Story time!

The Amon Carter Museum here in FW has a wonderful FREE kids story and craft time every Wednesday morning and we LOVE it!  We had the pleasure of taking Aiden with us this week (not exactly what he was wanting to do today) and I’m pretty sure he enjoyed it too, well at least the craft part.  After we were all finished in the Museum we headed outside for a little running around time and I took just a few pictures ;)  Aiden wasn’t really fond of me taking pics, so I didn’t get too many of him, but the girls were pretty into it.  Unfortunately you won’t see Addison in any of the pictures, although I’m sure she was having way more fun with her Nini, we missed her tremendously!

We’re goin’ to the zoo!

We took Aiden to the wonderful FW Zoo yesterday and had a blast!  We didn’t get to nearly all the animals, so we’ll just have to schedule another visit with Aiden in the not to distant future.  But we sure did enjoy the animals we did see, especially the Reptiles…well at least Aiden did :)

Cousin time!

Yesterday afternoon we were graced with the presence of our nephew, Aiden! Greg’s parents brought him over and they even stayed for dinner! It was wonderful to get to spend some time with them and the girls are absolutely eating up their time with Aiden. He gets to spend three nights with us! We had been planning on having him over for a few days this summer, and time was quickly escaping, but now with his mom in the hospital it forced me to get off my rear end and get the time scheduled. He is such a sweetheart! Having a boy in the house is a little different and a bit of an adjustment for all of us, but luckily he is a very calm boy so we’re not too overwhelmed :)

Last night we got out the kiddie pools and ate pizza while watching Star Wars, Episode 1. Luckily Aiden brought two light sabers with him, so the kids have been able to have duals!

I can’t wait for all the memories waiting to be made this week!

Prayer request:

My sister-in-law is due with her second baby on September 3rd and it’s a GIRL…my first niece!!!! They currently have a wonderful son who just turned 6. Anyway, a couple of months ago she was put on bed rest because of incredibly high blood pressure, then a couple of weeks ago she found out she has gestational diabetes, not a fun combination! She has now been hospitalized for the remainder of the pregnancy due to additional complications. Oh, she also has two tumors, the size of the baby (Ashlyn) sharing the uterus with Ashlyn. They have been lovingly been named “baby Tumey”. She had one of these tumors when she was pregnant with her son, so they weren’t totally surprised to discover it again this go around. We are praying Ashlyn is able to stay put as long as possible to finish cooking before the world is graced with her presence!

Celebrating Mimi’s birthday

Last night we went back to our old stomping grounds to celebrate Greg’s Mom’s birthday with her.  I think that drive gets longer every time, and it’s only an hour.  We got over there in time to enjoy snow cones from our favorite snow cone stand by our old house, then headed to the park we used to walk to from our old house, it was just like being back home!  We drove past our old house on the way to one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants for a yummy tex-mex dinner.  It was kinda strange to be back.  I had a lot of great memories there and I miss our friends, but I am more and more grateful every day for the move we made last summer!  The best part of last night was not only getting to spend it with Mimi and David, but also with two of our nephews, Clark and Oliver!  That was a surprise treat, apparently Mimi double-booked herself with grandkids :)  Thank goodness for Facebook so Greg’s sister knew we were with their mom and how to reach her!  Crazy!

So, you know me, I just took a few pictures for us to enjoy…hope you enjoy them too.

This is our precious nephew Clark:

And his adorable little brother, Oliver

(or as Addison says, “Ahver”):

Mimi and all her precious grandbabies that are stateside:

Trinity, Emory, Oliver, Addison, Clark

It’s okay for you to go ahead and admit that I have the most adorable nephews on the planet! 

Also very exciting news on the nephew front, we are having the pleasure of another nephews company for three nights, starting tonight!  Be prepared for a number of posts in regards to Aiden’s visit with us!

I love our nephews!

Hope you had a great time celebrating your birthday, we had a great time with you!  We love you Mimi!!!!!

Log Cabin Village

This week the girls and I had the pleasure of visiting Log Cabin Village with my mom and had a blast!  We learned a lot about how people lived in the 1800’s and even got seeds to plant in the spring.

2 1/2, Seriously?

