We have had a great weekend. We spent Saturday morning at home with the girls and then our lovely babysitter (whom we absolutely adore and our girls adore) came over and watched the girls while Matt and I went to the Razorback baseball game. We then went and ate dinner with my mom and Mike and Michael, jody and paige. It was so great to see them and get to spend some time together. We miss all of you and don't get to see you near enough!

Alyssa has a big heart. She hurts for the hurting and loves others just as Christ calls us to love others. She has no reservations and no preconceived ideas about people. She just loves unconditionally. She is such an example for me. She wants to help everyone and even at 3 years of age, she is getting it. She watched a video of some of our friends that recently went to Africa and she immediately had questions. I answered her questions and she quickly emptied out her pockets (she had filled them up with change earlier in the morning). I asked her what she was doing and she said she was giving all her money to "that Mam!" "That Mam" was the African girl in the video she just watched. She then proceeded to tell me we needed to move to Africa to help all the orphans. She is sweet. She is kind. She loves others. May I never forget the hurting. May I never miss an opportunity to help one in need. To show my children Christ and how he calls us to love others!

Here are some pictures of my little sweeties!
