This Week

This week we are thankful for all of our wonderful family and friends. Each of you is allowing my girl to have a such an amazing life full of love and laughter. Here are a few pictures of AC enjoying the last 2 weeks.

Riding the tractor with her papa.

She loves to be outside. Riding this little guy is still a little tricky, but she is getting the hang of it.

We dug out this old dress from a college event. AC was beyond thrilled.

Papa has PUPPIES!! Half Australian Shepperd, half border collie. They are adorable, fat fur balls. She can't get enough! One of her favorite things is for the puppies to go "under her bridge" (between her legs)!
"Come on, babies! Go under my bridge!"

Here they come.

Success (with a helpful push)!

Aunt La and Uncle Bob had a cookout where she got to meet her new cousin, Caroline. AC was surprisingly loving with her. And what a little love bug Caroline is!!

AC disappeared at one point during the cookout. We found her sitting in the laundry room on this stool, eating chips. Later we discovered that she had thrown her sippy cup into the trash can right beside her.

This girl loves fish! She spent quite a bit of time staring into the fish pond.

We went to Aunt Emily and Uncle Bud's house to see some cute kitties.

She LOVED all of Uncle Bud's guitars. Hopefully she didn't do any damage with her aggressive strumming.

There are no words to describe just how happy it makes me to watch my girl bask in the love of you all. I've worked so very hard to make sure that she knows and loves each of you, despite the many, many miles that separate us. So thank you. Thank you for supporting us, loving us, and going the extra mile to spend time with us. You will never know just how much it means to me. AC is better for having each of you in her life. As am I. As is Daddy.

Now, we still have 1 more week. There is much left to do and a few more people to see!
