From Aunt JuJu To Baby L

Friday - April 10, 2009
Aunt JuJu writes a letter to Baby L

To my darling niece/nephew,
Uncle Stephen brought me a card today. It said that I was going to be an Aunt.I cried.
I'm so happy for your mom and dad. They love each other so much. (Did you know that your grandmother and I set them up on their first date?) (I guess that means you really should belong to me and live with me. We'll talk about that later!) I can't wait for you to meet your mom and dad. They are really cool. Your mom has a sense of style that I long for. (You are going to have the coolest clothes and room!) She has a loving, giving, kind heart. She has wanted you for so long and is beside herself with anticipation. Your dad is a hard worker. He gives everything he does 110%. I know that being a dad will be no different. He is a kind, gentle, loving man. He is anxious for you to arrive. These next few months better go fast!They not only love each other, but they love the Lord. And I can't wait to hear them telling you Bible stories about Jesus and how much He loves you! I'm sitting here today thinking about what you will look like. I'm thinking that you will have dark curly hair, and big dark eyes. Your mother had the biggest eyes anyone had ever seen. She was a beautiful baby, and I know you are going to outshine her! You are going to be loved on by your cousins. When they heard about you, they danced around the room and chanted "We're going to be cousins" and "Aunt Abby is going to have a baby!" They are also excited. I love you! I can't wait to meet you!

Love, JuJu

I cried when this hit my inbox. I am so excited about JuJu being an aunt! I remember the day in 1997 she told me I was going to be an aunt. I thought my heart would swell out of my chest. I guess that is how she feels today.

Abby

What a wonderful letter Julie has written to her nephew. I know she will be the best aunt ever to little Robert Eugene Lee (Robert E. Lee...get it?)
Seriously, I know this coming child will get the same benefits of a christian home that his/her cousins are reaping with Julie and Stephen as parents. Golleee, 5 grandkids. I can't wait !!!
I cannot wait to make that third trip to St. Bernards for the birth of a grandchild. I know God is going to protect that baby in his/her mother's womb and each time the baby kicks, Abby will probably feel like Elizabeth felt when the cousin of Jesus heard the Saviors name spoken by his parents.
God has been good to all of us.
Praise him and lets all pray that all goes well for Ab and Little Bobby Gene.
Love,
Baby Lee's Proud maternal Granddaddy.

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
