Brady's 2, Colorado and Retreat

Not sure why the previous post didn't post but I wrote it at the end of February. Jude and I went to Vail, Colorado with Grammy and Paw Paw and Katie and Clark. Ryan couldn't go and we missed him dearly. It was Jude's first plane ride and he did much better than I was expecting. I was mentally prepared for the worst but he did well. We played games on the iPad and ate LOTS of snacks. Mostly vanilla Oreos- Gigi and Papa got them for him and he loved them!! We left out of Dallas after going to Brady's second birthday party. I cannot believe he is two!! The party was cars themed and Chelsea did such an awesome job decorating!! Getting Jude and Brady together is so fun. After everyone left I got to spend a little bit more time with Kylee and she just laughed and smiled at me. I loved it!! Jude loves Kylee and would smile at her and try to play with her. 

Anyway, back to Colorado. I got to ski two days while my mom watched Jude. It was so fun getting to spend some time with Katie and Clark. I don't get to see them as much as I would like. We FaceTime chatted with dad every night and Ryan would play basketball to get Jude's attention on the phone. 

Speaking of basketball.. Jude loves it! In Colorado Jude woke up a lot the last couple of nights (we were there Sunday to Friday) so in the middle of the night we would turn on sports center and hope they'd show a basketball play. He watches it! 

March madness is going on right now and I left Jude with Ryan. I love when they hang out as father and son. It makes this mama so happy. I went to the Grace Bible  Church retreat and lead worship with Lisa. It was a blessing to be there surrounded by women of God learning about being faithful in a faithless world. It was in Glen Rose so I left Jude here with Ryan and they had a blast! We now have a basketball court in our living room! But that's okay. It can stay for now :-) 

When I got home today Jude was so so happy. He ran up with a big smile and then would not let go for a long time. I loved it!! He was a crazy child but I think it was just because he was so excited. Then later, for the first time, he put on Ryan's shoes. I thought it was so cute! I got so excited!
