Some people enter your life and you feel like you've always known them. It's that way for Kaela with Danene. Four and a half years ago we were put in a new ward for church. I was expecting our fifth child and Troy was going to be sitting up on the stand. I wasn't sure what I was going to do when the baby was born because Kaela liked to sit on my lap every Sunday. A beautiful single lady sat in front of us, Danene, and when the baby was born, she took over with Kaela for me. Kaela sat on her lap every week. Then, last year, life got even sweeter, she became Kaela's primary teacher. As a result, Kaela has developed a very special relationship with Danene, and to say that she loves her would be an understatement. When we moved from the ward last summer, it was really hard for Kaela. She missed and still misses Danene terribly. There are days when she will cry for her, make her special cards, or insist we go visit her. Luckily, Danene lives close. She even came to visit us last Sunday. She brought Kaela a gift from her trip to Africa. She told us all about the volunteer work her and her sister are doing with a village in Mali. Kaela was beaming. In the pictures above you can see the exuberance in Kaela's face when Danene gets to the house. We love you Danene. Thanks for loving us, and especially Kaela!!
P.S. Danene is still single-hard to believe, I know, with how pretty she is-so if any of you out there know of any great guys we can line her up with, leave me a note!
