Spotlight on: Daniel


Are you bored yet? Don't worry we have 2 down and 2 to go!

Daniel is the last boy. I thought he would be the last child but we'll talk about that tomorrow!
While David was being Mr. Wild Child in utero, Daniel was just laid back and chillin'. I remember a lady at church telling me that when the boys were born she didn't want to know which one had given me such a hard time and which one hadn't. She was afraid she would like one more than the other.
Isn't that funny? Like that could even happen. You can't help but love both of my D boys.
Daniel is a hoot! I remember when he was little and still in the car seat. He would make a funny face and laugh out loud. He knew he was funny! And he was. And he is. His laughter brings a smile to my face and most often makes me laugh also.
Daniel loves to cuddle with me. The other boys do too, but not to the extent that Daniel does. This boy will practically sit on my lap everytime I sit down. There is no doubt that he loves his mother (or maybe just loves the cushiness of me!)
Daniel likes to ride his scooter. Marmie gave him one last year, and he has ridden the handle bars right off of it. He can even keep up with the boys when they ride their bikes.
He is a good student, he enjoys reading and does really good in math. He is the first one in the school room each morning.
Daniel is my most compliant child. He doesn't want to do anything if he thinks someone wouldn't like it. But isn't so sensitive that he would cry if that indeed happened.
Daniel was saved last year. About 3 weeks after David was saved. His salvation was also an answer to prayer. In fact he was saved at bedtime. Which is when we would pray for his salvation. It was if God was letting us know that He had heard our prayers and He had answered them.
I always wanted three boys. I thought I would only have two children, but I never got that option! I got my three boys and I couldn't ask for a better trio of testosterone!

ps. Just one more to go!

I loved talking to the Dan man tonight on the phone. I like how he said "So, you had a good trip?" What a grown up he is.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