Addison's half birthday was yesterday! Wow, where has the past 2 1/2 years gone? Just like we do birthdays up big around our house, we like to celebrate the girls on their half birthdays as well. It's a long time between holidays and birthdays for a kid to go without having a special day! This year our celebrations were simply reminding them about it all day long, and by making a special desert for them and the rest of the family to enjoy. Recently Addison has become quite fond of Rice Krispies and Rice Krispie Treats, so I thought that would be something different for her to enjoy this time.

Wow! What a blessing she has been! One of my nicknames for our baby girl is "Ham Sandwich" because she is such a ham! The child has never met a stranger and keeps everyone around her laughing non-stop. We talk about how she is going to be the class clown when she gets older, and she already has the crazy hair to go along with it:) I just can't get enough of this precious girl!

She had a pretty good run

Trinity will be 7 in less than two months and she has NEVER been sick! Well, okay so she's had a few colds, a couple of stomach bugs, Roseola once and a week long fever/yuckies (not flu), but she's never ever had to be put on antibiotics! The only prescriptions she's ever had were for diaper rash! Well a couple of weeks ago she started this thing on her toe, her toe nail tore down deep, then it got infected was pretty disgusting!

So, I broke down and took her to the doctor. Well, technically it was a nurse practitioner (and trust me that difference is HUGE to a 6 year old who is TERRIFIED of needles!) and she had to prescribe her an antibiotic to get rid of the infection. *Sigh* The streak is over, hmph. Well, it was at least fun while it lasted!

And, along the same lines, Trinity actually had perfect attendance at school this year and last year she only missed one day! Wow!

We’re going on a train ride!

Here in the greatness of Funkytown there is a wonderful little train to ride through the parks along the Trinity River.  Mom treated us to a ride on this train today and we had a blast!  I guess, in all my years in FW I’ve never had the pleasure of riding on it…and man have I been missing out!  I had no idea there was so much park land in our wonderful city!  We will definitely be taking advantage of this beauty in the future!  I took just a few pictures :)

Thank you Mom/Gaga/Gommy/Gogy!  What wonderful memories we are making this summer!

Is it just me?

Okay Moms…please tell me it’s not just me!  I have a constant struggle with my girls during quiet time and it’s about to drive me nuts!  First, let me lay out the scenario:  Addison lays down to sleep in her room, she’s exhausted and ready for a nap, so it’s not usually too much of a struggle; the two big girls are given the privilege of spending their quiet time in my room watching their shown on TV.  I HAVE to have that downtime, especially during the summer when we’re all pooped from the heat and they’re all three home with me.  They totally get that it’s a privilege and they respect that, but they don’t act like they do…and it’s maddening!  Every day they get up just to ask if quiet time is over, if they can get up, if time is up yet…UGH!!!!  They know full-well it’s not up because what we agreed upon as the signal for the end of quiet time (whether it’s the time on the clock, timer on the oven, the end of a show, etc).  EVERY time they get up I get extremely frustrated and it’s like the calmness of quiet time is gone, then I have to start my decompression all over again!  Seriously…why do I get so frustrated, why do the girls not obey, why do I so desperately need this quiet time, and why, oh why do I feel the need to hit the pantry every single time they disrupt my quiet time?!?!  Total frustration!!!!!

What a fantastic day!

Yesterday was my birthday and it was a great day!  I guess it was my first birthday since reconnecting with a bunch of my friends on Facebook and man it was AWESOME!!!!  I stopped counting after about 80 sweet wishes, and they kept coming long after that!  I have never felt so loved from so many people on my birthday as I did yesterday!  Not to mention, having the most amazing family and wonderful friends and neighbors who went out of their way to make sure it was a perfect day for me! 

I AM BLESSED AND I AM LOVED!!!!  What a great feeling!

July 4th

This year the 4th of July was a big change for us! Greg has spent every single 4th of July of his life going to or participating in the parade in he neighborhood he grew up in. That's also how I spent the past 13 years of celebrations as well. Since we no longer live there we decided to embrace the traditions of our new neighborhood and what a learning experience it was! We look forward to many more years of our new traditions and spending them with our new friends! I only took a million pictures, so I put them in a slideshow :)

Night #3

Night three (Sunday night) was quite a bit better in our new sleeping locations. Trinity was asleep very quickly! The other two took a little while, but they did finally go to sleep without too much trouble. When I woke up Monday morning Emory was sound asleep in my bed! Not sure when she got there or why she was there, but regardless, she was there! This is not unusual for her though, she has done this for a year and a half or so. My original theory was she is such a snuggle bug and has a snuggle quota she has to meet every day, if this isn't met then she will sneak it in during the night...I'm not buying that anymore. It's just a habit and I try to break the habit, but so far haven't been successful.

