"They are precious in his sight."

An old post I found in my drafts form last week----Today is a rainy, lazy (okay, ridiculously lazy) day. I have been in bed most of the day reading and just feeling sick. Right now, Brooklyn is napping next to me and I'm just enjoying her sweet warmth, cute breathing, and the silence (haha!). When she is sleeping I can relax and reflect on just how precious and unique she is. She truly is fearfully and wonderfully made. 

Mid-America Science Museum

Took a mini-quick vacation to Hot Springs to visit the museum, water park, and visit Kristen and Jasen. We loved getting away for a few days!!

Home Safe from Honduras

Aaron had a wonderful experience while in Honduras. We are so glad he is home safe and started his senior year as a Radiologist Technologist student!!!!

Zumba and Missing Daddy

 Channel 5 news came to film Brooklyn's Zumba class for the Wednesday "fit" segment. Heather also talked me into talking...sheesh.

 Brooklyn tried to pose and ended up with an awkward wall hug. haha!

 

 I just knew she would take a good nap after Zumba...nope~she ran around all hyper and crazy and tired. I think it was hard for her to wind down without Daddys bedtime routine with her. She finally fell asleep at the table after informing me she was a "starvin' marvin".

The first thing she said when she woke up this morning was "Is Daddy back yet?" then she said the stickers on her chest meant "I love Daddy" Think she misses him a little????

Brave Daddy!

 Oh, Aaron let Brooklyn buzz his head before the Honduras trip...a brave, brave soul.

This is a creepy picture of Belle because of her eyes. She really did look so cute perched on the branch eating her green bean. Its hard to get good pictures of them because they are so fast and their eyes are designed for night so they almost always look this way in pictures. The gliders are almost one year old out of pouch! They are sweet (except Belle when I clip her nails...) and they brighten up our busy morning as they are getting their final exercise in on the wheel before they head to bed for the day. I have been alone a lot this week since Aaron is in Honduras. Mom has been helping me with Brooklyn thankfully! Its a lot less lonely when I wake up and the gliders greet me with their little "hello" hissing noises. I love our little pooperson's even if they are a lot of work.

Fun day with Daddy

Our neighbor Kim gave Brooklyn her first puzzle! Daddy helped her put it together and she was so proud!

We have lots of creatures stop by our house...this guy was an angry snapping turtle!

Aaron is finished with finals and starts his Senior year as a Radiography student in August! We are so proud of your accomplishments babe! The Juniors helped serve at the Senior's pinning this past week. He looked so handsome and brought me and Brooklyn some beautiful flowers and delicious cupcakes afterwards. We went to Cherry Berry afterwards to spend time with him since he would soon be leaving for Honduras. He will be there one week and will be serving at a maximum security prison and mostly working with troubled teens that are headed to prison if they don't turn their lives around. I am excited for him to be back in Honduras. It is life changing. Please pray for his safety and for children's lives to be touched by the whole team from Community Bible Church.

Jax and BK

Miranda invited us to see the gender of her baby via 4D ultrasound!! We were so excited and had fun just spending the afternoon with them. We were shocked to see she is having a baby girl! Jax was a little shy around Brooklyn but he sure wasn't shy about holding her hand. Silly boy! Congratulations Charlie and Miranda!!!
