Day 182: He loves these dinosaurs. LOVES them. But he does NOT want them in his room at night. He puts them out "in case their eyes wake up." (They all move and roar, and have eyes that light up.)

Day 189: "I will cast my cares on You; You're the anchor of my hope, the only One who's in control. I will cast my cares on You; I'll trade the troubles of this world for Your peace inside my soul." -"Cast My Cares" by Finding Favour
Day 190: I snuck up on this one "spinning like a ballerina princess" while she was supposed to be cleaning her room. And I just watched her spin until she saw me. My sweet baby.
Day 191: One year ago today Davis was admitted to the hospital for a scheduled surgery. We had no way of knowing that within 24 hours he'd be fighting for his life. That WE would be fighting for his life. It's been a long, hard year, and he still has a long way to go in healing, but I'm so thankful for my sweet boy! "Scars and struggles on the way, but with joy our hearts can say...Never once did we ever walk alone. Never once did You leave us on our own. You are faithful, God, You are faithful." - "Never Once" by Matt Redmon
Day 192: Dirty Dancing at Bass Hal with this guy. He's the BEST!
Day 193: Nana and Grandpa's farm also has a pumpkin patch. Today they helped my kids carve a "happy jack-o-lantern" in July. While wearing red, white, and blue swimsuits. If you drive by our house, make sure to admire the fall decor...in July.

Day 207: My handsome afternoon date. One year ago he was rushed into yet another emergency surgery, and listed a "critical." What a difference a year makes!
Day 208: Princess Anna woke me up at 6:30 this morning. "I'm so beautiful Mommy!" I hope she always knows how beautiful she is...inside and out!
