Aunt Melli Visits!

Aunt Melli came to visit on Friday the 13th! We absolutely loved our time with her. She is the easiest person to have around, and we are so thankful we get to have her for a chunk of time. She loves us all so well as she endures the busyness of our life. We watched Jackson win third place in his tournament. Here, Melli is helping Raegan to get a shot.
Reading books.

We got to sample Sydney's creation. It was yummy!
It was so hard to have her leave which is evidence to the quality of time we had when she was here. We all love you, Melli!
