Welcome Home Daddy!!!

Joey has been out of town for the past 6 days. He just got home this morning. This was the first time that the kids and I have been by ourselves while he has been gone. The past few times he has been gone, we have gone to Kansas and once, my wonderful friend Dara came and stayed with us. We managed to make it through his absence. We decided to make Daddy a welcome home sign since we were so excited to have him home. Here are a few pictures of the kids in their painting smocks (old t shirts of mine) and the finished product. Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of the kids actually using the fingerpaints. I did not want a mess all over the apartment.

Welcome Home Daddy!!! We love you and missed you so much!!!

Fish and Turtles

Connor loves fish and turtles. He is always asking "where fish go?" or "where turtle go?" When he goes down for a nap or to bed, we have to pray for fish and turtles, aside from family. In my last post, I mentioned that my mom and I took the kids to Cabela's while we were in Kansas to see the fish they have there. Connor loved it. Some of Joey's co-workers told him about the Witt J. Stephens Nature Center just down the street from his office. Since we did not have to house hunt, we decided to take the kids and check it out. Connor loved it. Bailey was in the stroller.

After we finished at the nature center, we took a walk down by the river. Bailey even got out and walked.

We had a wonderful family outing. Praying everyone is doing well. God bless!!
