This morning we went to play with Macy, Paige, Lauryn & Allison and had a blast. Tracy graciously hosted us in her home (again!) and not only made us a wonderful lunch, but also gave Rachel a new wardrobe for the fall with Macy and Paige's hand-me-downs. I would say that I can't wait for the fall to get here so she can wear them, but I'm actually excited about summer so Rachel can wear all the 3-6 month clothes she gave us last time!You would think Ethan would be a little out of his element playing with a bunch of girls, but he actually
just fits right in - even with no cars to push around on make believe roads. He "cooked" me some very good green peas and cake at the kitchen, then he pushed the baby stroller around for a while, moved on to blowing everything dry with the hairdryer, and then played with the piggy bank. Who says boys can't play with girls toys! But the kicker was when we were leaving and I asked him to get some shoes on so we could go. Just a few minutes later he came back looking like this...I mean, I DID say to get some shoes on (sorry, Clay, but it's just too funny not to post).And little Rachel is such a precious baby and so sweet. She's really starting to just go with the flow as far as being out running errands, going to play, going to the park, etc. She prefers to have a long nap in the morning, but she's still pretty happy when she doesn't get it. I think her 2 favorite times of the day right now are during Ethan's nap because I just hold her, and then her bathtime. She is so relaxed in the bath and I really think she would sit in there until she turned into a prune. We're so blessed and so thankful to God for our children. This is especially true this week when we've been praying for the Phillips family who lost their little girl on Wednesday. We don't know them personally, but they go to church with Mark & Amy. Their twins were born Monday at 25 weeks, and they obviously have a long road ahead of them. Please say a prayer for their son, Kanyon, as he grows stronger.
I mean, seriously. Can't you take that boy some trucks to play with? That is a photo that will come back to haunt him during his presidential campaign. Ethan, when I get home we'll wrestle and spit...don't worry.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prayers for the Phillips Family. Jamyie is my cousin and I know they really appreciate all the prayers being lifted on their behalf right now. Thanks for the post. Love those kids and be thankful for their health and strength.

Ethan, I h have encouraging news. Your uncle Bryan was born having to male cousins that he thoroughly enjoyed, but his "best friend" for many of his early years was a girl. Bryan and Kimberly had a solid bond and were happy whether they were playing with his toys or hers...mainly happy just being outside as I remember. So go ahead and have fun hanging out with those girls - it didn't do your uncle any harm!
