"The Baby"




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 & he gets to have blue cake, but it is bittersweet. How much longer can I rock him at night & how much longer will he give me hugs after naps? (I mean the really tight hugs)


Whitty we love you. God has an exciting adventure in store for you & thank you for letting me be a part of it.


Love, Mommy

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
