4th of July BBQ’s are always fun, especially now that there are little boys running around causing trouble. I was looking back through some of the photos from last month, and ran across this photo of my sister Kelli’s boy Braxton, “attacking” my other nephew Sam (Stacy’s son) - all in good fun of course. I just got a kick out of their expressions… Sam is obviously not pleased, and Braxton is totally lovin’ it.
Today my sister Tiffany came over, and brought along my adorable nephew Aidrik (and a coffee for me, yay!). I grabbed him from her arms to say hello, and was surprised by how big he is getting. He is going to be a year old on June 22, and I can’t believe how fast time flies by, and how quickly he has grown.
He surfs along anything that helps him steady himself as he learns to walk. He can almost let go and venture out on his own. Grinning the entire way around my couch, he giggles at my dogs and grabs anything nearby to either chew on or play with.
I love the innocence of children. It’s so refreshing. I love how they are fascinated with the world around them. Everything is interesting, even a piece of crumpled paper that makes noise. Babies are fun.
Anyways, here’s to life and being accepted into a family!
