A Post For Dad's Return

15 March 2013

Dad, since you have been gone I....

stopped drinking out of a bottle and started using a sippy cup. 

grew a whole inch...maybe more! 

learned a few new words like coat, bye-bye and no, no, no no. 

found out I can go to sleep without crying when mom lays me down. (Yes, it's true!)

have been brushing my teeth and even have a molar coming in.

learned how to walk a whole lot faster and climb stairs!

But most importantly, Dad

I missed you a whole bunch!

Forward Facin'!

9 March 2013

 I had to post these pictures of B and his new forward facing car seat.  Not a single word all the way to Thetford today. He just looked out the window with a blank stare watching the cars and trees whiz by.  The way home was a different story, but at least I could see his lil chub face and keep him happy with snacks.

 
B ridin' in style!

We drove to Thetford today so we could have at least one more play date with Braelyn. B loved on her like there was no tomorrow! So sweet. Their first and third play date pictures are below. I can't exactly remember how old Bradyn was in this picture, but I'm guessing five-six months. They are just four months apart in age.

What A Wonderful Day!

3 March 2013


 We had such a great day with our friend Sarah and her daughter, Cale.  We ate lunch and dinner together. The two of them even took B off my hands for a few hours while I got caught up on some grading at school.  Ah, it feels good to be prepared for the work week.  It feels even better to be with a friend who knows what it's like to not have dad around.  So thank you, Sarah! You made my load so much lighter and my outlook on the next two weeks a whole lot brighter!

All of Bradyn's quiet moments make up for the sometimes loud and crazy ones.
