Christmas Faces - Part 1

Marmie was with us the week of Christmas. She was our only overnight house guest this year and she was a special one, for sure. Henry got lots of Marmie time. I hope the Fab Four don't hate Henry already! ha.

We loved meeting Henry's 2nd cousin, Caden. He came a few days after Christmas. He is the son of Randall's cousin, Micah and his wife, Tabby. We are hoping our boys will grow to be good buddies. Caden is 53 weeks older than Henry.

Randall's Aunt Diana "Sissy" loves a baby and this means our little Henry is on her list! She is Caden's "Grams" and she came with Uncle Rick to see Henry. She had not seen him since the hospital. We were so glad to see her again.

We saw lots of these sweet people, his Nana and Papa. Only being an hour away, Molly can come keep him for me while Papa goes tool shopping, etc. Papa loves a bargain and Nana loves a baby...score for them! We took Henry to their house the Sunday before Christmas to see Nana's white and blue tree and to eat lunch.

Henry met this sweet man the morning after he was born when he came to the hospital. This is Randall's grandad, Pat. This is where Henry's middle name comes from - Patton. We took Henry to see him the Sunday before Christmas. I think they will be good buddies. Randall's Aunt Dee Dee and Uncle Tim may come see him soon (Dee is Pat's daughter) and we look forward to Henry meeting them. His Uncle Tim is one of the funniest people we know. I need a good laugh.


This week we still have lots of Christmas to do and many other faces to see (that will be post "Part 2" this weekend). Grandaddy, Aunt Connie, Juju, Fab Four, Uncle Stephen, Aunt Babs, Hollye, Claire, Thew, Uncle Joe and Ashley are all going to see this baby boy on Friday when we trek over to north Mississippi. He is anxious to meet the Fab Four. I cannot wait to get a picture of the 5 of them together and one with Claire in the mix. My heart may explode.


In January, we will do a "part 3 trip to the Fort" post. I cannot wait for Henry to meet his "people" on the west side of the state. In early Spring he will meet my Mawmaw and UD when we take him to Texas. My heart goes crazy thinking about him meeting them...come on Spring!

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 p...

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...
