Thankful for the Day

Friday night we took our little miss to Family Fun Night at the mall!  Free fun!

Part of the Friday Fun was at the Children's Museum!  Ainsley LOVES this place!

Ainsley spent at least 10 minutes in the train room--she LOVES trains!

Ainsley playing pretend waitress at a play pizza place!

Ainsley was SO hungry after playing, so we got some ice cream.  She is such a big girl now, she gets her very own ice cream! 

We wrapped up the night by watching the ice skaters!

This weekend, I tried to take some good pictures for our Christmas card.  This was a trial run--Ainsley was on the GO!  Here are some outtakes!

Sunday afternoon, we got bundled up and went for a walk at a local state park.  It was a perfect fall day--a little chilly!

Ryan and I wore our Wade Lowery "Thankful for the Day" t-shirts.  Wade was a good friend of Ryan's growing up and he was our minister when we got married 12 years ago.  Wade passed away suddenly last May.  He was the same age as Ryan.  It was a complete shock to all who knew and loved him.  Wade was such an amazing guy.  His last facebook post before he passed away was very simple, but so beautifully described the way he lived his life.  He simply wrote, "Thankful for the Day".  I am thankful to have this small way to remember the life that Wade lived.
