3 plus an extra girl.

Michael's brother Joe has a daughter named Loryn (12) that lives in CA and she comes and visits in the summer and Christmas time. Loryn has been in town for almost 5 weeks and she has spent a couple of days with us. Joe had to work out of town for four days with the NAVY so Loryn split her time between us and Aunt Jenny and Uncle Jake. It is really nice having Loryn around she is a great little girl. Loryn has 4 sisters so she is a great mommy's helper. I struggled with this becuase I wanted her to be a guest in our home and not a baby sitter. She loves helping with the babies but I did not want her to feel like she had too. Loryn always helps out her mom with her two sisters in CA and I know she trys to help out her dad with her two sisters in TN.

We had lots of fun with Loryn spending time with us. The girls really like spending time with her and Michael and I got some glimpse in to the future. To see what it will be like to have a pre-tween in our home. The girls went swimming and played lots inside. It has been really HOT and rainy it does not leave much time for out door play.
One night we even let Loryn have the girl next door spend the night with us too. Big Emily is another sweet girl that I enjoy being around too. Thank goodness we have extra beds to add in all these extra girls. I love it, girls are our LOT in life and we are embracing it!!
