Things have Changed

Tonight Hayden's best buddy got a new Droid. The boys were giddy with delight as they talked about different Aps. It was fun to watch!

Later in night Hayden told me he really wants a Droid now. I told him "I don't have a Droid, so you are not getting a Droid". After thinking for a moment, he said "I guess I will SETTLE for an IPhone then." My response, " I don't have an IPhone, so you are not getting an IPhone". I hated to burst his bubble but we can't afford those kind of toys! Especially when all three of the boys want one!

I remember when I was Hayden's age and we got a Cordless Phone. I thought that was the COOLEST thing ever!! My, how things change!

Mother's Day

Today, the boys and I have paused to express how thankful we are to have Alecia in this family! No one could replace the gift God gave us! Her loving care and affection for our three boys is Supernatural! She could not be replaced by anybody! Unselfishly she serves this family day in and day out, even when she doesn't feel good she soldiers on! It will be a true blessing in our home when the boys bring their families back to share her with their own kids! We love you Alecia...forever!!!!!!

Alecia, requested Eggs Benedict today so we met her request. We shared a couple cards with her, gave her some roses and chocolates. We are going for a walk in Waynesboro Village and then to an Intense Ministries show at Whitley Church tonight.

By the way, all the ! were for Alecia's benefit!

love the boys!

My Monkey Man

I came accross this picture today! It was taken last fall in SC but I still had not downloaded it! I thought it was cute and wanted to share! Of course he is wearing his favorite color!

Happy Birthday My Monkey!!!

I can't believe that you are all ready 9 years old!! Your birthday was quite an emotional day for me! I was quickly taken back to the day that you were born! I woke up with a Placenta rupture and was so scared all the way to the hospital. When I arrived at the hospital I was told they couldn't find your heartbeat with the Doppler! My heart was broken. After about 20 minutes they did an ultrasound and there you were with a heartbeat! Several hours later you were finally delivered by C-section. I am so thankful for you my little monkey! You have brought me so much joy and happiness! You crack me up daily!

You are such a gentle little man, full of compassion for others. Yet, you are so feisty and full of spunk! I can't wait to see all the Lord has in store for you in this new year!
I love you buddy.
