Lanie

 When I came back to Saudi in October after Olivia's birth in the US, I was BLESSED with a wonderful helper named Lanie!  Each Wednesday, Lanie would come to the house at 5:30 am and would do her magic until about 10:00.  When she left, our home was immaculately clean, picked up, and freshened!  I cannot tell you how much I looked forward to Wednesday mornings each week!

As someone who prides herself in keeping a tidy home, it was hard for me to turn over the deep cleaning to another person; however, Lanie became more than just our weekly helper, she became a great friend!  Lanie is such a sweet lady!  Both of the girls LOVE having her around.  During the week Savannah would ask where Lanie was and comment how she missed her.  On the days when Lanie came, Savannah was always so excited and wanted Lanie to stay downstairs with her!  :)

Going back to the US means saying goodbye to our wonderful Lanie, and we will truly miss her!  We love you Lanie!  Thank you for making life in Saudi so much easier!  We will miss you!
