Reunitied

Ava Grace and Edy Rose (along with Mr. Graham and Ms. Leslie) are back home for the week. Ms Leslie and the girls have been visiting the grandparents while Mr Graham began his new position in Texas. We were sad to see them go but really happy to see them here for the week.

Last night, Mylea and Ava Grace got to play together while the adults caught up on life. MyMy was so excited to have a play buddy. They played dress-up, vacation Bible school, princess', and ring around the rosey. After eating, the girls enjoyed some ice cream and sprinkles....well, more like just sprinkles.

I am so happy that Mylea gets to play with Ava Grace this week!

Daddy Date

Sorry this blog is behind. I am hoping to get better next week.

Last Friday, daddy and Mylea went on a date. Daddy took Mylea to the "train" park to play and get snow cones. After the park, Daddy took Mylea to get her fingernails painted.

Twist and Shout

Mylea enjoyed telling daddy and Barry how to play Twister.





Sleepy Sleepy Mylea

I think it's way past bedtime!!!!!!

















Beauty and the Beast


Last Wednesday, my mom, dad, brother, myself, and Landen took Leightyn and Mylea to Fayetteville to see "Beauty and the Beast". The girls had never see "Beauty and the Beast" until this past January when we went to Disney. The girls fell in love with Belle and the Beast.









When we arrived at the theater, we learned that we had first row seats. When the girls realized how close Belle and the Beast were going to be, they were scared! Mylea wanted to leave and Leightyn just wasn't sure.









When the show started, the girls were in LOVE! Leightyn just sat in awe through the entire show. She loved the costumes, the singing, and the dancing.











During the songs, Leightyn sang right along with them. She was belting them out! When the song ended, she clapped as loud and fast as she could.












As soon as the show ended, Leightyn and Mylea were ready to watch it again. They both asked if we could come back tomorow.


I am so thankful we took this family outing. Little did we know what was to come in 48 hours. These pictures were taken Wednesday night. It goes to show how quickly your life can change and how quickly your heart can be ripped out.

Library Craft Day














































Checking The Eyes

Tuesday afternoon, Leightyn and I had a "big girl" day. Leightyn had an appointment to get her eyes tested. She was a trooper! We had to wait 30 minuted to go back and the appointment was almost 2 hours.


Leightyn just sat in the chair and looked at every button on the machine. She wanted to know what everything did and how it all worked.
Since Leightyn passed the eye exam, the Dr decided to dilate her eyes to see if there was a difference. Leightyn was scared at first but then soon realized "this is just like Sissy does". She asked the Dr for more drops. She said that she really liked to "see fuzzy things" around the room.



Leightyn was not happy when the Dr said that she didn't need glasses. She wanted to really bad!
