LIONS, TIGERS, AND BEARS

We decided to take the kids to the Abilene zoo a few weekends ago and had a blast. I was VERY impressed with the zoo. We took Emerson to Fort Worth which Truett was in the NICU and we liked that too. Abilene is small but not crowded and very clean. They have a little train ride too which Emerson LOVED. Here are some pics from our Sunday adventure!!

You Are Smart. You Are Kind.

Dear Emerson,

As I watch you interact with your brother and your friends I am thankful for one very important thing: You are kind. I watch with amazement how compassionate and thoughtful you are to others. I am so grateful God gave you such a loving and gracious heart. I'm not sure you can teach this very important characteristic so I know God put this love in your heart. I look forward to many more moments watching you and the joy that fills my heart.

Love,

Mommy

Fossil Rim

We took Emerson to Glen Rose to visit the animals at Fossil Rim. She LOVED it! It was hard to capture great photos from the car while driving through the wild life but here are some to enjoy! There were tons of animals to see and nice to go at your own pace. We had a blast!
