We had a church congregational meeting talking about what our church will do now that both Jen and Jon have resigned. Is it time to hire a full time Associate Pastor? My opinion is yes, but the church needs to figure all that out! While we were in the meeting, Dixie offered to take Quinny and Ady outside to play... what a friend! She later posted this picture to her Instagram and I stole it because its so cute :)
Family walk/bike ride down by the boardwalk. This is our favorite part of Crofton!
Quinny asked Ady at church all by herself if she wanted to come over and have a tea party together. Day went home and told Mary and then Mary asked me... pretty funny, Quinny arranging her own play dates already. So they came over one morning for tea and tiny cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches. Love love love love these girls!
And tea time turned into princess dress up play time!
Brad and Lisa came over for a Monday night dinner and Lisa loved Dani - how can you not?! The three of them played together most of the evening. So cute
Amanda has walked through so much life with me and is always a steady rock and supportive friend. I appreciate her and her thoughtfulness so much. She remembered when my appointment was and made a point to check in and make sure we knew she was praying and see that we are good. Love her.
Again, I caught him cuddling with Dani! Gotcha Jon... you DO like the cats! ;)
This is her new thing... she reads in bed and when she's done, she stashes the books under her pillow. I think it's so cute! She loves to read, which makes my heart VERY happy! And sleeping as always with those hands under her head. These are moments I don't want to forget. She is so sweet.
Playing at the park by Nannie and Papa's house
Tin Foil Challenge at youth group... this is LeighAnne, one of my new favourites this year. The Lampards actually know LeighAnne's family... small world! She lives in Crofton near us and we drive her home each week... she is such a sweet girl. She has very quickly become very important!
Quinny that night went to Granny Cathy's house (I love that Quinny calls her that). Cathy had a tea party all set up for her and they baked cookies and watched Thomas the Train and played pretend kitchen. I love that Q has places to go where she is so loved and taken care while we serve in youth ministry! She has been asking to go back to Granny Cathy's house ever since!
My gorgeous ballet dancer! She looked at me with my phone pointed at her and she gave me this look... a total "MOM! I'm in ballet class, don't take my picture!" face. But seriously, that little dance outfit with the pompoms are just too cute to not take pictures of. Sorry for embarrassing you Quinny... I will probably do it your whole life, because I think you are amazing
She does so good and I am so proud watching her. I hope she can always do what she loves, whatever that may be!
Kitty cuddles once we got home. Dani is purring so loud and just loving it
I love how Quinny is being silly here and Dani is watching her, just sitting on her lap. These two!
Playing hockey with Daddy in the living room. She pulled out the sticks and begged him to play with her... I love how she wants to play hockey while wearing her ballet outfit. She is a well rounded kid!
"Mama, look! I have a baby in my tummy just like Mary does! I love babies in tummy's!"
"Now I am carrying my baby on my back. Elsa is SO heavy" as she giggles to herself, because this doll weighs less than a pound. Little jokster haha.
You are my favorite little love Quinny. I cannot imagine my life without you and your hilariousness! These days you are asking lots of questions (seriously, the questions NEVER STOP haha!) and are just so curious about the world. Your brains amaze me. You ask us what roads we are turning onto, and you remember their names and you will tell me where to turn and what the name of the road is before we turn. You point out things that I don't see, and you really think about the world. You are very stubborn and know exactly what you want, and you are also sweet and so caring. You rub my hair when I have a headache and you tuck in your babies every night before bed. I see so much of myself in you, and at times so much of your dad. But you are so uniquely yourself at the same time. I love our days together and I really do cherish this time we have had the past few years to build a bond that is strong and will last a lifetime. I often ache for another baby, but I also love the rhythm we have and the way we have such special time together. You are my little buddy, my constant companion and I couldn't imagine it any other way. I love you kid.
I know, so many pictures of Quinny and Dani... I just can't help it. They are so cute together! Here they are watching some Paw Patrol
Thanksgiving was near, so Eggnog was out! I do not like eggnog one bit but Jon LOVES it... he introduced it to Quinny and she also loves it. I'm glad he has an eggnog drinking buddy and will stop bugging me to drink some haha