It looks like we've started the new arrangements being a routine and we're on our way to a "normal" bed time!

Weddings with children...

Yeah...weddings and children don't really mix well. Or at least MY children don't really mix well, especially when they're completely sleep deprived! They talked during the entire service, asked to sit in the aisle so they could see, begged for gum, threw fits...and anything else annoying you could possibly imagine! It was quite emberassing! Of course they were given a strict talking to afterward and were on MUCH better behavior at church this morning!

They did have a great time at the reception though:

Can you tell she was a bit sleepy?

And then she gets cake and is all smiles!

Two-year-olds and cake...always an entertaining combination!

Let's Dance!!!!!!

Addison and her Gommy

Trinity and Emory decided to dance too, but they did Ring Around the Rosy :)

And then London Bridges.

Thank you Anne and Dan! Beautiful wedding and wonderful friends to celebrate with! We wish you the best on your life together!

Night #2

Well, last night was a little bit better with our new room arrangements. The two little girls had great naps yesterday that didn't end until a little after 5, so when I tried to put them to bed at 8...it just didn't happen! They fussed, cried, talked, played, fussed, cried, talked, played...and got up a couple of times too. Once they passed out from boredom they stayed in their own beds all night long!

Trinity was quite nervous to sleep alone and got up a few times to complain about noises she was hearing (our neighbors were outside) so I turned on her MP3 player and convinced the dog to lay down in there with her. She was exhausted after a full day, so she did fall asleep pretty quickly once the noise was controlled and she had a "guard".

They say it takes three days to form or break a habit, so hopefully tonight will be a little more calm, then tomorrow night will be routine! I'll keep you posted!

He made it home!

Greg officially survived his first encounter with Annual Training with the Texas State Guard. He's worn out, but not exhausted and he seems to have had a great time! He's got some funny stories to share and enjoyed doing just that right up until he passed out :) I'm sure he will be good to go with normal life after his nap! We are so glad to have him home!

Breakthrough!

Potty training. I don't know about you, but that's one word I can't stand! Or, maybe it's not the word I don't care for but the whole process that just wears me out! With Trinity we tried and tried to get her potty trained starting at about 18 months. We were all three stressed, none of us enjoyed it, we ran out of ways to make it fun and exciting, and she is WAY smarter than the two of us combined, so she outsmarted every thing we came up with! We finally just gave up on it all together and decided it could wait and wasn't worth all that stress. Then about a week before school started and she was to be in the big 3's class, I found out she was supposed to be potty trained in order to start...UGH! I shared this frustrating bit of information with her, she wouldn't be able to go back to school and play with her friends or see her favorite teacher unless she was in big girl panties and was going peepee and poopoo in the potty. Well, that's all it took! Ten minutes later she was done with diapers and never looked back! Seriously?...that's all it took?!?!

Then along came Emory's turn. This time I knew it would be different! The girls had such different personalities, this was gonna be a breeze! Well at 18 months we jumped in with both feet and put her in big girl panties for all day. I just knew that after one or two days of this she would be done! Yeah right...that was wishful thinking! We struggled for a few days, then I decided to wait a little while. A few months later we tried again, no further success than the last attempt. UGH! Finally, one day right after she turned three she just decided to do it. She put away her diapers and never looked back!

Now, it's Addison's turn. I have learned my lesson, no stressin about this, they'll do it on their own, when they're ready! After all, they're not going to go to Kindergarten in diapers, are they?!?! She started expressing interest in it a few months ago and would take herself in to sit on the potty multiple times a day, but never ever had any success. We (mostly Addison, but I was a willing and supportive participant) decided we would try a day in big girl panties. Within the first two hours she'd had three accidents and was DONE! And by done I mean she demanded a diaper and wanted nothing to do with all that mess!

Well, today she had stayed dry from about 9:30am till about 5pm (yes, I know that means she hasn't had enough to drink), but I told her if she would sit on the potty and go peepee then she could put on Elmo panties when we got home. Now, keep in mind, she has NEVER, EVER had any success on the potty! Well, the Elmo panties thing was all it took. She took her lollipop in and sat down and within a minute she was going! There was a huge party, we all celebrated, and as soon as we got home she grabbed her panties! Woo hoo!!!! This of course does not mean we are any where near potty independent...but it is a breakthrough of massive proportions and I'LL TAKE IT!

