Ballet Folklorico

I could watch Allison dance and perform everyday of my life. She is so brave to dance on stage in front of her friends and peers and strangers. Ballet folklorico is an after school dance group that is run by the teachers at Patrick Henry. Allison was lucky enough this year to have had her name drawn in the lottery of first graders to be able to join this dance group. She practiced every Wednesday after school for months for this performance and she did amazing. She had a lot of fun and of course she was the best one on stage and by far the cutest.

Ashton's Dedication

I could not have asked for a more beautiful day for Ashton's baby dedication. We attended the 10:00 service at Parkcrest with our family and friends to make a promise to God and our son to guide him and teach him how to be a Christian. Ashton stole the hearts of the church family when he grabbed the hand of the pastor's as he was holding the microphone. He has such a gentle spirit and loves to watch his brother and sisters play. He observes the world around him with such innocent eyes. I do not deserve the blessings that God has bestowed upon me, but I will take them, love them, cherish them and savor every moment with them. Thank you God for making me Ashton's mommy.

Crawling

Well this little guy started crawling today. He was very kind and waited until daddy got home from work to witness this special moment. Once he figured it out, he decided to show off and push over his baby gate and crawl up it. Nothing will hold this kid back.

 Watching Paul watch him makes my heart soar with love, happiness and contentment.  After all we went through to get our boy, its the biggest sigh of relief knowing he is here, real, alive and ours.
