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.

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

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
