Enjoy the new pictures! We have 3 cameras we use in our household: mine, Brian’s little one, and Brian’s big one. There is never a time when all the cameras’ new pictures are on my computer at the same time. So, I just post pictures from one camera at a time on our web site. There are still so many more to post! Make sure you check out the Disney World pictures, as well as the Ainsley and Braxton pages.
A lot of fun has happened since our last post. Every day could have a post of it’s own with these kiddos! We finally made it to Disney World for Ainsley’s birthday. Right when we walked into the park, the big parade started. This was my highlight for the day. Then, we were able to watch the main show on stage by the castle. This was all within 30 minutes of being there. It was time to move on when the wicked witch entered the stage. Ainsley does not stick around for anything scary. But she LOVES roller coasters and heights, so Dumbo and the other rides were her favorite. When Ainsley is in a new environment, especially with crowds around, she is not herself. Normally she is playful, enthusiastic, and happy. But in overstimulating or crowded places, she becomes withdrawn and serious. She is an observer! This has been who she is since she was a tiny baby. So, we knew that she would not show her enjoyment on her face, but that she was having fun. The next day we heard all about how great Disney World was. She loves taking her baby dolls to the Disney World parade here at home. Grammy gave her $10 to spend at the Disney store, and she chose Monsters, Inc. characters. She LOVES them! And Papa and Kaymi gave her Minnie Mouse pajamas because Minnie and Mickey are the best in her eyes!
Braxton stayed home with someone he trusts, and he did great. There was one part of the day when he cried for mommy by our bedroom door and fell asleep on the floor by the door. He couldn’t have missed us any more than we missed him though! I couldn’t wait to get home to my little guy! The next day, I think I snuggled and kissed him 10,000 times! Braxton keeps us laughing all the time! He loves to be silly. He’s so sweet to his sissy. Braxton loves to hug and kiss her. And if she needs something, he will go get it for her. Braxton’s favorite things are: being outside, bathtime and all things involving water, milk when he wakes up, Daddy playing the guitar, banana and zucchini bread, dancing, and playing, playing, playing. He also loves putting things back where they go, wearing nice clothes, listening to music while he sleeps, sweets, dogs, dirt, balls, and toy cars....among other things I haven’t mentioned. I think the top of his favorites list is his sister!
Our God loves to give! We recognize this every day. One big gift He gave us recently was a car...for free! We were down to one car in order to simplify, and someone just gave us another one! We are so humbled by this gift. We’re committed to honoring him in our finances, and it has changed our lives. We give Him glory.
This is a short post (for me), but at least I did it! We send our love to all of you!
