Twins!!


Daniel is on the left and David is on the right in both pictures. (At least thats what we tell ourselves about the first picture)
I can't believe these babies are 11 1/2. They seemed so little, and fragile back then. I didn't know what to expect with twins. I had visions, and nightmares about two boys the same age. But those visions didn't come true.

They were good eaters, sleepers (Thank you Babywise!) and even good toddlers. I often say having them is the most fun I've ever had. 

When I was pregnant I thought one would be blond and the other brown headed, they arrived looking just alike. We didn't know who was who just by looking the whole first year! It wasn't a good feeling not being able to tell your children apart. 

Although David and Daniel look a lot alike they act so differently. And I love each of them so very much. God gave them such different personalities. They bring much laughter and smiles to our lives.

A few months ago a preacher friend came up to me to tell me that a dear older man in the church had come to him saying that my boys were tricking him. I knew it was going to happen sometime, we tease about it, but I couldn't believe they had chosen to trick an older man. I confronted them about it and they denied it, when asked separately and together.

Months have passed and the man had been sick and was back in church Sunday. Daniel went to say hi to him during church, and as he was walking back to me, the man turned to a friend of mine and asked if she knew him. He told her that he used to think he was a twin!! It turns out when he said the boys were tricking him, he actually thought it was one boy trying to convince him he had a twin! I couldn't believe it, how funny. I told the boys and Daniel was so relieved. He had felt bad about tricking the man.

We knew they would pull a trick or two, but never did we think telling the truth would cause confusion! I hope you get to meet these boys in person one day if you haven't already. They love the Lord so very much and are good sons. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for them in the future.

Oh, these boys bring us such joy.

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
