Jackson Turns Two

Tracy / August 22, 2014

It just can’t be true! Has it really been 2 years?! He is a happy little man. He loves to be cuddled and giggles so that the whole room will begin to giggle right along. We’re deep in the beginnings of potty training. He colors with his older siblings and loves to play with bubbles. He reminds me of Jonathan…

Lest You Think….

Tracy / August 22, 2014

This house stays perfectly clean, I give you proof it does not: The blogging world can be so deceptive. Paul is constantly reminding me people allow you to see what they want you to see. THIS is the result of a busy day. Courtney set the timer and washed almost a dozen loads of laundry. She and Jessa folded it…

…Man and Wife

Tracy / August 14, 2014

The wedding day was perfect. My son was handsome and looking like the man he has grown to be seemingly, overnight. My new daughter-in-law was beautiful and excited. We were surrounded by friends and family. It all still seems a little surreal, but wonderful. Praise God from whom all praises flow….. Please be praying for this new family!!

This Summer…

Tracy / August 13, 2014

I guess I’m just becoming so sentimental as the years pass. This summer has been full, overflowing really, with so many good memories. It’s hard to count them all…the Lord has given us so many wonderful gifts. He’s filled our home and our lives with folks that treat us like their own families. We are blessed. I’m trying to catch…

181. A beautiful new daughter-in-law 182. Babies growing healthy, joyful and strong 183. Good friends who came to visit our home, yesterday 184. A few days with Paul home this week 185. Watching Jessa learn to sew…really all the children learning new things!

Frozen Night at Chick Fil A

Life isn’t all about the wedding right now. Paul and I took the little girls to see the princesses from Frozen a couple of weeks back:

Joshua’s Engagement

(I wrote this blog back in May, but things have just been so busy, too busy, to actually post it with the photos.) The days flow by, sometimes like a cool small spring and sometimes like a raging river. I think we’re in one of those raging river kind of seasons. As one day ends and the next begins, we…

Mother’s Day 2014

YES! They were all home. I was in my p.j.’s, feeding Owen and in walked Joshua. It made my day. It was this time last year, that my mama passed. That thought never leaves me now. I thought of her in heaven. I do wish she could see my family all together, but I know she would never want to…

Updates and Changing Seasons

Another pregnancy has come and gone. I am in awe of God’s grace and mercy to me this last week. Little Owen’s birth was long, but very easy in comparison to some I’ve had. I’m left with a healthy, precious little one that I just can’t kiss enough. I’m in love and I haven’t even had him a week. He…

These Men Learn Early

I’m not sure I understand, nor will I, the obsession men have with power tools. This is Jackson watching as some family friends came to remove the trees that had fallen around our chicken coop: He hasn’t even turned two yet!
