After the fog lifted ...

Saturday morning started out with a thick cover of fog that didn't completely lift in our area until just after noon. But after it did, it went as predicted by weather forecasters: Sunny and warmer.
I was watching Jadyn that morning and wanted to go outside - so did Jadyn.
So after attempting a few errands, we headed by the same park where Jadyn had her 2nd birthday party almost six months ago. When we pulled up, she said "Happy Cake!" She remembered!


I'm pretty sure she posed for this picture, for which I'm glad.We started out walking around on the sidewalk.
Then, we headed over to the children's play set. It took her no time to become familiar with the equipment again.


We weren't there long, but it was a great break from being in the house and she seemed to enjoy herself, which made even more enjoyable for me.
I've been thinking lately about why we do this blog. First of all, so many people prayed for us and and a number of people stood alongside us while we waited for our first child to come into the world and we want them to see her as she grows. Plus, our family is scattered all over the place and this helps them see Jadyn progress. Also, I enjoy learning how to take better pictures by taking photos of Jadyn. And, most importantly, we want everyone to know how much we love her and the Lord to know how grateful we are to have her.

Isn't it amazing when you realize she's her own little person...with a memory, no less!
