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

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 ...

My favorite neighbors ~ you know who you are & thank you for always helping & being a part of our family.  I love that some came over last night to cook spicy ramen, because they knew my kitchen would be open.  I love that we can walk in without knocking & that Dr. Peppers get left on my doorstep. I am thankful for Dr. Pepper! I am thankful for Chicken-Moo! PSALM 107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, H...

HOW???

How is it time for Summer? How are we buying teacher gifts? How have I registered my baby girl for her senior year of high school? How have we had 5 days of soccer try-outs & we are only halfway through? How are we scheduling senior portraits & ordering senior jerseys? How are 2 of them taller than me with bigger feet? How do they make their own plans & inform me of what they are? How do we have 1.5 drivers at our house? How do they stay up later than me? How is all this happening so fast? HOW?
