The cute DeKorne girls...

My pal Heids and her two precious kiddos came for a visit the last two days. I LOVED having them and was so happy to spend time with Ava and Kaiya...and, of course, Heidi. We did a whole lot of nothing other than...sitting, nursing, refereeing (why can my almost four-year-old still not share his toys very well with visitors!!? annoying!) and laughing at the chaos. It was fun chaos though..and I loved every minute of it. Between Ben and Ava there was non-stop talking the entire two days. We found ourselves just looking at each other and laughing at some of the funny things that were said and done. It felt so good to be with my friend. :)

Here is the best shot we could get of us with our babes. I don't think Natalie and Kaiya knew what to think of their crazy older siblings! We laughed so hard at some of the other pictures that were taken trying to get a "good one."

Just a few shots of the cutie pie Ava! She is seriously a hoot. She is such a great talker and has the cutest little voice. She was so sweet to Natalie and very interested in her ("Natalie cryin?" "Natalie poopin?" "Natalie sleepin?"...everything ended in an "i-n"...it was very cute!). I was also very impressed with her manners. She rarely forgot a please or thank you...pretty impressive for a not quite two-year-old! :)

And here are few shots of sweet Kaiya. She is such a good little thing. All you have to do is say her name and she smiles at you. I just kept looking at her and thinking how amazing and awesome it is that she is alive and perfect. The night before Heidi arrived, Ben and I were saying our prayers before bed and he stopped to tell me that he didn't need to pray for Kaiya because she "didn't have tubes in her anymore." Thank goodness for that! :) We are just so thankful that God healed her precious body!

Finally...just in case you haven't seen enough yet. Here are some of us with our littlest ones. Thanks for coming, Heids! I loved having you and miss you and your girls already!
