Our Ansley

We had a very fun visitor Monday - "our" Ansley was home from college for a short fall break and she got to come and eat lunch and play with us!

Now "our" Ansley has the distinction of being the only babysitter my children have ever had.

Ansley did a great job breaking this new mom in 6 years ago. I distinctly remember writing her notes the first time she watched Elisabeth, something along the lines of: "Heat her milk for exactly 13 seconds, at 7:04 p.m. give her a bath..."

Ansley was on our "welcoming committe" when we arrived home with Elisabeth

She would take lots of cute pictures during her time with my children and look at them with me when we got back home...or even send them to us on Jas' phone while we were on our date! And then when we got home she and I would sit together and she would give me a blow-by-blow of their evening...things this mom definitely needed then. (I've chilled considerably since those early days of parenthood!)

Now that Ansley is in college, we don't get to see her as often, but my kiddos practically mow her down in the hallway at church when she is home visiting. AND, we love it when she gets to come play and visit with us when she's home.

This precious girl has such a heart for God. She's been on mission trips to Brazil and most recently to post-earthquake Haiti. Ansley plans to be a Speech Therapist (which she will be so good at!). She wants to glorify the Lord with her work and and right now is looking to travel on a medical missions team after she's done with school.

And this precious girl has such a heart for orphans. She took it upon herself to "suggest" our Love The Least Conference facebook page to all her friends...and earned us a bunch more "likes" in the process! AND she is getting together a bus of people from her college to come to the conference!
















We love you, Ansley! We're so blessed to have you in our lives...and we can't wait to see how the Lord is going to use you in the future! Keep on living for Him!
