A visit from Monica and Gianna

Monica and Gia took a girls trip to Or. to see us all this last week. It was so much fun but went by way too fast! I miss them so much and little Gia is growing like a weed. For those of you who don't know the story behind Gia's birth, she was truly a miracle baby and my sister is a miracle in her own right considering we almost lost her due to a very complicated and rare pregnancy condition. I feel so blessed to have them in our lives....thanks for the wonderful visit!
