Not Mine

I wrote a post earlier this morning AND THEN . . . it changed.
Littlest Baby was wide awake & wanted to play - so cute.
Have you ever seen "The Croods?"  Cute movie (minus the evolution) & they have an animal that says,  "dunh dun duuuun"  when something is happening.
Well, Littlest Baby tripped over a blanket that he had put there & chipped 2 teeth & knocked another one slightly loose & his top lip & gums are swollen.
Still = perfect patient
I was home from 2 doctors offices (tubes & dentist) by 10 AM with sick Whitty in tow.

This morning as the nurses took Littlest to start his gas for the tubes - I prayed & for God's love & protection to follow him beyond those doors.  I then comforted myself (we all know I do not share my babies well) by saying over & over again, "He is yours God. He is yours."
They are not mine, I only have them for a time.  I do not share well, but they are not mine.  I do not know how long I will have them - forever would not be long enough, but they are not mine.  I know tubes are not a big deal, but when you witnessed Bay's seizures at 18 months & seen Littlest in his first hours (not well) then each small thing tugs at you heart a little more.

The sweet dentist said, "I am sure we will have many more visits like this one."  I just smiled & told him to watch out for us Martins . . .Let the games begin!

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...

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 ...
