Father's Day

"Two Girls"

I started to title this post Happy Father's Day, but you don't see a lot of "happy" in these pictures. Oh, these holidays on Sundays are just not much fun for the preacher's family. Sunday morning just about wipe us out as it is, much less to come home and take pictures. I guess you're getting to see the real us and not just our picture perfect blog life.

Daddy and Avery

Jenae and Daddy

Reading Daddy's new book, "I'd Be Your Princess"

Jenae gave to him.

Look! Glass Slippers

When we went to Disney World at Christmas last year we tried and tried to find a Disney souvenier that Jenae would like. We showed her every set of mouse ears we saw but she could have cared less. We showed her stuffed animals galore...everything from Mickey to Pooh to Ariel. She thought they were nice but never anything she had to have. We were getting a little disappointed. You come expecting your child to beg for everything they see and Jenae would just look at it all and move on. (Maybe she didn't know they were for sale and we could take the stuff with us.) :o) Not a bad tactic!
On our very last night, at Epcot of all places, we went into a gift shop looking for a certain shirt we'd seen earlier in the day. Jenae was exhausted, barely keeping her eyes open as we pushed her along in the stroller. I parked the stroller as I started to look at some shirts only to find out I had parked right by all the Princess stuff. They had each princesses dress, tiara, wand, gloves, wigs--you name it, they had it. And, right at Jenae's eye level were all the shoes. Aurora's shoes, Belle's shoes, Snow White's shoes. All the Princess shoes. I turned around from my t-shirt shopping to find Jenae sitting in the floor underneath all of Cinderella's stuff. She had her shoes and socks off, and was grabbing some of Cinderella's shoes. "Look! Glass slippers!" Finally, we had discovered what Jenae wanted for her Disney souvenier. Glass Slippers.
I've had this post in my mind for a long time. And, I 'd wanted to take some pictures for a long time. (Ahh, such good intentions!) Because, you see, Jenae LOVES her glass slippers. She wears them all the time. When she first got them they were the last thing she took off each night and the first thing she put on in the mornings. In fact, we knew she was up because we could hear the 'clack, clack' of her shoes coming down the hallway. She has worn them with her nightgowns, she wears them to church, she goes to the store. She loves those shoes. The reason for the post is that we are about to outgrow the glass slippers. I don't know what we are going to do. I guess go back to DisneyWorld! :o)
