The Bluebonnet Festival
This post is dedicated entirely to Matt's parents who were unable to meet us this year for our annual trip to the Bluebonnet Festival in Chappell Hill. They were greatly missed!
It's possible that E was getting tired of taking pictures because to entertain herself she started trying to lick Matt's neck. :)
Pure JOY!
Quick story about E: Although we didn't leave the house in a terrible rush, we still didn't take the time to clean E's room. Normally, we do before we head out in the morning to school, errands, a friend's house, etc. This makes it tons easier when we come home to get ready for naptime. Anywho, we didn't today by choice so that we could get to the Festival. When we got home, Matt and I were both doing various jobs: unloading the car, taking care of Abigail, directing E to get ready for naptime. E disappeared for a brief bit, and when we made our way back towards her room, we found her beaming. "I cleaned my room," she announced. As per her normal routine but without being prompted or asked, Elizabeth Morton had cleaned her room all by herself (and thoroughly, may I add). We were floored and amazed. We, of course, poured out praise and thanks to this little girl whom we have been training to be a blessing to others but who today blessed us instead.

Okay- new favorite pics!!!!! LOVE that fro on your daughter's head! She must be Mexican...
I am very impressed with the room cleaning...
Seriously, love the top header pic!
I love the new pics and the fact that the entire post is dedicated to us! I especially like the one of you smiling with the two girls and the one just below with E hanging onto Matt and him holding Abigail. And please tell Elizabeth that Siti is very proud of her for cleaning her room without even being told to do so. What a good girl she is! Great new header pic, too!
Hey Shannon, What a sweet story to hear about how you are being blessed by your daughter. You look great in those pics. I was just telling Caleb that I don't have any pictures of me with audrey and only a handful of pics, over three years, with me and the other two kids. Blessings! tyne
Cleaned up all by herself? Way to go E! If your mom and dad can figure out what they are feeding you that makes you clean your room, they could market it and make lots of money.
Oh, Shannon, I continue to be wowed at the amazing job of parenting you and Matt are doing. There are so many snapshots in my head from the little time we have gotten to spend with y'all in this parenting phase. This one is joining the others! What a blessing on her life that Lizzie :) gets to grow up in your family!
