"where's lindsay?"
a question elle asks often, especially after church and Thursday at bedtime.
who's lindsay? you ask...an amazing 6th grader who loves to hang out with our kids. who could ask for more. it's so fun to see the three of them play together. lindsay's family ties with the white family have come full circle now. when she was much younger anna {josh's sister} use to babysit lindsay and her younger sister abbey. now it's lindsay in the babysitter role. we've had a great time getting to know lindsay and love that we can spend an afternoon each week with her. what a gift she has been to ellington and beckett.
while she's still a little too young to babysit alone, we love the fact that she wants to learn. a few months ago we were approached by her parents to let her do this, so she could learn more about responsibility and spend time with other christian young couples. amazing idea! how could you say no to that? lindsay has such a strong and confident personality {something i wish i had had at her age, or even now}, she doesn't mind stepping in and doing usually household tasks, juggling both kids so i can make dinner, or even reminding elle to obey.
each week i try to plan something fun for them to do together. bubbles was obviously a hit!
lindsay is positive beckett is going to walk soon!...keep trying buddy :)
and of course in the middle of the heat wave for May, we had to bust out the sprinkler. lindsay didn't want any pictures taken since she was wearing one of my "lakeshore" shirts and she goes to "st.joe" it's amazing we even let her come to our house!!! :)
THANK YOU Lindsay & WE LOVE YOU!!!
