#9 for My Boy Whitty



My boy is quiet & real.  My boy is true & smart.  My boy loves his momma!
My Whitty is turning 9 today & this birthday is a little extra special.  My boy is having to work a little harder in school this year & it hurts your heart sometimes, but he is working hard.  As a momma you want to watch your children succeed in everything, but this is  going to be a growing year for my boy.  He is an introvert learning to navigate in an extrovert world.
Whitty,
We are learning together how you learn.  We are learning together how you tick & what you really like.  You like quiet & calm, but don't always get it.
Whitt, you are smart.  You are smarter than anyone knows. Yes, 3rd grade is hard, but if anyone can conquer these learning struggles - you can.
Whitty, one day we are going to look back at this 9th year & it will be one that defines you - of that I am sure.  Wherever your adventures take us I will be right behind you the whole way.
I love you my boy! ~ Mommy

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 ...
