Playing with Aunt Tricia


This past weekend Aunt Tricia and Uncle Ryan came to Virginia to meet Anna. Of course, Alexis, Sydney and Mallory came too. We had a friend's house lined up for them to stay so that we could minimize the chaos in our house. Well, the friends were sick...and Tricia doesn't do sick....so they stayed with us! I trusted that God would handle the details and sweet Anna's heart since it was out of our control. And Anna did well. I do think we had a rougher night because of all the stimulation but it wasn't terrible. And she got to spend more time with her cousins and that was a good thing. I've got a picture of Anna with each member of the Short family. She and Mallory are only 7 months apart so we know they are going to be great friends as they get older. I am so glad that things worked out the way they did. Emily and Sarah loved having their cousins here for sleepovers and we got more time to visit too.
