Willow happily holding onto some Jonas adoption paperwork we got in the mail. Every single thing gets us closer to you, baby boy!
What's better than buying toys? Going to toy stores to play and then leaving everything there for next time!
We've had so much rain, which makes this fabulous muddy puddle to play in!
Our park closed for a while...
First time she saw brother added to my locket! "Awwww!"
She didn't want paint on her face, so this was perfect!
Let's top off a wonderful day with some ice cream...
Nothing makes her happier than playing in the sink...
Costume day at Kindermusik! Look at that cool purple dragon!
Halloween was so fun this year! She loves trick or treating, and this year she didn't get overwhelmed and have bad sleep afterwards. Plus we got to see both of our families!
(Side note, since it is December now - Christmas activities have been great, too! She loves it ALL this year, and we have been having so much fun.)
That time Willow pointed to sun dried tomatoes and asked for bacon...
Charlie's bday party and Lana's house for an Aggie game!
Making memories with lots of laughter involved... Cabin time with the James'!
She learned she loves hiking! It's one of my favorite memories from childhood, too.
Willow's favorite tree that we named 'the deer tree'...
At Willow's cardiology appointment, Dr. Lemler said that Dr. Forbes had had a rough night on the floor. He said Forbes adores Willow and it would make his day to see her really quickly on his way home. So of course we waited a few minutes to see the man that rearranged our daughter's heart and extended her life! What an incredible surgeon and an honor to visit with him again.
3AM surprise tornado warning...
Hearts full of gratitude this Thanksgiving...
Flipping through this catalogue, I said to Willow, "Mama would like to wear this dress." Willow responded with, "That's not yours style, Mama." Hahahaha...
Thanksgiving at Aunt Kathy's always includes a walk...
Vernon for Thanksgiving!
Sock mittens are always a hit with this one...
Such fun in here with big Elmo. Her imaginative play has taken off!
We love our local library!
Next post promises to include December Christmas memories.
