A Quote from Rosanna

"I learned two things this week...1. I want to be a mom, 2. I dont want to do it anytime soon!" Rosanna

I've said it before. We LOVE Rosanna. She is amazing. While we were gone I got email updates from her. With cute stories and quotes from the kids. I LOVE that. 
She made a list of things the kids taught her while she was with them. 

She brings games and toys of her own to our house for the kids to play with. She makes up games and homemade crafts. The kids talk about these things for days after she leaves. 

Yes, she is a real person...not Mary Poppins. Although she seems to be. 

She prays with our children and for our children. She tells them about Jesus and makes Him REAL to them...not just a character.

They truly love her and she truly loves them. 

Rosanna, You say you learn from our family, but we learn more from you. You teach the kids endless lessons and you teach Jordan and I to enjoy the simplicity of childhood and the laughter of a child. You treasure things in our children that sometimes we miss because we are so 'busy'. 

For everything you think you learn from Lauren, Avery, Sully, Tess, Jordan and I...we learn 5 from you. 

Thank you for being in our lives. We treasure you. 

And to everyone else, No. You cannot have her. She is ours. 

Forever! 

Or at least till she gets married and has her own kids...and then we'll be ready to babysit for her!

We had the privilege of having Rosanna babysit our 5 youngest yesterday while we hosted a youth activity. She was the ONLY ONE from church to volunteer. The kids had so much fun!

She is an amazing example of a true servant.
