fairy in the forest

• Today was our first full day with Ethan and Dareian.  We decided to go to Lynn Canyon to walk across the suspension bridge and explore the forest.  I knew Dareian would like the moss :)
• Lila, you were so cute.  I asked you to get dressed and you came out of your room in a little fairy outfit.  You're so fanciful and imaginative.
• Jane, you had play rehearsal all day, so you couldn't come with us.  I missed you.  I haven't seen you very much lately.
• Lynn Canyon was beautiful.  The water was rushing through.  The sound of it was so lovely.
• Katie, you braved the bridge a couple times even though you hate heights.  Lila, you were freaked out at first, but quickly got used to it and ended up running back and forth several times.  
• Ethan, you got your first taste of been the photography subject of Auntie Missy.  You quickly realized that there's no point in fighting it.  Haha.  You were a good sport.
• Dareian, you and Ethan are staying in the babies room on the bunk beds.  I peaked in there and saw you chillaxin on your phone.  I'm so grateful to have you here in our home.  I'm thankful for the effort you make to spend time with your old auntie.  You're the best.
