Two Firsts

First #1 was this morning when we took off our pjs for a change and got dressed so we could start daycare and go back to the working world. It was a cold morning but I felt warmed by all the prayers you were praying for us. Many thanks for that. It was amazing the way they protected me.

This is the happy little boy who looks as though he is doing a daycare hand jive. "I am going to daycare. I am going to meet some friends. I am going to daycare. I am going to be the cutest one." He was so sweet this morning as we got ready to set out on our new journey.

This is me about to hand my littlest heart to some sweet lady I had never met but I knew it would be okay and she would take good care of him. This picture of me is not okay though...whew, I need hair help. I have received 2 bad haircuts this month. My fixing the 1st one made it even worse. It is not about me, the baby weight still in my face, or my hair though, it is about this cute littlest love and his rite of passage this morning.


First #2 was Henry's first overnight stay away from Mama & Daddy. He went to Nana & Papa's Saturday and spent the night while Randall and I spent the day in Memphis together. That is our city. That is where it all started!

Daddy loving on Henry before Nana gets to the house. We had to get up early because Nana was coming to get that boy! Look at Daddy's sleepy eyes. Oh, Nana. She had Papa come with her so she could sit in the back and visit with Henry. Nana is a sweet mess!

And Henry loves Nana. Look at that smile as she holds him up to her. He have a happy boy who is loved a lot by so many people. We are blessed to have all these "firsts" with Henry Patton.

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'
