enjoying life....

here's the thing about the south...
only in the south can you be outside playing in 73 degree weather on a late january afternoon when the week before you were bundled up like an eskimo because the high was only 33 degrees....

crazy as this weather is.....we took total advantage of it....after work i picked up the kids and headed straight for the park and we didn't leave until it was dark!! it was great.....beautiful weather, wonderful playtime...

it was also a great day for some pictures....the lighting was great....i hope the blog does these justice.....i am starting to really get a handle on my new camera....




when we got to the park we ran into our neighbor cameron and his dad mike.....audrey and cameron became fast friends from the day we moved in....they really enjoy playing together....grant loves having another big kid around too....

but probably the MOST amazing part of our ENTIRE trip to the park was this below....

yup ~ Audrey pet, loved on, walked and held a dog!!!!!

yeah!!! we were so excited and so very proud of her :) she did this all on her own too....no prodding from us....it was amazing....we are glad she has made this step....for those of you who don't know or haven't heard the shrills & screams when she sees dogs/cats....audrey is terribly scared of animals/pets....we don't really know why....there has never been a traumatic experience or anything and the zoo is one of her favorite places to visit....Hand-In-Paw therapy has been coming to her school once/twice a month with the therapy dogs and i really think this has helped her tremendously...

congrats again baby girl!!!

good job, good job :)