Our first night...

Well, the first night in the new rooms didn't exactly go well. About an hour and a half after I put them to "bed" (which was actually a slumber party in Trinity's room) they were still playing and talking, so I had to go be Mean Mommy and put them all in their own beds. About twenty minutes later I still heard voices coming from Emory and Addison's room. When I went in to shush them I found Addison climbing the slide to climb in Emory's bed. Not good! Until last night she completely fell for the rule of: Once you're in bed and it's lights out, you don't get up till Mommy or Daddy comes to get you. Oh well, so much for that! I fussed at them, read them the riot act and within three minutes they were both completely passed out!

Trinity was a little aprehensive about sleeping in her own room, alone, for the first time in almost three years. She put her night light on the floor next to her and snuggled down tight into her sleeping bag (I haven't bought her a new mattress yet...hopefully we'll get to that today). She finally passed out about the same time the other two did.

With Greg being gone, I don't really sleep well either. I finally drifted off a little before midnight (which is REALLY late for me...10 is late for me!) only to be awakened by Trinity at 12:30 because she couldn't sleep. I walked her back to bed, then tossed and turned to go back to sleep.

Then, about 2:15 Emory climbs in my bed (this happens several nights a week) and instead of carrying her back to her bed I just moved over and let her finish the night with me. She slept sideways the whole time! I finally just got up at 6, only to be followed at 6:30 by Emory and 7 by the other two.

Yeah, it's gonna be a long day with fussy children! Luckily we have a wedding this morning which we are all four attending, Trinity has a birthday party to enjoy this afternoon and we have errands to run after! Oh yeah...this is gonna be FUN!!!! Pray for me!

On to the next chapter

Today was bittersweet for me. I officially closed a chapter of my life, but the next one will be exciting too.

It actually started yesterday about 3pm when I dropped the girls off with my mom. See, Trinity's been asking for her own space for a while now. She's been sharing a room with Emory since Addison was born, and it just really doesn't work well for her. She has been good about it most of the time, but she is the type of person who just needs some alone time regularly. She likes her space. Over the past few weeks we've been talking to the girls about making the change of Trinity moving into Addison's room and moving Addison in with Emory. They've all accepted that and have made suggestions on how they would like things to be. Trinity picked out her paint color and a basic theme, etc.

I've found it is so much easier to tackle projects like this solo. I know it sounds kinda crazy, but then I can work at my own pace, take breaks when I want to, get my quiet time in (wonder where Trinity gets it from), and not worry about anyone else's opinion...I've got the picture in my mind and I'll just work from that. So, with Greg out of town and the girls with my parents, I decided this would be the perfect time!

Yesterday I came home, moved all Addison's furniture to the center of the room and started painting. Now...I can't turn back!

This whole project was a much larger undertaking that I had realized it would be! My girls have a ton of STUFF (and that's putting it nicely)!!!! I stayed up till about 1am, then got up early this morning and was back at it by 7. I got all the furniture moved around, painting done, walls decorated, clothes switched and more organized, Emory's stuff moved to the top bunk, shelves hung, hooks hung, etc, etc, etc, all by 5 this evening! Wow! I got rid of a dumpster full of trash, a box of books and I took out two bags of clothes that don't fit the girls anymore...that's a lot of extra stuff!

I still have several things to do (including buy a mattress for Trinity to sleep on), but all three girls were thrilled with the results when they got home this evening!

Trinity's room:

Emory and Addison's room:

So after I get all this finished and I'm finally sitting down I realize this is the first time in 7 years I haven't had a crib/toddler bed or a changing table in my house. I also realized this means Trinity is growing into a Tweenager. I'm not sure how I feel about any of these changes, but I do know I don't have control over them, so I might as well embrace them, enjoy them and make the best of them! My girls are growing up, that's just the way it works. No more babies, but that also means no more babies! Bittersweet!

It is time to move on and enjoy the adventures of this chapter we have opened today :)

Oh, and just so you know, the girls had NO idea I was working on their rooms while they were gone, it was a total surprise for them when they returned! They LOVED everything! Trinity said, "Oh Mom! It's absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much! It's just like I wanted it!!!" That's all a Mommy needs to know all the hard work was worth it!

