Excitement of the Weekend!

Well, it is official - for the first time Bay has chosen to go to a party instead of going to AU with the family =( "Mom I can't miss Ella's party, everyone is going." So she decided she would stay with my parents & told me to call them & make sure they would be home & then since I was calling them to tell them she would spend the night & they could take her to church on Sunday. Thankfully, Moppy & Poppy were going to be in Bham & can take her to the party. So off we will go in the morning with Auntie Kim & the 2 boys to A-Day in Auburn.
Watch out AU here comes the Martin brothers & more importantly - I owe you Mom & Dad.
William did FABULOUS in his school program today!! He knew every word, hand motion & smiled at all the right times.
On a sad note, please pray for WFM5 his best friend os moving in the morning & I am not quite sure he undertands how far away Virginia is. I think it will hit hard when he wants to play with Russell next week & I have to explain it again. We said good-bye to Russell tonight & I was crying b/c this is his first best friend & there aren't many kids out there like Russell.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY COTTON! (Bay's first friend ever)
I will post AU pics when I can, Jocelyn

Christmas Letter 2023

Merry Christmas! How are we here?       How has this year gone by so fast?            How is it almost 2024? I can tell you how . . . because there are 4 kids (in 2 cities), 1 dad (sometimes traveling for work), 1 mom & her minivan, multiple teams, multiple schools & 1 cute puppy. Whew!! Baylor is 20 & LOVING her apartment life in Auburn! She is studying hard & keeps a busy schedule with tailgating, church events & general TALKING with friends. She is doing some babysitting & pre-teaching over her Christmas break & some more TALKING with friends. William will be 18 any day now! He just made the Men's Soccer Varsity squad for his Senior year & so that makes the 3rd team of this year! He will be joining big sister in Auburn come August & I am sure his dorm room will be a little less complicated. He is half-way through his Senior year & doing well in school. He studies, works, plays soccer & then a little more soccer. He & Whitt are tryi

Christmas Letter 2022

  "I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord,  & they shall be my people & I shall be their God. . ." Jeremiah 24:7 Merry Christmas 2022! Wow! What a year ~ I am exhausted & joyful & so excited all at the same time! We have a COLLEGE STUDENT! She did AMAZING! I cried like a baby & still do from time-to-time. Baylor is 19 & is loving life on the plains. She has gotten involved & made new friends. She studies & loves her classes. She loves football & basketball games & amidst all that STILL manages to squeeze in 40,000+ words a day! WFM5 - William, our Cinco is a soccer champ once again! He drives to work, school, soccer & EATS. He has made me so proud managing work, school & soccer & studying for ACT & college visits. Doing all well & having fun! He will be a Senior Fall '23 & we are looking forward to that fun year. Whitty is my runner & jumper! He is on the high school track & field team no

So Many Things . . .

 So many things have happened . . . So many things good things & so many hard things. So many things that we cannot explain & things we saw coming years ago. So many people & so many places. This momma's heart has had to learn to watch them fly & soar. I keep thinking back to what my Daddy said at our wedding " . . . you give your children roots & wings." It is hard to give them roots that run deep & how you instill true values in them. It is also hard to watch them open their wings ready to soar. They are soaring! They are learning SOOO much & watching these adventures is a true gift. I know one day I will look back as this being a great joy of my life. I am experiencing hurt but it is amidst such beauty & growth. My baby girl has started to fly & she is flying strong. As soon as she started off on her journey she hit a few unexpected bumps & she took a minute, re-grouped & then just kept on going. She was strong & brave. S
