Mykaela

If you hang around our family very long, you will most likely get confused by another "M" name that gets mentioned quite often - Mykaela. Mykaela is our neighbor and baby-sitter. But she isn't just any regular old neighbor and baby-sitter she is seriously the best! Our girls love and adore her and Mykaela says the feeling is mutual. I never have to worry about our girls when they're with Mykaela... she does everything as I ask and even better. I always come home to some awesome game they made up or a craft Mykaela concocted with them. She is not a boring baby-sitter that sits on the couch. She actually told me that she gets sad when it's time to put the girls to bed because then it gets boring after that. Outside of babysitting, Mykaela is at our house on a regular basis just hanging out. We've gotten so used to having her around, missing Mykaela is going to be the hardest part of moving this summer. We're thankful she has a car though and it's only one mile away... that way we can still have impromptu sprinkler parties and hour long chat sessions sitting in the driveway!

So a few weeks ago Mykaela went to prom. We were there with camera in hand... we wouldn't miss it! The girls almost got shy around her because she looked so different... we're used to her in basketball shorts, t-shirt and a ponytail! Maya kept saying she looked like a princess! She looked great and I just had to include the sweetest picture of Mykaela with our girls.
