A Mother of Boys

I just had a magical moment with Baby Whitty & thought, "I have to write this down so I will remember it forever." AND THEN . . .he was a boy . . .
Here is how the story goes:
Every night I rock Whitty for a few minutes & sing him songs before bed. We sing "Amazing Grace" every night & usually throw in some Zaccheus & Twinkle Twinkle. Anyway tonight he started to sing "Amazing Grace" with me! I thought this is wonderful to hear him say "grace" & think this song will carry him through his toughest times & will minister to him his whole life . . . my child is on the way to be a great Dove Award winning Christian musician! AND THEN . . .
"Poopy Mommy" followed by a 2 year old laugh, "Burpy Mommy," also followed by a two year old laugh. "Mommy you burp, OK."
Why do little boys learn bathroom words before they learn at least 2 verses to "Amazing Grace?" Why do little boys even like bathroom words?
I love my boys, but I promise I have never heard Bay, the Princess, standing in the bathroom saying burp & ti-ti & laughing hysterically. "Mommy you said not to say bafroom words at the table so we came to the bafroom." (from WFM5, age 3)
Grace even covers bathroom words.
So on the night Baby Whitty wins his Dove Award for best artist, let's all remember this post & laugh in our hearts at God's sense of humor.
His Child, 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

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
