In April, my cousin Macy came out from Missouri for a visit. She stayed in Texas for almost two weeks and hopped to all the Schleicher & Walquist families' homes. We loved hosting her at our home for several nights and then also having her join us for multiple family events during the course of her stay. Macy's smile and positive spirit is infectious, and our kids absolutely adored her!
Macy always jumped right in to help whenever she could. Many nights, she read bedtime stories to our kids.
Macy was also genuinely interested in reading the books that Jaden and Cody had authored recently. The boys loved her encouragement!
Unfortunately, during the first part of Macy's stay, Adley came down with a tummy bug and was quite sick and feverish for a few days. Macy is a pediatric nurse, so she gave us wonderful guidance and reassurance in how to take care of our sickly girl. Once Adley started feeling better, Macy made a wonderful playmate for her! Adley especially enjoyed showing Macy how she can roll dice and make them spin with her fingers.
Macy also played a variety of games with our boys, including one of their current favorites-- Carcassonne.
Macy was able to support Jaden and Cody by attending several big events-- their piano recital, their 1st grade chapel, and one of their baseball games. Uncle Jon, Isaiah, Noah, Grammy, and Papa were also awesome cheerleaders for the same game.
Cody and Jaden were thrilled to learn that Macy is a talented basketball player (and coach!). The boys and Daddy enjoyed playing a couple games of driveway basketball with Macy.
We were so honored that Macy made the long journey out to Texas to visit us. She brought a lot of joy and laughter to our household during her stay. We are thankful for the light of Jesus that so clearly shines in her life! Thanks so much for being with us, Macy. We love you!