I put them to bed at about 8:30, they finally fell asleep about 10:15...they were excited!

Annual Training

Greg left yesterday for his first Annual Training weekend with the Texas State Guard. He was really excited to really get into deep training. He is gone for four days. Four days of HORRIFIC Texas heat and all kinds of interesting training. When I talked to him yesterday evening they had just ended all their meetings and it was about 10:30. He was put on "Fire Watch" from 2-4am and was to get up at 5:30 for the day.

I'm sure you're curious what "fire watch" is, I know I was! Apparently they don't have smoke detectors in the barracks, so they rotate on two man shifts to watch for fires. If you ask me, I think it's just a way to make them get up in the middle of the night and do something :) But, they only have to do it once all weekend, so he's glad to have it out of the way.

Tomorrow they are being visited by the Officer over all of The TXSG, who report to the Governor, so after their 14 hour day of training (with two very sick from heat exhaustion) they have to prepare their barracks for inspection.

Yeah, he's gonna be exhausted when he gets home on Sunday! But he's really enjoying it, and that's what's important!

He looks good, doesn't he?

Girls...where are you?!?!?!

The other night Greg and I were going about our evening routine...he was watching TV while I was getting things ready for the next day. The girls had been in bed and quiet for about an hour, so they were fast asleep. We heard a door close, not an outside door so we didn't panic, but we were curious. After a few minutes of continuing on with our routine (I guess we weren't all that curious), Greg got up to see what door was closed and how one of our pets managed to do it.

First he stuck his head in Trinity/Emory's room, only to find no one there. We know they had to be asleep, they were too quiet to be playing! So, he started looking around the house for them. They weren't in Addison's room...not in our room...not in our bathroom...not in their bedroom...we knew they hadn't ventured into the common areas, so where could they be?!?!

Okay, a little panic starts to set in about now. Are we sure that was not an outside door we heard? Surely it couldn't have been, we were right there with the doors. But, where are Trinity and Emory?

So we go on the search again, still no sign of them and no noises from them! This is starting to get serious! At what point do you call the police?

...Wait...what was that? Did I hear a whisper? There it is again...

Oh my gosh! We found them...laying on the floor of their closet! Well, not really laying because their closet isn't that big, but they were both in there, along with all their "snugglies"!

Their story was something like this:
Emory couldn't sleep because she didn't like the dark (they keep the closet light on and Emory wants the door open, Trinity wants it closed, so they compromise. Then I go in and push it all the way up when I go to bed...but shhhh, don't tell them that!) so she decided she would just sleep on the floor of the closet. Trinity felt bad, so she decided to climb in there and keep her company and they could have a slumber party in the closet. Lovely!

Once our adrenaline slowed down and we knew all was well, they were tucked back in and fell right to sleep!

Outdoors with Addison

Addison has been slightly under the weather this week, so I kept her home while Greg took the big girls to their final choir practice/party of the year. She was really wanting to play in the water in the kitchen sink so we decided to get out our old sand and water table for her to play in outback. She had a BLAST!

Emory's new friends

Emory has an insane fascination with Rollie Pollies! She spends every spare second she can find searching for and playing with them! I've taken a few pictures of her in our backyard over the past few days...

That white pocket on it's belly is babies! We've done quite a bit of research on them in hopes we don't kill every single one of them we find:)

You can't see it, but she is focused very intensely on a baby she has in her hand.

This was our find in about 10 minutes, then we had to pick Trinity up from school.

Today it really begins

The girls and I sent Greg on his way to his first day of training for the TXSG this morning. It was awfully difficult to get up that early on a Saturday, but I am sure grateful he doesn't have to spend the night away, so I'll take the early mornings! Luckily we have super busy day ahead of us, so we won't be able to stop and think about what he's up to.

He was really excited and just a little bit nervous when he left. I think the nerves were just the unknown of the day, but the excitement was everything! I cant' wait to hear all about it when he gets home this evening!

