In the clip, presumably filmed by Audrey‘s husband, Jeremy, 32, the TV star walked into their $1.5million Oregon farmhouse to greet their one-year-old son after their week away.
Radley looked shocked to see his parents and hurried into his mother’s arms, who embraced him with hugs and kisses.
Jeremy could be heard in the background gushing over the sweet moment between the pair as he kept the camera rolling.
Audrey, 31, captioned the post: “Reunion with Rad yesterday he was in shock.”
The TLC alum posted an up-close shot of the youngster sitting on the carpet playing with his toy trucks in the following snap.
The little one donned orange Winnie The Pooh-themed pants and a yellow and green hoodie as he smiled for the shot.
The proud mom wrote: “Missed this honey pot of sweetness.”
Audrey shared earlier this month that she was leaving her youngest son with a babysitter at home while she and Jeremy took their older kids to Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
The couple is also parents to a daughter Ember, five, and a son Bode, three.
TOUCH DECISION
Audrey defended her decision in an Instagram post of the foursome at the theme park.
“Yes we left Rad,” she confessed over a photo of her smiling in the bright sunshine.
“We wanted to spend more one-on-one time with the olders and Rad is at a tough age for Disneyland and just traveling in general.”
The mother of three said it was a difficult decision but one she thinks was best.
“Part of me wanted to bring him last minute, but now that we are here I’m glad we didn’t this time,” she concluded.
KEEPING THE FAITH
Audrey’s parenting choices have been criticized in the past, with many fans complaining that she is even taking her kids to Disney in the first place.
On Monday, Audrey responded in an Instagram video to haters questioning her Christian faith after heading to the amusement park.
She captioned her video: “Turns out the happiest place on earth is not so popular these days….”
In the clip, she looked tired of, yet seemingly unsurprised by the judgmental comments.
Audrey gave a slight smirk, appearing unbothered as she played with her long red hair before she cut to screenshots of the comments in the video.
Most negativity came from self-described Christians questioning her faith since going on the trip.
“Disney is a wine company that hates family values and Christianity,” one person commented.
Another added: I suppose next you will be taking your kids to a drag queen story time!
While a third promised: “(I) would not take my kids there ever.”
Despite the remarks, Audrey did find some positive comments to highlight.
“We are a Christian family and we went and had a blast, and I can assure you that God is not mad,” someone noted on Instagram.
Another Instagram user added: “I’m a Christian AND a Disney travel agent!” before adding sarcastically: “Can you even believe it?! The audacity to both love Jesus and help families plan magical memories…”
MORE BACKLASH
Critics further accused Audrey of being “condescending” in a recent social media post about her family trip.
Audrey posted a photo to her Stories of her eldest child Ember meeting the character Rapunzel.
In the photo, Ember was dressed in a yellow princess costume, smiling while standing beside the character.
Audrey captioned the post in part: “Then got to meet her favorite princess that she mostly only knows from books.”
Some followers assumed the star meant she hadn’t allowed her daughter to watch the Disney film.
One sounded off on a popular LPBW thread: “Basically Auj is taking the opportunity to note that they aren’t really huge Disney fans because her kid knows Rapunzel from reading and not from seeing the Disney movie.
“Like, you’re at Disneyland. You don’t go there if you don’t like Disney. Seriously, who spends the money if you really don’t like Disney and don’t allow your kids to watch?”
Another wrote: “Just say she got to meet her favorite princess. Sheesh. It doesn’t matter where she knows her from.”
The trip comes weeks after Jeremy’s twin brother, Zach, and his wife, Tori, 31, took their three young kids to the happiest place on earth.
They are parents to sons Jackson, five, and Josiah, 10 months, and a daughter Lilah, three.
The TV personalities were also scrutinized for the move by fans, to which Tori clapped back, saying she’ll “never forget” the experience.
