#3: Quietly on his way to the PGA


Here is my #3 baby. He has decided his new obsession is going to be golf. We are going with it. However, #3 was a hot topic of conversation today as he is SHY!!! & won't talk to anyone else if Mommy is around & someone was worried he would be that way when he is older. I know he is different than the #1 & #2, but I will appreciate & embrace the way God has made him. Does it bother me that sometimes he comes across as rude. Sure, but I know he is not. He really is just shy - not a big deal. I was worried about it & told someone that I am not used to this, but she said, "that is the way God made him." Exactly right, God does NOT make mistakes. Trust me he talks & is super smart, he just may not talk when you want him to. Do I "eat it up" how much he favors his Mommy? - Yes! Do I wish he talked more to others? - Sure. But is he a gift? - YES! YES! YES! My ovaries did not always work & ONE day they did & God made Whitty & blessed me & SuperDaddy & gave us his funny self. I knew I would have 3 babies, but not when or how & I love that God made the perfect plan & HE ALWAYS KNEW. So if I baby him a little - we will survive, because each baby - no matter how many - is a GIFT from HEAVEN.
I only have them at home for a few more years so I will take these days slow & we may not have a full calendar & we may take our time getting to full day school & I may not go back to work so we may not have fancy cars & new furniture, BUT we are following God's plan & doing His will for our family to do our best "to raise them in the nurture & admonition of the Lord." I have taken 2 vows/sacraments in the church = to honor my husband & to raise my children in the Lord. This is my calling, my ministry, my love, my life.
Some days he will be quieter than the others & one day he will surprise us all & when he speaks in public, without holding tight to Mommy, we will know it is something special that God had planned from before the beginning of time. . . . .Just a little something on the Mommy's heart . . . Thanks for listening.

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
