Surprise!!!!!

 We’re having a grandbaby!!!! Found out a few minutes ago! Cam and Lexxi surprised me with an “early” Christmas present. Aaaaaahhhhhhh! Dad was watching a game with Ned, but got a phone call. Best news ever!! Can’t wait to watch my baby have a baby! How exciting for two people who love each other so much to find out they’re going to bring a part of them into this world. I love you Cam and Lexxi and I love you already my little grandbaby!!! You are perfect!!! You have the very BEST mom and dad (and grandparents and aunts and uncles and family) in the whole wide world! 

I love you Davy! We’re going to be grandparents!! I’m crying writing this, thinking of when we found out we’d be parents 27 years ago this month! Seems like yesterday. I love you!  

Thanksgiving 2024

 Had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! Very different though. It was the first one since Mumaw and Paul moved to the country. Bittersweet because it marked the end of what we were all used to—being at their house vs. moving on to new traditions. What matters most is we were all able to be together at our house! It was perfect. 

I had fun decorating! 

Michelle and I pulled it off! Everybody brought something which was so helpful. Maddie and Caden just moved in together a couple months ago, so they contributed mashed potatoes and gravy since they are officially adults ha ha. Same with Cam and Lexxi. They brought deviled eggs. Mumaw made her famous cake and it was delicious! Ganmama made a good dessert and some macaroni. Dad and I had been working so hard on the house remodel and weren’t sure if we’d be able to get it all done, but teamwork made it possible. Thank you God for my family. I’m so grateful!!

I love you boys!! 

Easter 2024

 Easter was a little different this year. Mumaw and Paul just moved to the farm a couple days ago, so we had Easter lunch at Michelle and Brennon’s. It was a great day, but we definitely missed Mumaw and Paul. Brennon cooked hamburgers and we went to the beach for an egg hunt for Stella. What an awesome blessing to gather with our family! He is risen! 

The boys are 23 and 25. Caden just finished his first week as a construction manager at Lenar. He’s still living at home. Maddie will soon finish up her first semester teaching kindergarten. Cameron’s still loving his job with Kennedy wire rope. Davy’s about a month into his new job with Trifecta. Davy and I have been married 26 years here. I love you Davy! I love our family! We’re just missing Paul, Mumaw, and Lexxi sadly, but hopefully next year! 

Stella and her Nonnie. 

The boys! 

Cutest couple award!

Best BIL ever! Thanks for hosting us you two. 

Thank you God for my salvation! Thank you for my family and our health. We are all so incredibly blessed.
