And I will Dance with Cinderella...


When sweet little Mary Alan asked if she could go jump on the trampoline with "Bubba", I quickly grabbed my new camera I got from my grandparents for my birthday and in no time we were out the door and headed down to have some bouncing fun.

The song that plays in my head as I was standing there photographing this overload of joy and happiness was the song Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman. It was straight up adorable when they were dancing and having the most fun.


One of the things MA has picked up from the good ole movie Bambi is how to roar... she is constantly making roaring sounds and sticking her arm out as if a threat to all the surroundings. She definitely thinks she is much bigger and badder than she actually is. 



We went across the bridge at possibly THE best time because the lighting was amazing. It cracks me up  how she will walk half way down and stop as if she knows i am waiting for that "picture perfect pose"... and she definitely was right.







Already working the bent knee pose. And trust me, she loves every second of it!


MA could NOT keep her hands out of the sand the whole entire time we were on our nature walk.. it is definitely the little kid in her. 


After the sun set it began to get cold so we put on our sweater as to have the "china look" as Dad always refers to it as when she is all bundled up. 



Right as we were walking up to our house, a whole flock of 6 or 7 geese were just hanging out by our dock.. right there.. not moving even when we got as close as 5 feet away. Good thing they didn't chase us as Mom later told us they do.. woopsies!
 Our adventures today were so much fun and even though the memory will linger in our brains, we now have pictures to reminisce on! Thank you Dede and Pop for one of the greatest and extremely useful gift that keeps on giving! 
Mary Alan is such a blessing and each and every day this becomes more evident. Having her has made me see how christ adopted us when we were orphans like we did for Mary Alan. We were all once broken and fatherless and that is when he swooped in adopted us. We are made whole and given a name by the one who created us to be! We stand before him loved to pieces and straight up adored. ADORED. Having sweet MA has given me perspective of this love and adoration. Isn't adoption such a beautiful thing?! Being a big sister is so much fun!
