The Harms 7 visit

Avery did not lack entartainment during our 4 day stay in the Harms household. There were cousins to read to her, cousins to play "figurs" with, cousins to watch dance and sing and go nuts, cousins to bounce her off of grandma's air mattress, cousins to ride her around in little cars, cousins to crawl inside bouncy seats with, and most of all cousins to kiss. Oh what fun we had in Iowa. I do pray that one day Avery will live close enough to her cousins to meet them at the park, or meet at the ice cream shop, or have sleepovers at each others houses (I do believe Erin would get the better end of that deal)
But seriously, Erin and Don are amazing parents, what a picture of self-sacrifice it is to watch them continuously put these 5 little ones needs above their own. God has given them such a great task and He has proven Himself oh so faithful for providing them with enough grace to get through each one of these crazy busy days. (oh and Mrs. Nancy Houle is amazing as well.... laundry, dishes, breakfast, lunch, dinner, being the "dolly" during play time....what a grandma these 6 have and what a mother Dave and Erin have)



( I cannot believe we got home with not a single pic of dear, sweet Chloe...maybe Don and Erin will send me one and I'll post it)
