Day 3-St. Louis

Dalayna has her own apartment. Yes, at 5 years old, she has proclaimed she has her own apartment. It is located on the 2nd floor of her Grandma Jo and PaPa Dick's house. Grandpa gave his grandkids quite a gift this time, without knowing how much it would mean to them. He took one of the bedrooms upstairs, put twin beds in them and set it all up for when Colby and Dalayna come to visit.(I guess other guests too!!) Dalayna was so excited and started calling it her apartment. She spent a lot of time playing up there and slept very soundly too. Here she is doing a very good job of pretending to sleep in her "apartment". Colby was appreciative too, just a bit quieter about it!!

Colby's bed in the "apartment".

For whatever grandparent is around, reading books with Dalayna becomes a must. She and Grandma read 9 books with Dalayna helping to read half.

T.G. getting a little R&R.

God always seems to know when I need to see a rainbow....at the times in life when there is uncertainty and trials. I know God forms rainbows, so He will remember His promise never to flood the earth, but I can never help but feel like He sends them for me!! As we prepare to move once again, we have wondered why, even though we have no right. All we need to remember is that God will never fail us. The promises He has made in His Word never change. The rainbow is a sign of those promises for me. It was one of the most beautiful rainbows I have ever seen, and for the first time ever, I saw where it started or ended, whichever you prefer!!

The front end of the table......Everytime we go home, we gather at a local restaurant to be able to visit with family and friends. There's nothing like visiting good friends over a good meal!!

The far end of the table........

Have I ever mentioned that my daughter loves to make people laugh? She is the entertainer in our house. She decided to play a game where Aunt Ina wasn't supposed to laugh at her silly faces. So I was laughing instead!!

Dalayna is always full of energy. Before we left the restaurant she decided she wanted to hang between 2 chairs. She is also very strong!!
