Lazy Day with Daddy

I have to share with you one of the cutest things ever. I have proof that Teryn has become a big time Daddy's girl. The other night she was fussing and did not want to go to sleep. After I had been in a couple times to turn her mobile back on etc, I told James it was his turn. Once James went in the room she stopped fussing. After several minutes I noticed James had not come back to bed. I could see on the monitor that Teryn was content but I couldn't see James. I went in the room and here is what I found....

(had to turn on the light to get a pic) Just having her Daddy hold her hand made her content enough to rest.

The next day this is how she insisted on taking her nap......

Of course, as always, Xavier was involved too.

Just needed to post a couple of pics to show you how big our girl is getting.

Haunted Trail

One of my favorite events every year is the costume contest at the Science and Discovery Center. My friend Lisa and I have been judges for the contest for MANY years now. We absolutely love the event and getting to see all of the adorable kids.

This year Teryn and James came along for the fun. However, Teryn was NOT going to allow us to dress her in her ladybug costume. She made that VERY clear when we attempted to put it on her. So instead she wore a poodle skirt dress. That seemed to be much more comfortable and suited to her taste.

She missed most of the contest because she needed a nap.

Below is one of the most amazing costumes I have ever seen. It was a transformer that...transformed!

Xavier was not left out of the fun, He got to model one of my goodies from the night.

A Trip of Blessings

In October we took a trip to Mobile to receive an enormous blessing. Our sweet cousins Kristy and Rick arranged a benefit to help with some of Teryn's medical expenses. We were extremely overwhelmed by the love from their friends and church family.

On our first day there we decided to have a picnic lunch in the cemetery where several of our family members rest. There is a beautiful duck pond there that is so peaceful. We found a neat carving on the tree.

Xavier loved being outside and watching the ducks.

Some of he ducks were a little "different" than anything we had seen before.

I must tell you that Teryn snoozed through the entire lunch.

Then we were able to go and visit with Granny Judy (Teryn's great grandmother). It was so nice to see her and see that she is doing better than she was on our last visit. Teryn smiled, talked, and cuddled with Granny. They were both in love.

Teryn let us get in a few cute pictyres before church.

Teryn and Kristy ( the mastermind behind this amazing event.) Thank You Thank You Thank You!

One of the most amazing blessing we were given was a video monitor. Since then Teryn has been sleeping in her own room for the first time now that we can see and here her.

Thank you all again for your time, kindness, love, and prayers. It was truly humbling to see so many people giving of themselves for people they had never met. Truly the "Heart of God."
