#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.

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 ...
