Meeting the Grandparents

One week after Ava came home from the hospital my Dad & Rachel came to visit for 5 days.
They came to meet little Ava, but also to serve. Joe & I were blown away at how they blessed and served us from the moment they arrived. For our big girls it meant getting a coupon book in the mail a few days before Pop-Pop and Ray-Ray arrived. The book was full of coupons full of fun adventures that Pop-Pop & Ray-Ray would take them on once here. It also meant Christmas in July for all three girls as Dad & Rachel blessed them with so many fun and thoughtful gifts...perfect timing for Alathea & Abigail to get so much individual attention!

And I was blessed by getting sweet time with Ava Jean and lots of extra much needed rest while my big girls were out having one of the best weeks of their lives! And when Dad & Rachel brought the big girls home for naps, Rachel would clean and do laundry and then they'd take us out to dinner. We were so blessed by their visit!! I sooo wish they lived closer to us.

We ventured up to Birkdale one evening for some pizza, live music and the fountains
