Happy Anniversary!

Today is our Anniversary.  We have been married 4 years now.  We are so blessed.  God uses trials for a good purpose.  Brian and I are, without a doubt, closer and our love is deeper as a result of walking this journey together, hurting together, hoping together, and seeking help and comfort from the Lord together. Praise God.  I couldn't imagine going through all of this with anyone else.  

Aubrey is officially into everything now!  She has proven to me this morning that I need to do a good job of baby-proofing the house with a new perspective on what all she can find.  As I was attempting to pack for our trip to Houston, I found 3 wads of paper in Aubrey's mouth, then a penny (about to go in,) and, worst of all, she was chewing on a safety pin!  AAAAH!  She is now able to go from a crawling position to a sitting position and to stand up in her crib.  She crawls now, but still prefers the army crawl when she is in a hurry.  She has 4 teeth (two on the bottom and two on the top) and I can see the next two top teeth ready to pop through.  She loves to eat, especially when she gets to feed herself.  She seems to like pretty much everything I give her.  She had a blast with her grandparents last week.  And I am sure she will be glad to be back with them tomorrow as we go down for her check up at Texas Children's Hospital.  Monday she has her echo and Tuesday she has her appointment with the doctor early in the morning.  Brian's high school reunion happens to be this same weekend, so that will be fun.

This picture is from Memorial weekend when we took Aubrey on her first backpacking trip.  She did great, but her mommy got cold and took her home VERY early in the morning!
