Cute Videos

Dada was recently out of town 2 weeks back to back...this was the longest the kids had been away from him. So, this video is from the day he came back into town...Dawson was pretty excited about 'Dada Time'

This second video is of Dawson singing one of his favorite songs "Take me out the the ballgame." He is such a cute little singer!

Christmas Train

Granna & Gramps treated all of us to a wonderful Christmas train ride Thanksgiving weekend in Austin. It was Wonderful!!! We were all super excited...it was a 'first' for all of us. It was an hour train ride to Bertram, where they were having a christmas festival, and then an hour train ride back. We had a great time & I think I was more excited than the kiddos!on the train before we lefttotally amazed when we started moving

This has to be one of the sweetest pictures I have ever seen. Andi with Gramps

The kiddos riding ponys at the festival

Heaven

Dawson has a 'Bible for me' book that Aunt Hettie got him last Easter, that tells the Easter story. He really likes it & asks lots of questions everytime we read it. Lately he has been talking about it alot and telling everyone about how Jesus died on the cross. Well, this is the conversation we had the other night:

-After finishing the book:
Me: Dawson, isn't that great that Jesus died for you so that you can go to heaven someday.
-He looks up at me, his face falls apart & his little eyes get all teary...
Dawson: But, I can't go to heaven Mama.
-Putting my arm around him...
Me: Awww Baby...why do you say that?
Dawson: Because I can't fly.

Who knows how long he has been worried about this?!? My sweet boy is just too smart...has to think everything through. After I explained to him that Jesus will help him fly to heaven, I think he was all better. This was officially a 'Mama moment'. You know, the kind of moment where you want to laugh & cry at the same time & try to hang on to your kids for dear life.
