Are You KIDDING Me!
How have I not blogged about this yet!?????!!!!
FLAVIA FLAVIA FLAVIA FLAVIA FLAVIA!!!!!!
Our sweet "German girl" (as the kids referred to her the first week she was here) is AWESOME!
Everyone needs a Flavia! She is like having a two extra (strong) arms and an extra (extremely brilliant) brain.
We start to get ready to go somewhere and BAM! shoes, water cups, jackets, are all by the front door. Kids are buckled in their seats before I even find my purse.
She's an angel.
She reads to Addie and plays ball with Troy, walks around the house with Mia and indulges Ben in his insatiable desire for all things crafts.
She is an answer to prayer.
The first week she was here she was on the quiet side, taking us all in I think. Then, bless her heart, we moved. And she was a saint to have during that stressful time. She just does, and gives, and lives so thoughtfully and kindly. She is fun to talk to, and compare lives and cultures with. I love learning about Germany from her.
Many, many times I look at her and already feel so sad that at the end of August she'll be leaving us.
What a gift she is to our family, and what a friend she has become to me. I am SO thankful for Flavia!
