every captive thought

Happy birthday my sweet Mommy!  I pray that this year of your life is the best yet!  I pray the Lord so richly blesses you for all the ways you bless ours. I'm so blessed to have you for my Mom and my best friend.  You mean so much to each of us.  I love you dearly!  YAMS!

My sister and her family came into town for the New Year.  It was so great to have them all here.   Katy Jane and Will.  She loves all of her cousins so much! Katy Jane either takes to people right away or doesn't.  There's not a lot of gray area there.  She has always loved her Uncle Cory. All the kiddos. Nana and Brock.  Sweet boy! Secret hide-outs.      We even got a rare double date with Cory and Christi!  What a treat! Seriously...it never happens.  Ever. Little Miss Katy Jane has attitude deluxe.  Pray for me during her teenage years.  I feel afraid.  She dishes out a range of emotions every day that leave me feeling perplexed and somewhat alarmed.  But this little girl...I love her so.  She's mostly all sugar and spice.   My precious friend Suzanne and I took our kids to see a Winnie the Pooh performance one afternoon.  It was SO cute!  The kids lov...

Today was my sweet friend Tara's baby shower.  She is having twins.  So exciting!  She totally hit the jackpot too...one boy and one girl! Tara has been such a sweet blessing in my life since I met her.  I'm so grateful for her and for the joy of getting to share in this exciting time in her life.   Her sweet girls Parker and Piper. Her beautiful sister and baby Jax. I'm not gonna lie.  I got a little toasty and had to take a moment in front of the freezer. My girls.   I'm so excited for Tara, Nathan, Parker and Piper.  I can't wait to meet these sweet two blessings that will be here soon.  These babies are already so loved.
