To add to Stephanie's excellent telling of the story of the ducks at the Museum. Our daughter did indeed get all the ducks in a row. I think in that picture, she was in negotiations with an old lady on what duck she could take and what she would have to give in trade for said duck.
Now to the father who took a duck right out from underneath my girl....he almost got a big ole sock to the jaw and the kid who took the ducks while Brae was expressing her displeasure to the dad, the other kid almost got her head held under the water until the bubbles stopped. ..ok not really but you get the drift. This extreme emotional response is not new. There were some girls being mean to her during her first gymnastics class....it took a lot of will power and repeating "Brandon, they're just kids" over and over not to tell them something mean about their mother not loving them.
I won't be one of those dad's who yells at an up for a bad call but I don't think I'll be able to deal very well with other kids playing dirty or other parents yelling to their kids (in regards to mine) "go ahead honey, she can't hit it!!"
A bit over protective maybe? ....naw.

More Burdine News
I can't believe that July is half-way over! It seems to be going by so quickly. Parker is 6 weeks old today and getting bigger everyday (~10lbs now). He's started to smile occasionally and grabbing at things...though it usually is a total accident if he gets anything in his hands (his favorite thing is Aunt Stacey's jewelry). Maybe he'd grab my jewelery too but I just can't find anything that goes well with my comfy clothes (aka PJs) I'm usually wearing.
July 4th wasn't much of a big deal this year. The highlight was dressing Brae & Parker in matching shirts (gotta love Old Navy). Brae thought it was neat. You can see from the picture that Parker was oblivious to the whole thing. The whole house has been sick for the last few weeks and we were all still under house arrest. Luckily, Parker was sparred the various plagues that hit Casa Burdine. I on the other hand was not and got an ear infection. I now know what Braelyn went through will all her ear infections...all I can say is they aren't fun.
Braelyn has been out and about, thanks to her wonderful dad. He recently took her to the Houston Children's Museum with Kennedy and her dad (Brad) and they played and played. Braelyn is kind of a hoarder though and gathered up all the toy ducks and actually put her "ducks in a row". All was good until a dad grabbed a duck for his kid and then another duck-napping occurred while she was trying to chase down the first duck. I think soon after that, the crew departed the museum and at some pizza. She also saw Rattatouie and same night I saw Harry Potter (yes, I actually escaped the house). Now we trade stories at night. She likes for me to tell her Harry Potter stories, but yet she likes to tell me how they end and the names of the people in them. Like Ginny is not Ginny...she's Jennifer. And the Harry crew didn't fly on Threstals, they flew on Unicorns. O'well, whatever makes her happy. It's those times at night that I cherish the most because it's relaxed and is just us two.
Nothing much in the works with us. Family visiting and just life as normal. I'll try to update w/ new and exciting pictures.
