Fun With Little Ones!!!

We've had a LOT of little ones around here lately!

A couple months ago we started keeping these two sweet little ones one day a week. They are so precious!!

Our cousin, Noelle

Precious Patrick

One day we had 6 little ones!  It was so much fun!!

Livy's not afraid of dirty laundry!

Our neighbor's granddaughter, Ella, recently visited them for 3 weeks. We had the pleasure of having her in our home each weekday while they were at work. 

Ella busy with her schoolwork

Sarah helped Ella make this ABC book.

I love this video of Ella and Livy reading their word flashcards!!

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. -Luke 18:16

Hay Ride!

A few weeks ago our neighbors, the Cullifers, invited us over for a hay ride!

 Friends from church, Mike and Samuel...

 ...and the Gallaghers came along.
