New Family Photos

It's always an adventure to do family pictures and you never know if you're going to get anything decent. These are my favorite 3 pics. Bridger always struggles to find his smile for the camera. He saves it for when we're not looking (through the camera). But beautiful kids none the less!

This scared me to death!

I had an experience with Bridger on Sunday afternoon. It is something that I never even anticipated and I feel it my duty to warn other parents to protect their children.

We were heading out the door for church. I sent the kids to the car, opened the garage door and stepped back into the kitchen to get the bags. I soon heard Bridger crying. I listened for a moment to decide what kind of a cry it was: I'm dying come now, I fell but I'll be okay, Livy is being mean, you get the idea. Well, it was sort of a I'm freaking out and don't know what to do cry. I decided I should poke my head out the door and see what was going on. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. . . he was hanging from the garage door by his fingertips!!! Just holding on for dear life trying to get my attention. I dropped everyting, sprinted to the door (in heels and a skirt) all the while begging him to NOT LET GO!

I have never held him so tight, then scolded him so severly. Now, every time we walk out to the garage he points at the door and says "No no. Don't touch." I also no longer send them out while the door is opening. It is already opened or I wait until they are buckled in before opening it.

I wish I could have gotten a picture or at least draw something just to bring home the image a little bit better. I hope it's obvious why I didn't get a picture :0).
