Tender Heart

I want to write down some of the things that Brayden has said recently before I forget. I am amazed at his vocabulary, his communication skills, and most importantly his tender heart.

- He kissed Callie on her cheek and said, "It's just me, Callie, your big brother, Brayden." It was so sweet and out of nowhere.

-We were walking out the door the other day, and he said, "Wait, Mommy!", and ran back inside. I followed him and heard him whisper to Lillie while he gave her a hug, "Good-Bye Lillie. We be back very soon."

-He makes me laugh. Whenever he asks for something in particular to eat and I tell him that we don't have it he responds with, "That's ok. We get it at HEB."

-I bumped into the table, and I must have made a loud noise. Brayden came running over to me and asked, "You ok, Mommy?" He kept repeating it until I told him that I was ok. Then he said, "I kiss it." He kissed my leg and gave me a hug.

-Ray was on a business trip in Ohio, and before Brayden went to bed one night he said, "When Daddy back from Ohio I give him my Pillow Pet." Sure enough...the minute Ray walked in the door a few days later, he ran in his room and got his Pillow Pet to give to Ray.

He is such a sweet little boy, and I just hope and pray that he always has such a tender and loving heart. I love him so much!

Best Hubby Ever!!!

I seriously have the most thoughtful hubby ever! My 30th birthday is on January 20th. Ray wasn't sure if we would still be here or if we would be in Ohio by then, so he planned a surprise birthday party for me. He started planning the day we found out that we were moving. He and I went to dinner at Las Alamedas, and then we decided to go have a drink at Baker Street Pub. Well, I thought we were deciding at dinner to go to Baker's Street, but it was actually all part of the plan. HA! Afterwards, Ray told me that he tried to "let me think" that I was deciding what we would do next! When we walked in, so many of our sweet friends were there waiting to surprise me. I was totally shocked! It was so sweet! It was such a FUN night...we were dancing machines! I don't have many pictures of the night, so if you were there and have pics, I would love a few more. : ) If I had known about it, I would have brought my camera. : ) I had a blast!
