Looking into the future...

This photo of Ainsley and Grant was taken about a week or so ago at a soccer game....after Heather took it, I saw it and said "won't that look great in the slideshow at their wedding reception?" This is just a seriously cute photo! Ainsley just adores Grant (who is 1-1/2 years older....) and I always comment on her being his shadow. You just never know! And I for one would love to be able to pick Heather & Tim as her in-laws!!! :)

A Day at the Park
Last week we picked Hayley up at school and didn't tell her we were going to a new park. As you can see by the photos, the girls had a great time. It was REALLY windy so Dan got out his sport kite. He wasn't able to fly it for very long as it was almost TOO windy! We had a great time though - definitely a park we'll return to!

Cool Slideshows!

This bothered me....
I haven't really used this blog for anything other than sharing pictures and funny stuff the kids say. But today I came across a quote in somebody's signature on a forum and it really bothered me. A lot. It frustrates me that those with a more liberal view feel it's completely acceptable to lump a "type" together. And Christians seem to be the most targeted group. As a Christian and conservative, I'm always told that I'm narrow-minded. But to me, the statement below is about as narrow-minded as it gets. Granted, there ARE Christians that fit this statement. But frankly, there are also NON-Christians that fit this statement. And many other "groups". I have so much more I could say about this. But I would love to hear other opinions.

"The greatest single cause of athiesm in the world today is Christians. These are people who acknowledge Christianity with their lips, walk out the door, and deny it by their lifestyle. This is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. "

Hayley: "Ainsley, let's go find a game to play!"
Ainsley: (very excitedly) "Yes! We can play family movie night game! That would be a fun game! How do you play it?"

Maybe this isn't as funny to everyone else but when she does this, it cracks me up! :)
(maybe I should add that "family movie night game" was completely made up by her as she spoke that very sentence!! So now you can all laugh accordingly.)

Love this!

She just keeps getting better and better at this! Ainsley's addiction: writing her name. Constantly. Everywhere, over and over and over. It's so cool to watch and see her get excited every single time. Here is a picture from yesterday, she was so proud of herself: "MOM! You have to come SEE this! I wrote my NAME!" :)
