Changes and a birthday

 Our family has gone through some growing pains and changes.  We are still in the midst of it all but are closer to the end than the beginning.  I don't have some great revelation to share but I feel it is important to mark this space and just take a breath.  These past two years have been a doozy.  All of the emotions. Every single one of them.

Today is my mama's birthday. So many years of birthdays spent without her.  I pray peace and love for you today, mama and for all the days to come.  Thank you for loving me and getting up everyday so I had a chance at life.  At the time I didn't realize how tough that was but I sure do now. I love you.

Carolina Game

 Callie Grace got two tickets to a Carolina game for Caleb's birthday gift.  They went this past Saturday and had a lot of fun together.  I always remind them that they are each others memory keepers.  I love that they had this time together.

Blink

 The years are speeding by and I know my babies will be out of the house paving their own way before I know it.  Goodness, I love them so completely.  Snapped this picture of them the other night.  Caleb has never verbalized this but he loves it when he is able to make Callie Grace laugh.  She just has to start laughing and Caleb will do all that he can to make her continue.  I love that this picture freezes a moment in time.  I know I will look back on this many times in the years to come.  I already have.

Sister and Brother

This fall has been full with football games and tennis matches and practices and more practices.  It is very rewarding to see Callie Grace and Caleb happy and working hard.  We seem to always be in the car.  I am so thankful for these two.





Caleb is #50.

11th Grade

 I can't believe my little girl is now an 11th grader.  She is growing into an adult more and more every day.  She is sassy, loves with her whole heart, is funny and the best daughter I could have ever dreamed or hoped  for.  Make this year the best, beautiful girl!  I love you.

High School

Caleb is officially a high schooler.  While it is hard for me to believe that my little 5 pound baby is a 9th grader, I am not sad.  I am proud of him.  It hasn't been the easiest journey (for him or myself) getting to this day but he is here.  I am excited to see who Caleb becomes.  I pray that he will always lean on and in to God at every turn.  Go make it a great year, Caleb.  I love you so very much.

Growing

 Callie Grace and Caleb have both been very busy.  Caleb has started baseball.  He is loving being a catcher.  It does my heart so much good to see him in his element.  He has learned discipline and dedication and the importance of being on a team.  I love seeing him out on that baseball field. Cheering Caleb and his teammates on is just the best.





Callie Grace majorly stepped outside the box and was in her first ever pageant at her school.  She gave it her best and ended up winning Miss Sophomore.
