Breanna Kennedy Smith: Dallas Arboretum

Today we went to the Dallas Arboretum. We had so much fun and it was very beautiful. Today was the start of the Autum Festival and they had a pumpkin patch and hay maze and other fun fall activities. It was a much needed family outting. This has been a rough week for our family. One of Max's football players was killed and three injured. So he has been dealing with a lot at school this week. My grandmother is very ill and her kidneys are failing. She requested to go home and refused treatment on Monday. The hospital sent her home with Hospice that evening. Although this has been hard for my family to deal with, she is much more comfortable at home.

On a lighter note...Bre is changing everyday!
1. She has learned to clap her hands,
2. She is trying to pull up on everything she can (we had to lower the crib because she figured out that she could stand up and reach over the side),
3. She's almost crawling (she can roll and wiggle her way across the floor, but hasn't quite figured out the entire crawling thing yet)
4. She can feed her self (puffs, cherrios, peas & carrots, bread)
5. She say's dada and momma distintively (plus I think I have heard papa and nana)
6. She can catch and roll a ball
7. She sleeps all night (10-12 hours) by herself in her crib

We love seeing her learn and discover new things. Every day is an adventure to her! She loves life and is just so happy. She brightens each and everyday.

Breanna, Mommy and Daddy love you very much. We are so thankful that God brought you into our lives. We are truely blessed to be the parents of such a beautiful, sweet, and loving little girl!

Here are some pictures that we took today at the Arboretum. I highly recommend it to everyone! It is so beautiful...and a great place for families.
