Fun at the Splash Park

Today we took the kids to the splash park.  I love this place!!  It is a gated slab of concrete with all of these different things that shoot and spray water.  There is no pool for them to fall into when I am not looking and it is more fun than just a sprinkler in the front [...]

VBS

We had VBS last week at our church (Highland Drive Baptist).  It was a blast!  The boys loved it so much.  The theme was Sonworld and the whole week was like we were at an amusement park.  I worked with the first graders.  What a sweet age!  One of the things that impressed me the [...]

Five Months Old

I cannot believe my baby is five months old!!  Where is the time going?  Didn’t I just bring her home from the hospital the other day?  It sure seems like it.  Yes, Linley is growing so fast.  It seems as though she is doing something new everyday.  She is really starting to get a playful [...]

Linley’s First Baby Doll

My mom brought Linley this Baby Huggems to the hospital.  Layne asked me tonight if he could give her her baby doll.  I really didn’t think that much about her showing any interrest in it yet, but I told Layne that he could give it to her.  She laughed out loud when Layne showed it [...]

In My Pink High Heels

I saw these shoes and thought they were the funniest things I had ever seen!  They are babies first high heels made by a company called “Heelarious”.  Pretty appropriate I thought since the first thing I did was laugh when I put them on Linley. 

Happy Birthday Grandad

After our day in Little Rock we headed south to Monticello for my Grandad’s surprise birthday party.  We had such a good time visiting with everyone.  As kids we couldn’t wait to get down there and play with our cousins and now that we are all grown up and most of us have kids of [...]

ACH Heart Picnic

Saturday was the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Heart Picnic at the Little Rock Zoo.  Every year they invite all of their heart patients and their families back for a day of fun and celebration.  It is always a day of reflection and thankfulness for me as I think about our stay at the hospital when John-Isaac was [...]

My First Cereal

I fixed Linley her first bowl of rice cereal the other night.  You would have thought that she had been eating since day one!  She got the hang of it really quick and then started reaching for the spoon.  If course she made a mess but it was really funny to watch her.
