kite days


these pictures are from the other day, when russell surprised daylen with a really cool kite his parents bought daylen for valentines day. (they had already given addi her valentines present earlier.) i haven't seen daylen so happy about anything for years! he was so stoked! he couldn't stop smiling and talking about it. today russell, me, daylen, addi, and dex (our doggie) went out on the golf course again, and this time addi got to fly it. she did really awesome at it too! i forgot to take pictures though. but i'm due for a blog on just daylen anyway.daylen kept saying things like, "houston, we have lift-off," and, "houston, we're coming in for a landing in three-two-one..." he was very proud of his cleverness. (:
look how big that thing is! the tail was my favorite part, because it's shaped like a corkscrew and spins really fast in the wind. it really does look a lot like flames.
daylen running with the kite...
look how high it is!

Oh, Julie, that was so wonderful, it made me cry! And, the song on your playlist, "Momma's Boy," was playing the whole time I read it!!!!!
You are such a wonderful mother. It was so great to get on your blog and see Daylen and Addi again. Deleen has seen them recently, and she says they are wonderful kids.
And you are all so blessed to have Russell in your lives. By the kindness and love he gives to you and your kids, he blesses us all, because we love you so much and ache for you to be happy.
Thanks for the glimpse into your day! Daylen, you are awesome - You really are cute and clever, with your outlook on things.
Love you, Mom/Gma
