Last week we took Pumpkin for her first trip to Disney. J had his annual meeting and Pumpkin and I tagged along. Bubba had to stay behind due to school ( we get no fall break this year - BOO!) Anyway, the trip was special for the 3 of us. Last year during this same conference, I called J to tell him we had a baby girl waiting on us! J was eating at this restaurant when he got the call. I wanted to take her there to make some pictures so we ate lunch there one day.
We took her to the M@gic Kingdom and let's just say she wasn't impressed. I really thought that she would enjoy the music on the rides and the parade, but I was sadly mistaken.
Her reaction to everything
I really think she was overwhelmed. And this was her response to the parade.
Going
Going
Gone
I've spent a lot of time reflecting on the past year this week. I absolutely can not believe that in 6 days Pumpkin will be 1! One year ago today, I was just about at rock bottom... so weary in waiting on the Lord to send us a child. I never imagined she would be in my arms in a matter of days!
She is walking around very well now and leave nothing untouched. We definitely see a strong-will developing. Everything she touches goes in her mouth. Now that is typical, but this child chews on everything too. I mean everything people. Books, Shoes, Furniture, Door Hinges.. you name it...
One of the very reasons I don't want a dog, and I have a child who gnaws everything.
But I wouldn't trade her for anything!
And the two of them together? Well, be still my heart!
I'm not sure who is more smitten here.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Ephesians 3:20
