A sweet little prayer and a giggle

Lately, Darryl has loved to pray. He will stick out his hands at the table, close his little eyes with a squint, and pray. What's even cuter is that if he notices that others at the table arn't praying with him, he will simply sit and stare at them until they do.
The other night we tucked Darryl in for bed and prayed with him like we always do. After we prayed, he looked up at Chris and I and said..."wait... Darryl pray" and held out his hands. We grabbed him and smiled with delight as he prayed...

"Jesus... Josh...Jenny... Lila.... Mommy...Daddy..."

(Every night when we go to bed we thank God for the people who we saw that day...)

"Sissy...Mamaw...Papa...
...Pattycake...
...Pattycake...
...Roll them up...
...AMEN!"

His prayer included all the hand motions of course. So Chris and I laughed all night about how our son played pattycake with Jesus before he went to bed.

Payton is as sweet as ever! Today we were over at Kim and Darryl's house and Darryl got her to give her first little giggle. It wasn't a full on laugh just yet but she is definately getting there.

I can't wait for her to get old enough to play!! We love our family and feel so blessed every day.

Darryl loves his sissy...

Darryl loves Payton. It is the sweetest thing in the world. Tonight, she was laying on a blanket in the living room when Chris said "Darryl, go lay down by Sissy!" So Darryl walked over, and laid right next to her and started playing piggies with her feet (This little piggie went to the market...). Then he gave her a hug and a kiss before exclaiming "Mommys!" and ran over to the couch and grabbed one of my bracelets. He walked back over, laid by Payton and put the bracelet around her wrist. He laughed and laughed and gave her another big hug.

So sweet!! I never want to forget these sweet moments!!


By the way... Happy Halloween!!!!!
