I love this first picture- a big ole Texas sky, cloud-free, blue and beautiful!
It was a gorgeous day last Friday, so we all played outside all afternoon! Addison loved getting to crawl around- the ground was dry after all the snow we had earlier in the week.
"Should I go out there Daddy?"
She got to turn her car seat around and she was excited about that!
The cousins
Since yesterday was her actual birthday, we celebrated with a dinner at Chili's using a gift card, this is Addison throwing a fit. Which she did most of the time we were there. Which made us question our sanity for taking 3 kids out to dinner at 5pm, the witching hour.
Classic Bailey- in a mood
We started packing for our big trip to South Africa. I am packing for us and then for the girls to go stay with my parents. I got a lot done today, but this is Addison saying "Don't leave me for 11 days Mommy!" (She crawled in there herself!)
Rub-a-dub-dub 3 girlies in the tub
Addison had her one year check up today. Her stats are: 30 inches long (75-90%) and she weighed 21 lbs 3 oz. (50-75%).
Marc and I drove down to Beaumont, TX this weekend to speak at a conference on Saturday night and Marc preached Sunday in the service. I got through my speaking part only through the grace and mercy of God! I am so grateful to Him! We met some lovely people (Hi Dee!) and they were so kind to us. I missed the girls who stayed with Marc's brother and sis-in-law but it was a good pre-cursor to our 11 day trip coming up on Friday!
I'll be back later for a list of things you can pray for if you feel led. If you know me, you know I am anxious about this trip for many reasons. Yes I know there is medicine for that. Yes I probably should be on some of it. Ha.
He is your constant source of stability, he abundantly provides safety and great wisdom; He gives all this to those who fear Him. Isaiah 33:6 (NET)
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
For your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Matthew 6:8
Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you, your right hand upholds me. Psalm 63: 7-8
...and my life verse that my mom helped me memorize when I was very young-
For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a SOUND MIND. 2 Tim 1:7

Cute pictures...I will add you to my prayers. I understand very well travel anxiety and also leave your kids anxiety. I'm sure you'll feel less anxious once you're actually there. I always find the days leading up to a trip to be the hardest.
What a great backyard!! I'm sure your girls are loving it. We also celebrated a birthday Monday by going to Chili's. When the waitresses brought the dessert and sang, Ben looked like he couldn't decide if he wanted to hide or run. Enjoy your trip to S. Africa!!!
Hey Charity! As much as I wish we could have seen you last weekend, I'm so glad we didn't end up getting together because y'all might be sick with a stomach bug right now. Eek!
