Nana and PawPaw came to see us

We got a surprise visit from my Mom and Dad today and we were so excited. I love spending time with them. It was a short visit but a good one. We just visited and went out to eat but it was just so good to see them. Seems like the older I get the more I miss them and realize they won't be here forever. So I want to cherish all the time we have together.

The boys adore Nana and PawPaw and I think Coleman is really starting to recognize them. I think he has made a very special little niche in Nana's heart. She loves her grand babies but I think Coleman has made a very special bond with her already. Jackson made that niche and bond with his PawPaw right off the bat when he was little. So I am glad my mom is getting to experience that this time with Coleman.

My mom was telling me that my sister is about to have her baby any day now. When I talked to her earlier in the week she said it could be anytime but from the update I got today my Dad think she will be going into labor this next week. We will see. My mom says she will go into labor when the moon fulls. So that occurred today if I read the calendar right so I will let you know if that wives tale has any truth to it. I can't wait to meet my niece Lily Ryan.

Well, I have to get to bed so I will wrap up today with my blessings.

  1. Having my Mom and Dad around for advice, support and love.
  2. Since I hate laundry I thought of this blessing today while doing ANOTHER load of laundry. We are very blessed to have the clothing and linens we have that cause us to have to do laundry.
  3. We are blessed that Trey's car was fixed and it didn't cost a fortune.
  4. We are blessed to have each other and our health.

Operator Error!!!!

Okay so I got the mobile app thinking that I might find time to post more stories and thoughts and some how I made two old post into drafts!  Since this blog is basically a family journal for me and I want to keep each post I am reposting them.  So when you see stories about babies don't think we have had a time warp!  It is just me reposting old post so I don't lose them!

What a morning!!!!

Original Post 8/30/2008 It is just now 8:11 AM and my morning has already been chaotic! I woke up to Coleman crying ready to eat at 5:30....This is 30 minutes after I should have been up getting ready. I was just too tired I guess because I never heard the alarm clock. So out of bed I jump and run downstairs and get a bottle for Coleman and realize that Jackson is now crying too. Where is Trey in all this?!?!?! Still asleep! How is it that a mom hears every cry and a dad has selective hearing? At this point I run back upstairs and get Trey awake and tell him he has to feed Coleman and then I go to check on Jackson and he is hungry so back downstairs we go with sheep, his stuffed animal that is his best friend to cozy up to at night. We get downstairs and he wants a banana and some milk. I get all this together and then we start back upstairs and I see a bunny outside the house through one of the sidelights next to the door and I stop everything because I know Jackson would love to se...

5:22

Sorry for the delay in posting this as a sequel to my last post on May 22 nd . I got home on that particular Friday night and I laid down with Jackson to try and get him to sleep and the verse Galatians 5:22 popped in my head. I thought that was weird since I had woke up at 5:22 that morning...and as I put it together today...it was the 5 th month and the 22 nd day! Coincidence? I think not. So being that I am the mom of two little ones. I ended up collapsing and waking up at 5:22 Saturday morning. My first reaction was OH NO how did I sleep in here all night? This is not good. Jackson will expect this! Where is Trey? Why didn't he wake me up? Then I realize it is 5:22 AM and God is saying Galatians 5:22 in my Student bible that moved with me to Nashville. So at this point I go to the bonus room open up the bible to Galatians and read a section on the fruits of the spirit and then I go to the verses and find "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindne...
