July Birthdays!

Let the games begin . . . .
We have about 432 birthdays in the month of July! Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a little, but not much.
Mamaw & Super T & Miss Shelby & Miss Katie are on the 1st
Cousin Ann is on the 2nd
Poppy & MiMi are tomorrow the 3rd
Sweet Aunt Patsy is the 8th
GiGi is on the 18th
JoJo is on the 23rd &
Aunti Kim get the 27th
AND our Princess is on the 28th
Also, we will throw in our anniversary
Who knows if I have forgotten someone??? - probably
We stay busy because we love each of these people to pieces. We have to make all the birthday cards & make sure everyone feels loved. We have already started by celebrating Mamaw & Super T. I am not sure if the restaurant we had Mamaw's & MiMi's birthday dinner at will let us back, but we will try. Super T is one fun cousin & we had a fun time at his party & then took him balloons yesterday & played with his new toys. We need to give Cousin Ann one of our famous birthday calls & start getting ready for Poppy's party tomorrow. We are going to TRY to visit GiGi a little early for her birthday & I KNOW Aunt Patsy will wait by the mailbox for her birthday drawings. (Can't you just see Aunt Patsy sitting by her mailbox for a week =))
Something special must be done for JoJo, but not sure what yet & of course we are busily trying to find the perfect gift for Aunti Kim. (Seriously, we stayed with her for 4 days last month so we will have to make it up to her)
The Princess gets her own post AS DOES our anniversary.
We love everyone & wish you each a special day - actually DAYS! Take a break, relax & enjoy a special memory.
All our love, the Martins

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...

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 & ...

Happy New Year 2025!

 Well, the end of 2024 caught us a little off-guard. So I am little late . . .  2024 started off with WFM5 turning 18! CRAZY! In the middle of 2024 Bay turned 21! CRAZY! Whitty is 17 & Baby Lee is in middle school! CRAZY! How can they be this old? How can 2 live in another city? How can the hubby be 50??! We had a lot of fun this year, we traveled & tailgated. We laughed & laughed some more.  We also grew this year inside & out, in times of tears & joy. We lost our sweet friend - Kim Haynes, our Auntie Kim. We had moments of telling her daughter that Mommy went to Heaven, we had hard conversations & times to say goodbye.  We had times of telling EK how wonderful her momma was. 2024 also sent another to AUBURN! Momma may have cried the whole way home. But to see him thrive brought Momma such joy.  Baylor (21) is studying education at AU & is having a blast with her cute friends, in her cute house. She stays busy with schools, concerts ...
