Give God the Glory

Callie Grace participated in the 2nd grade Spelling Bee and the Math Mad Minute today. She had 1 minute to answer as many math problems as she could. Callie Grace came in 2nd place. We were so happy for her! Then came the Spelling Bee. Callie Grace won! Her little face was so red and so excited.

Callie Grace and I talked about how God blessed her with a sharp, bright mind. We give God all the glory.

Caleb was so proud of her and told all of his friends. I am so thankful Caleb loves his sister so much and shares in the happy times and the sad. They are each others memory keepers.

Caleb got on purple everyday this week. Way to go, my precious boy.

We love you so much. One more week as a kindergartener and a second grader. Time surely isn't slowing down so I will hang on for the ride!

Spring T-Ball 2014

Our boy has had some wonderful coaches this season. He has learned so much about baseball, commitment and discipline.

I must admit, I am looking forward to a bit of a break, a slower pace that I pray the summer will bring.

I love that I get to do life with these babies

With every fiber of my being, I know that these days are fleeting. I can hardly comprehend that Callie Grace is 8 and Caleb is 6.  In a blink, they will be teenagers and I will take a backseat in their lives.  God entrusted me, this totally imperfect, unqualified person to be their mama.  Thank you Jesus for loaning your children to Kip and myself.  May they never doubt our love and thankfulness for them.

Being Silly

What a fun weekend. Lots of silliness and lots of memories were made. We loved having Aunt Christy and Meredith stay with us for two whole nights!!

Easter 2014

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

We had a special, family filled Easter. I feel extremely thankful as I think back on today. We enjoyed church, 2 amazing meals and an egg hunt. Callie Grace and Caleb fell in the bed tonight.

A Visit to the Dentist

Good reports all around - no cavities.  It does look like we are going to have braces in the future for one kiddo.

Thankful

What an amazing weekend! Six of us girls and our 14 children went to Edisto. Our children had a wonderful time together and got along so well. We laughed, talked cried, reminisced and planned future outings. These women get me and I get them. No pretense b/c there is no need.  These strong women inspire me. They encourage me to be the best version of myself.

Jesus has blessed me beyond measure and I couldn't be more thankful.
