The Sitters

Papa and Grandmere graciously offered to watch the kids while Mark and I were at Emmie's appointment and our quick getaway.  

Of course, the kids were ecstatic.

 Emmie managed to get quite a bit of cuddles and loving from them too!

 While we were there, Papa & Grandmere hosted two young ladies with Life Action Ministries as they came to minister at their church.  Not only were these two ladies homeschooled, they also were from large families.  So, being around our crazy kids was second nature.
