Daybook Entry

Outside our window...Its a cloudy day today. Warm enough to go without a coat, but not very pretty.

Within our walls...Today was testing day for the kids. We got up and got going early this morning, so this afternoon I'm catching up on laundry and straightening up the house. I seem to do more housework when I've been gone some of the day,

A heart of thanksgiving...So thankful for life. One of the first kindergarten students I taught died Unexpectantly last Wednesday night. I kept up with her and usually saw her once a year at church camp. She was always so friendly, and sweet. Her loss is felt by many people, she was active in college, and served at Camp Siloam for years. She knew the Lord, and is now resting in his arms.

A heart of prayer...I'vr been praying for sweet Shelby's family all week, Mike and Laurie are devastated and are feeling our prayers.

Random observations...

My silly children...Abby bought Daniel and David foam swords when we visited last week. Daniel said Stephen said they couldn't have them, but i didn't know why so I let them have them.  Now, David has a large bruise on his arm from where Daniel hit him with the sword! Now I know, Stephen might have been right. 

Thoughts from the kitchen...Last night was Aunt Janet's sweet and sour chicken, and tonight will be ball field food.

What I'm reading...I just started a book on sex written for boys. Oy Vay!

Projects...Anna and I were a bit crafty last week with my Cricut. This week, we're going to do it again,

Sounds of the moment...Friends is on the tv, and Daniel and David are playing Minecraft.

What I'm wearing...jeans, striped shirt, black tank, black shoes. 

A favorite thing from last week...Friday night I was all by myself for a few hours, oh it was bliss. But Saturday evening when all six of us were in the living room together topped that! I love my family.

On the calendar...A couple of ball games this week, and most importantly it's April. Birthday month!!!

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
