Home Sweet Home

Connie is home and can not be better. She is going to have to take it easy for while but she will recover faster at home. Thanks to everyone who helped us last week, who prayed and who came to see her and sent flowers. That really means a lot to my family and we can not thank you enough.

This weekend was busy but nice. We had some family time, Grandbob came in for a quick visit on his was way to San Antonio. It was great to see him but would have liked to have more time with him and Gramy if she could have come. We love to see them but sometime wished Memphis was just next door.

RSV season is just around the corner and Steve and I are taking advantage of the fact that we can still go out with Braden. Once Oct. starts our fun days out will come to a halt. It is hard on us but we will make it for Braden we will battle this and move on. Once this season is over in April or May we will be done with RSV and can kinda have normal falls and winters.

Other then that not much more to report Braden is growing like a weed. He has a mouth full of teeth just waiting to pop out, that makes for a fussy Braden. He is so much fun we love to see him learn new things and learn to say new words. That is the best feeling ever.

Have a great week and we will post again soon. Thanks

Birthday boy


Tristan was the last of the daycare boys to turn one. So no more babies they are all big boys!!!

Sam


This is sam, Braden's daycare buddy, at Tristans birthday party. We tried to get him to smile for us, he has the cutest smile, but he was not up for it at the time.

John


This is John, Braden's day care buddy, at Tristan's first birthday party. These boys have all grown so much.

PaPa time


This is Gary, a.k.a. PaPa he takes care of Braden everyday with his wife Shirley. We were at Tristan's first birthday and Braden had to take control of him. He stayed like that for about 20 minutes. That is his favorite place to be.

Cool


Braden loving the cool breeze we got over the weekend. He is so tall you can see in this picture. Love the PJ's?

Daddy time

Bath time is daddy time for Braden . Steve and Braden have the best time and water seems to be everywhere when they are done. Sounds like to much fun for mom to be in there.

The SUN

Braden was at the Carters outlet shop in Allen a few weeks ago with Aunt Clara, Mom & Dad and we got this pictures with the sun just peaking behind him. He does not look real happy with any of us.

Braden & Jonathan


Braden LOVES his cousin Jonathan that he can even call him by his nickname "JoJo", he started to say it one evening and has not stopped.

Braden & Jackson

Braden LOVES his cousin Jackson. Some people in the family think that Braden looks like Jackson when he was a baby.

Best place to be

Braden loves to snuggle up with his Uncle Chris.
