Well, the 4th of July is really not until tomorrow, but it is everyday that we have our freedom, and that gives us something to be thankful for EVERYDAY!!! We have freedom to worship the Lord freely in this country and we as a family are thankful for that; we are thankful to all the men and women through the years that have given their lives and served time in the military. For our freedom they have fought; may we be reminded to remember them today!
We are looking forward to tomorrow, we are having a potluck with some friends; it should be a great time. Our friends the Deese's just had their little boy Hunter on June 1, and our other friends the Brigg's are due to have their little boy any day now. So Ayden is going to have some buddies to play with here in a few months!! Exciting times!!
We have had a good month and a half. Ayden has cut his first two teeth; he cut the first and then a week later we saw the second poking through. He has had some really fussy moments but all really due to the pain of teething. We cannot seem to photograph his teeth quite yet but soon enough there will be some pictures up with some teethies :)
Min had his 1st Father's Day on June 21st! It was a nice day, we went to church and had lunch at the William's house. Min had to work at 3pm so we ate a later dinner. He liked it, it was steak and really we are not steak eaters, except on special occasions and well this was a special day for a very special Daddy and husband!! Min is a wonderful father to Ayden and I just cannot wait until Ayden gets older and can verbally tell Min that he is thankful that God choose Min to be his daddy!!
We took Ayden to the Park for the very first time a few days ago and he loved the swing!! He really just likes to be outside and listen to the birds and take in nature. He is learning to pull up and stand on his own and while we were at the park he stood solo for about 5-10 seconds, we are guesstimating :) But it is so exciting that he is getting brave about trying new things. He has began, for about three weeks now, to babble TONS!! Sometimes Min and I look at each other and wonder if he is always going to be chatty. We won't mind at all, I am pretty chatty so Min is used to it :) He began by saying ma-ma, when his teeth hurts him he would make a mmmm sound and then learned to say mama! And just the last week he has said da-da, which is SO fun for Min!! If we ask Ayden to say Hi Dada, he will mimic us, he is really learning and it is just too much fun to be a part of his life!! We are truly blessed!!
We hope you enjoy the picture updates and pray that you and your families have a wonderful Independence Day!! Remember the freedom that comes with knowing Christ; we are a truly blessed people!!