Here are a few pics I took of him when we got his uniform home:

Surreal

Today we went as a family to the Army/Navy store to buy Greg's uniform for him for the TXSG. Being in there brought back a lot of memories of being a care-free kid trying to look cool for the party/dance/musical coming up where the theme was something having to do with Camo. The girls LOVED the place! The begged for pink or purple camo shirts, hats and canteens! It was like they were in a toy store! Once I let it sink in that we were there, not to play, but to purchase a uniform for my wonderful husband to wear while he works (volunteers) to defend and protect our wonderful State of Texas...it was a bit surreal!



He walked out of the dressing room in his fatigues and thank goodness we had three exhausted and (by this point) bored little girls or I'm not sure how I would have reacted.

So, it's now a day later and I realized I forgot to post this, so I'll update it:)
I picked up Greg's uniform today, with the assistance of my two littlest girls, two baby dolls, one baby blanket and one Mister Frog. Greg was soooo excited to actually have it in his posession! He tried it on, not long after getting home from work...all I can say is wow! Thankfully this time, we not only had our children, but also two visitors from across the street playing so I was a little distracted from emotion. He looked amazing, it fit him just right, like he was supposed to be wearing it all along! Of course it probably doesn't hurt that we all but shave his head these days (yes, I said "we", he has me give him hair cuts these days), but from head to toe it just looked "right". He was so handsome! Now we just have to wait for the patches and it will be complete!

I'll post pics as soon as I get them off my camera.

Nervous

I am a little bit nervous about being without my hubby for any time at all, much less the possibility of several weeks! I haven't spent one night in our new house without him and I'm not looking forward to the first, but I know I will adjust quickly. Between the girls and the animals I will most definitely not be lonely!



I am a bit nervous about being without him during times that might also be times of need for our own family. We discussed the idea of our own neighborhood being an emergency area and him being called to serve somewhere else. Fortunately we are blessed enough to have my family just a few miles away. They are always, always, always there when we need them and I know they would be more than happy to help fill any needs he leaves behind! Most people aren't as lucky as we are to have a huge family/friends close by to lend a hand. We felt because of the amazing people we have been blessed with, the girls and I would be okay without him in such a situation.



One more, of many things, that makes me a bit nervous is his safety. It will be extremely rare for his life to be put at risk, but any risk at all makes me nervous. I don't know what I would do if something happened to Greg! That's all I can say about it right now, I can't stand that thought!!! However, I do know that whatever cards we are dealt we will be able to handle as long as we have God on our side :)

Pride!

I am soooo proud to have a husband with a desire to help other people! Through the TXSG he will be given the opportunity to help people when they have no where else to turn, when they are probably the most desperate they've ever been! I know everyone he helps will adore him and his wonderful sense of humor. He will surely bring a smile to many, many faces during his times of duty!



I am proud of him for putting his own time and desires aside to give time and attention to something bigger than him and our family!



I am proud of him for wanting to serve our country and the great state of Texas!



I am proud of him for too many more reasons to list...

then it's on to Pappy and Gommy's

After church and the great butterfly release we headed to my parents house for a wonderful meal and more egg hunting! Man, how in the world did the Easter Bunny make it to so many houses in so little time?!?!

This is how Addison spent dinner time. Thanks Yo Gabba Gabba for teaching us "COOL TRICKS"

Trinity tried to trick her Pappy, but I'm pretty sure he ended up getting her, just like always!

Addison and her Nini sharing some sugars :)

Emory was all too proud to show me the egg she found with Ariel on it!

Is that not the look of pure joy on Addison's face?!?! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!

The great butterfly release

Our church, like many others, had a butterfly release on Easter day. The girls have loved watching the caterpillars go through their life cycle and turn into butterflies and couldn't wait to see the big finale on Easter!

We found one that had escaped from it's habitat early that morning. Trinity got to play with it till it was ready to fly.

Addison LOVED holding them, as long as thy didn't move! The second one would move she would throw it :) Precious!

Emory, who lives to fine rollie pollies, was a little more timid about the butterflies for some reason.

Trinity couldn't get enough of them!

Happy Easter everyone!

Easter with the Hinckleys

We had a blast dying our eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide! All the girls got to wear our matching aprons from Valentine's Day!

Unfortunately the weather was not so great, so we settled for allowing the bunny to hide eggs inside this year. We still had a enjoyed the loot!

Trinity LOVED the duckling figurine Mommy and Daddy gave her :)

All dressed up and ready for church...along with the rain :(

Those are my goofballs! Wouldn't trade them for the world!!!!!!!!!!
