My Daughter is Coming for a Visit!

Yes, you did read the title correctly. I know you all think I have just 4 boys, but I have a daughter that I get once a year. Her name is Rachel. That is actually what I was going to name two of my boys had they been girls. Ok, so Rachel isn't really my daughter, but I love her just the same. My dear friend, Tina, was my neighbor. Rachel and Joshua are the same age and were in class together. In 2003, Tina needed someone to help with Rachel for 2-4 wks. during the summer. Tina's grandmother helped with the kids and was going home for a visit. Well, during her visit, she fell and broke her hip. The few weeks turned into an entire summer. It was the greatest! Rachel truly became part of our family. Tina has sinced moved to Kentucky, near Louisville. It has been so hard to have her farther away. It is so great to have Rachel for one full week every summer. The boys call her their "sister" and Scott and I enjoy a "daughter" for a little while. Rachel has asked her mom if she thought she would be "blog worthy" after this visit. I told her I was so excited she was blog worthy before she even gets here!! I will take lots of pictures for new blogs. We get her tomorrow evening. Please pray for her families safe trip and for her mom's seperation anxiety!
