, I would have just stood around looking at everything wondering how in the world we were ever going to get finished!
Thank you Kyle, Lindsay, Keaton and Kelbie! We love you guys so much and will always have such great memories of our time together!!
