Aunt Ashley and Sweet Ava visit

We love having visitors on the farm. I don't think any one (other than the grandparents maybe) get the kind of reception from the kids that my sister does. Emma and Aunt Ashley have been very close since the day Emma was born. If Emma had her way, there is a very good chance she would be living at Aunt Ashley's house instead of Gryder Farm. Mary Claire is a mess. Aunt Ashley probably would opt out of Mary Claire living with her. But that's ok. Mary Claire doesn't want Aunt Ashley.Mary Claire wants Aunt Ashley's baby. Ava. Look how skilled Mary Claire is - baby in one hand, sippy in the other.Mary Claire loves babies of all species. Mary Claire loves baby girls. Mary Claire loves Ava.This is Mary Claire's "Do Not Take My Baby" face. It's pretty effective. And when Emma finally demands she gets a turn holding the baby...this is what happens. Thank you for visiting us, Aunt Ashley and Cousin Ava!
