What does it say?

I came across someone's blog titled "The Company She Keeps." It turns out it was about a girl, her husband & their group of friends, but when I first saw the title I thought of a mommy & her kiddos as the company she keeps.
What does the company I keep say about me?
Well, when they dress themselves - I may seem a little "off my rocker."
When they tee-tee in front of the tree in carpool line (instead of behind it) - I may seem a little too lax.
When they sit on the floor in the grocery store - I may seem gross.
When they kiss & hug each other (& won't stop) until they fall over - I may seem a little too happy.
BUT, really I am just a mommy who loves the company I keep.
When they dance with perfect stage presence at their recital - I seem like the proudest mommy.
When they have their last day of school & I cry everytime every year - I seem like a loving mommy.
When they wear matching outfits - I seem like a together mommy.
SO, I guess if I could they would all match all the time, always perform perfectly & I could cry at all the right moments. (Wait, about that last one I cry at least every other day about something wonderful they have done.)
Love, 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
