Family



So, I often blog about how much I love my family. I'm sure you, the reader, get very tired of hearing about them. But I don't apologize about it. My world revolves around two things, my relationship with God and my family. This summer seems to have been very busy, but still we have had lots of fun with our extended family. Some of them live here in the Houston area, but most of them live far away. I've posted pictures of my nieces and nephews but today, you meet Aunt Jan and Maegan. (yes that's how you spell her name)

My aunt and cousin came to see us and spent almost a week. I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed them being here. Aunt Jan actually baby sat for us while we went to a leadership retreat one night, and in heroic fashion took on the task of my kids camp laundry. She truly is wonderful! My son fell in love with Maegan and rightfully so, she is beautiful! Gabby looks up to her, and I have already explained the HUGE responsibility that is. We even snookered them into stayin one extra night, but the whole concept of transferring down here didn't really fly. You can't blame a girl for trying! We even decided to get crafty and made tie dye t-shirts one night. Jaden decided to open the green dye bottle with his teeth,so needless to say we were dealing with green lips, teeth, and so very much more! When you vacation with the Ayala's...there's never a dull moment! SERIOUSLY!!

I NEVER tire of hearing about your family. It is your second priority .. Just as God has planned.
