Dinner Date

Last weekend we had Pops and Gammie over for dinner. It is nice to visit and watch the kids play.

Pops and Ayla...she was diggin' his beard.

Gammie & Evie

Braxton is showing Gammie his artwork! This was a Christmas gift from Gammie, and we just recently got it out. He loves it and pretends he is at school.Pops is telling Braxton a bedtime story.

Evie

Evie is really 'swimming' these days while on her tummy. She hasn't yet gotten her knees up under her, but she is close. She has started sleeping without a swaddle/woombie, and I usually find her face down in bed.

Ayla

Ayla is a good 'swimmer', too! And she thinks this is so much fun...look at that laughing expression :) And in the last photo you will see she has one knee up underneath her. She gets up and pushes, but unfortunately she goes backward. So, she has some more practicing to do, but at least she is enjoying herself!

dad & mom

just thought i would share a picture of us! this was sunday when we attended parent dedication orientation!

beloved brother

each night braxton looks forward to his bedtime routine...eat dinner, take bath/shower, brush teeth, read books, and sing songs!

one particular evening, i was tutoring and david was about to read books with braxton.

evie started crying and would not settle until david held her. trying to multi-task, he took her into braxton's room while braxton read in his bed. he eventually put evie in the crib, too, and braxton was so excited to tell her about thomas & his friends.

when i finished tutoring, i saw the two of them and my heart melted. but i felt bad for ayla, who was sleeping in her crib and missing out on sibling bonding time. so, i went and got her and placed her in the bed, too. braxton was thrilled. he even said it was ok for them to lay on his thomas blanket!!!

God has truly blessed me. braxton is the best big brother...EVER. i pray that even through the hard times he continues to be this amazing example. i pray the girls have an extraordinary relationship with their beloved brother.
