Maternity Leave Fun

While on maternity leave, I was able to do a lot of things with John Thomas that I hadn't been able to do while working.  We were able to go on special trips, play dates and just have quality one on one time!  

We had so much fun at the Perot museum.  John Thomas loved the children's area!  
 He really enjoyed the water area and refused to put on the apron, so after dumping water on his head, he was pretty wet!


 We made a craft, although with John Thomas, craft time does not last long!
We toured the dinosaur exhibit and he wanted to "ride" all of them!
We made several trips to the zoo! He loved this bird that bounced like crazy on his line!

 Sweet Ruby was a trooper on every single trip.  She is an angel being carried in her sling, not minding it at all!  She can eat, sleep and watch right from inside!
 We took a cousins zoo trip and Krae caught a ride on the front of our stroller!
 He loves feeding all of the animals!

We have spent several afternoons at the park with beautiful weather, just the three of us!

A reward after school for having a good day, we took a trip to the dollar store and Pet Smart, always a treat! 
We had several play dates with friends, this one ending up much better than it started off! :)

We had lots of floor time playing music, cars, ball and trains!

Made some time to take a quick drive!
 We have been blessed with some goregous days, allowing for lots of time in the swing!  After we made chocolate chip cookies for Daddy!
This little man adores his sister!  I am so glad he has immediately taken on the role of protecting her, even though sometimes the only thing she needs to be protected from is him!


Another adventure has been cooking dinner.  Almost everyday when John Thomas wakes up he "helps" me make dinner. It's one of my favorite times of the day!


I am so grateful for the uninterrupted time I have been given over the past couple of months with my two babies!  God has revealed himself to me in so many ways through the two of them!
