We were so blessed to have her. She was SUCH a help to us as we got all settled in here. She played with the kids, read books over and over to them (remember, we don't have our stuff yet...there's not a huge selection that we brought in our suitcases), swung in the hammock, took them to the playground, went for walks, made them food, and just basically loved on them. And, she taught Asa some great tricks. She worked with Asa alot, getting her to take her first few steps, getting her to wave, and she also taught her the "indian" thing where you hit your hand over your mouth while you yell (that's hard to explain typing it out). Not to mention doing a ton of dishes for us here. Mrs. Pam, she probably needs a break from the dish-doing for a while.
My kids have the same problem me and Joel do...they call the roll. So, lots of times Priscilla was called Mama. When Priscilla would make a fuss over it, the kids just loved it...and would then continue to call her Mama just to mess with her. :)
Anyhoo, a big, huge, gigantic thanks to Mama Priscilla for coming and staying with us and helping so much. Hopefully you had a great time (we did) and a great experience. We'll miss you. Go eat some Baskin Robbins in my honor. :)
In the airport about to board the plane in NYC. 
The end of the 9 hour flight to Brasil.
Priscilla had a few fun photoshoots with the kids. I have to say here though that although Grady is such a handsome little boy, he would've made a mighty pretty little girl too.
The kids saying goodbye to Priscilla last night. Hadley wasn't up for getting in the picture at first.
And then she was all smiles again. 
About to board. Saying goodbye.

Oh! Oh! Oh!
Remember those crazy hormones that get you all sad at tissue commercials when you're pregnant?
This too shall pass my dear friend. I love hitting that second trimester and feeling normal again. You will love Brazil, and God will bless you and prosper you while you are there.
Read the story of Joseph and his journey to Egypt as a slave. And how his family moved there as 70 members. Only to leave years later with over half a million! God grew them there in their servitude.
Rejoice, God has a promised land just waiting for you!
Love you!
