God Bless West

We love our family in West very much.

We are so happy that we got to see many of them so recently...

 Wednesday evening we received news that there had been a terrible tragedy. There was an explosion at the fertilizer plant in West. Great Granny & Great Grandpa's house is in the last ring. We are all so blessed and grateful that they were outside when the explosion happened because they, unlike their home, were unharmed. We received news very quickly, from Granny & Pappy, that our entire family was OK. Thank you, God.

There are still many others to pray for. There is still the beautiful town to pray for. Liam and I wanted to do something to show our support for our family and the beautiful town that has always been my second home. So... we made our own sign.

 Liam doesn't really know what has happened so there was a bit of confusion involved...

 ...but he was ready to show his support!

 

(The heart of gold has his hand prints in it.)

We are proudly displaying it in our window.

Flags are at half staff to mourn the loss of many loved ones and heroes. (This is the flag at the entry to our new neighborhood)

We are thinking about our family and the town of West non stop, and keeping them in our prayers.

 

 GOD BLESS WEST!

 

 

 

 

Facing Forward

 

What?? Our little man is big enough to face forward in his car seat?!

Better get to it, Daddy!

Liam has no problem keeping himself occupied in the front seat...

Wait a minute....

Hmmm....

Mission accomplished!

Liam loves facing forward! It's a whole new adventure. Eventually, his DVD player will make it's way back in front of him. For now, the novelty of this new adventure is enough.

I'm loving it too. It feels more like we're in the same "room." Also, I get to use my "Mommy mirror!" (No worries- taken in the drive way, of course!)

 

 

Here's a video of Liam's first car ride facing forward. Liam is talking up a storm now. He does still keep in touch with "Liam speak" too. We, of course, love it....we love what he loves. ; )

The Easter Bunny 2013!!

I was so excited for you to see The Easter Bunny this year, based on your interaction with Santa. We met Miss Jodi, Kaia, and baby Kash at the mall to go see him.

You were in your stroller and when I unbuckled you, you were off in a flash. You ran up to The Easter Bunny and gave him a BIG hug. You were so happy to be sitting with him.

 

 



After sitting with The Easter Bunny for a good amount of time you said "Bye, bye bunny!" You waved at him all the way back to your stroller, happy as could be.



I would say that Kash's first interaction was a huge success!

Kaia was not so easily convinced that sitting in The Easter Bunny's lap was the thing to do...

Besides, there were so many other things to look at!



 

 They did end up with a very cute picture! 

 

 After Liam's sit with The Easter Bunny we walked the mall a bit to let Kaia decide that she was ready to sit with him. When we went back Liam wanted to say "hi" again. I am thrilled that I got this on video! It happened so quickly the first time!
