My Christmas Letter

Dear Family & Friends,
We have had quite the eventful year.  We have had our times of triumphs & times of sorrow.  We have won some games & lost some.  BUT, we have done it as a family.
This year has marked me & has shown God's power in working on our hearts & family.
Our family has "grown by 2 feet."  Baby Lee is a blessing!  He is eating & sleeping like a pro & Whitty is still wondering why he doesn't have teeth.  We will have a 2 1/2 week old on Christmas day so things will be a little more simple this year, but I think that can only be a good thing.  He is a precious reason to slow down & just be together as a family.
Our princess has tried gymnastics & was learning quickly.  She is super smart in 3rd grade & has made some fun new friends.  We have had spend the night parties to go to & mani/pedi days.  What fun to have a girl!  We love art & dolls & all things pink.
WFM5 is our sports enthusiast.  He is enjoying 1st grade & has moved up through many reading levels quickly!  He can catch an interception & weave through any defense to score multiple touchdowns.  We are about to start another baseball season so we can do as many sports as possible!
Whitty loves pre-school & golf.  Watch out Phil Mickelson - my new 5 year old is ready for your green jacket.  He is learning his letters & numbers & now wants to tackle baseball - what all good Southern boys do!
SuperHubby is working hard to support our growing family & is having fun starting a new division in his company.  He survived this AU football season - thankfully we were distracted with baby preparations.  We will always be AU fans!  He is a huge help around the house & in the middle of the night - what more could I ask for?
On a sad note, we lost 2 grandmothers this Fall.  We were sad to say good-bye, but grateful that they are in Heaven & having a merrier Christmas this year.  I wish they could have met Baby Lee, but they are watching over him & praising God in Heaven. They will always be missed. but especially at this time of the year.
God has blessed our family this year, as always, & has taught us that family is the most important thing.
We are blessed to have each of you in our lives & family.
Merry Christmas! ~ Jocelyn & family

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

  "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.

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
