Thank you, Missy!

We LOVED having Missy come and live with us this summer! Dallin adores Missy and often asks, "Where's Missy?" He also likes to identify things around the house that belonged to Missy during her stay (Missy's bed, Missy's closet, Missy's toilet, etc.). She is probably grateful to have her own room again, but Dallin sure misses waking up his roommate at 5:45 each morning (either by putting his finger in her nose, hitting her face with his cloth ("Missy, wake up!"), or just staring at her until she woke up). Our summer consisted of swimming, sports classes, movies, cooking, playing at parks, biking, baseball games, trying to get Dallin to nap, trying to get Taylor to nap, changing diapers, bathing both boys, reading, playing speed scrabble (Missy is so good but she let me win a couple of times), cleaning, spending sister time at the end of the day when the boys were asleep (so much fun--the girl makes me laugh so hard I almost cry), seeing Mama Mia, going out to eat (our favorite: Joe's!), splash parks, batting cages, and parades. It may have not been an easy summer vacation for her, but I sure am grateful for all of her help with the boys and for the time we were able to spend together. We love you, Missy!
