Bongo's

We are at Downtown Disney while Jamie Lyn is napping in stroller. Jessie was excited to try all new Cuban foods with me. She has already surprised me with ordering and liking mango juice for her drink. They don't know yet but I just got surprise reservations for Bibbity Bobbity Boutique tomorrow before flying home. They can be the princesses of the airlines.

Disney trip

Cedars of Lebanon restaurant lived up to the expectations that were voiced by Gaga. Aunt KK taught me how to play hangman while awaiting our shish kabobs. Jamie Lyn imitated the belly dancer that came around. She thought she was the Lebanese princess Mulan! Love you sweet girls!

Disney trip

What a great airplane buddy! She enjoyed sitting in my lap for the last half of the flight. We enjoyed some sweet snuggle time. I'm gonna soak this up as my lap won't tolerate this with a few more pounds on board.

I think we were on the Ferris Wheel

...at the Cool Springs Mall

Well, no cavities and now no front tooth! The dentist put numbing medicine on her gums. Upon wiping off the medicine the tooth came out. Ooppps!

I discovered this on the first grade wall outside of Jessie's class. It was the prettiest and most vivid drawn picture plus the story to match!
Mommy loves you sweet baby girl!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our sweet 6 year-old Jessie. She has a heart of gold. She constantly wants to share with her baby sister. This morning, she opened a birthday gift. One of the first things out of her mouth was, "I want to share it with Jamie Lyn," who wasn't even up yet. How sweet she is!

I type this as Jessie and I are waiting in the car while Holly and Jamie are inside to see a doctor. We think she may have an ear infection. No fun going to doctor with your kids, but less fun on vacation.

The girls are painting cats at Third Coast Clay. Behaving better than in church. Hmmmmm...

Sweet note

This is a note to Jessie's Kindergarten teacher. Translation: "Ms. Stephens, I forgot to get 5 takehome books. I got 6. That was an accident. Really I am sorry. Please forgive Jessie. Love, Ms. Jessie"

She wrote this without us asking!

Daddy's singing

Precious moments in the car this morning: Jamie asked me to sing "Jesus Loves the Little Children". So I sang it through one time and stopped. She asked me to sing it again. When I started singing the verse "Jesus Died for All the Children", she started laughing hysterically. I asked her what was wrong. She said, "Daddy, you sang Jesus diaper on the children!"
