Rose calls our friend Kara, Miss Ka-wa!  It’s the cutest thing!  The girls absolutely love her spontaneous visits to come play with us, and she’s usually got something girlie up her sleeve (treats) that the girls go crazy over.  Her bag of tricks are never-ending, but I’m not too far behind her.  She has taught me well, lol!  Due to her busy life, she’s always popping in and out, which is perfect for our crazy life too!  Noelle, Anna Kate, and Rose each look up to Kara in different ways, and it’s so special to see the way they each interact with one of their role models!  Kara plays with the kids, while Mike and I get supper on the table, then we all get to hang out during dinner time, then it’s off for showers, one more snack, brush teeth, books and bed.  Kara just mixes right in with our night time routine, and as much as she helps move the girls along from one activity to the next, you’d think she does this for a living!  She is so versatile in her many talents; She can do whatever she wants to do in life!  So proud of our Ka-wa!

*Rose got a Madeline Alexander Baby Alive Doll for her birthday.  She is so excited to have a similar doll to the big girls’ American Girl Dolls, but our family tradition on that is when one of our girls turn 5 years old, that’s when they get to pick one special AG Doll that will be theirs forever!  This is a special tradition/milestone we enjoy looking forward to with our kiddos.  Speaking of 5 year olds, Anna Kate just got her Julie doll this week for her very special American Girl Birthday coming up in the next few weeks!
