A Martin Minute

On the side of the blog we call him "The Baby." We always pretty much call him "The Baby," but tomorrow morning he will be 3! This is crazy! 3 years ago he came in to this world quickly & knowing him now I know he was so excited to see Bubby & Sissy. Whitty loves to be a helper, he loves AU & loves to say his new Bible verse (Psalm 23:1). He doesn't mind being "The Baby." He loves Monday mornings when he has Mommy-Whitty day, but at the same time keeps checking to see when we can pick-up Bubby from school. I am about to cry thinking of this weekend when we take down the crib. This coming spring I will sell a lot of baby toys & clothes. I do have excitement to see what God has in store for this next chapter of our life. I realized I have not been in prayer enough as to following His plan. I am working on this, He is going to do great things in our little family. So tomorrow I will be excited b/c he wants to blow out his own candles &

Just finished a Mommy & kiddo dance party! They are always fun! You know how they play some fun hip-hop songs to get the crowd going at AU games? Well, now I know why they do not play the whole song. Oops - I don't think the kids heard. Anyway, WFM5's new favorite song is BonJovi "Livin on a Prayer." More later - I am beat for the day. ~Jocelyn

Well, what a weekend! We spent some time in good ol' Tennessee with my sweet family. My aunt, uncle & cousin had us up to their house to feed the ducks & paddle boat. My sweet grandparents put us up for a few nights & the kiddos cannot wait to go back. We were glad that cousin T came along, b/c that makes running around the yard so much more fun for Whitty. We were glad to see AL lose - I mean purely for their own good. This #1 business was causing their heads to get to big - it was not safe. We are proud of our boys for pulling out a win, although I must admit I did not watch uch of the game b/c of the great ladies I was visiting with. Thanks AU boys - it makes the season more fun for my boys. More later, Jocelyn P.S. Doesn't my baby look just like Poppa in Poppa's hat???

Well, leav e it to us to find drama at the zoo. Mommy & WFM5 set off on Wednesday to the 4 year old zoo field trip. We got there a few minutes early so we got to play with the roosters & then we started touring the zoo with his cute class. After the sea lion show we went to the kangaroos . . . & then a little later while the mommies were lookin' for change to get fish food a goose came through the fence & bit WFM5 between the nose & the eye. Yes! We can now start a goose bite count for our household. We have a funny bruise, although the swelling was easily stopped with a bag of ice. My boy was super brave! We are going to TN this weekend to recover from a goose bite & will have some cute pics from that trip I am sure. More next week, Jocelyn P.S. I believe I ordered the school shirt a little big
