We went to Gentry Farms this week with our neighbor Mrs. Katie and her son Wesley. Bradford loves his buddy Wesley!  I have to explain some the pictures I posted here.  
Cow Picture: While on the hayride Bradford asked me "mommy, why do those cows have price tags on their ears? Can we buy one?" (Love it). 
Picture with the sticks: "Look mommy, Im a mouse."
These comments were too cute not to document!

Sorry, I am just now getting around to posting b-day pics.Its been a little crazy around our house to say the least.  So Bradford wanted the same theme (super hero) as last year but then decided on a Captain America theme.  The boy loves his super heros.  This year we made super hero shields  and had a pinata at Granny White Park.  His Opa made him a captain america cake. We put both grandmas to work helping with the shields.  Daddy started his birthday morning off with a little surprise, a weekend in uncle Michael's rubicon.  He was in heaven!! On his actual birthday we always have the downstairs decorated.  I hang all the cards he received from his party. He loves that more than anything.  Then he gets his breakfast with birthday candles (this year he chose a scone) and we sing happy birthday.   That night he gets to choose where to eat.  Are you ready for this one, Boscos. Yes my son chooses a micro brewery for dinner.  What can I say, he loves the pizza there.  At bedtime I read his birthday letter to him.  This includes a few questions I ask him that year like what he wants to be, favorite friend, color, etc.  Then I add a section for what he has accomplished that year and just a personal note with favorite memories.  Yes, I cry my eyes writing it (shocker, I know). It was a great birthday!!!

I am so blessed to be a teacher at Judson Baptist! My husband and I are overwhelmed by the support we've received from my school.  It's such a great feeling to see everyone in the hall wearing our shirts!  My supportive boss, Diane, has loaded up my car so many times in the past two weeks and I can't thank her enough.  Everyone that I work with have very rigorous schedules and balance a full load from work and as mothers at home but they always take the time to ask about our journey and how they can help.  Not only have they been supportive by purchasing our shirts and donating items for our sales, they most importantly they have bound together in faithful prayer.  We know that the road home for our child is not always going to be paved and bump free, however; we also know that our only defense against those unknowns is prayer warriors like the staff at Judson Baptist.
