One of the nice things about living in the DFW area is that every once and a while we get to visit with people who are in the area on business. Ashleigh, my sister-in-law (married to my second brother, Jon), was in the Dallas area last week on business and spent Thursday and Friday nights with us. Jon and Ashleigh are expecting a baby girl in June, shortly after Little Brother is due. As you can see, Becca didn’t want to be left out of the belly pictures. She brought a pillow over (I’m not sure why), so I put it under her shirt.

On Friday we visited the Dallas Museum of Science and Nature. It was actually two different buildings – the Science building and the Nature building. We spent most of our time in the Children’s Museum located in the Science building. Becca loved the different activities: fire station, dress-up area, farm with a cow to milk, and mirrors. She was so amazed with the mirrors that made her “TALL” and her body small but her head “BIG.” It was so cute to watch her get a kick out of her changing shape.

Ashleigh treated us to a few things. She brought clothes for Becca, Little Brother, and me from the Switcheroos sale in Greenville. Becca has new outfits and shoes for summer, Little Brother has lots of n.b. onesies, and I have some maternity clothes, including some pants for church. It was fun to get clothes for Little Brother . . . we now have little boy clothes in our home. Becca collected all of Little Brother’s new clothes, took them into her room, and went to work “making a bed for Little Brother.” Another treat Ashleigh gave us was a trip to Hobby Lobby with a budget for craft supplies! We’re very excited about the new projects we can do. Ashleigh also took us to Chick-Fil-A for lunch; “poor Daddy” Becca said — he had to work.

We had a great, but quick, visit with Ashleigh. We’re glad her firm allowed her the extra day to visit with us. Lord-willing, next time we see Ashleigh we’ll be holding babies instead of just our bellies!

A Picture Story of Becca’s First Finger Painting Experience

All was neat until I turned my back to get some more paper (and I was on the phone). While I was gone Becca decided to paint her arm. After that I figured we might as well have some fun with the rest of the paint!!
