Inscriptions for Gabe ~ 7th Birthday

 Dear Gabe,

Today you are 7! What an amazing year you have had, growing up in so many ways to become a responsible, godly man. This year we moved to a new house, it was quite an adjustment but you looked on it as an exciting adventure!

You have grown this year, you have learned to value responsibility and keep your wallet, watch and knife on you all the time. That is impressive! You learned to empty the dish washer and make your bed. I am so proud of you, your mind is so sharp and you memorize things so easily. Always use that mind of yours for good and never look down on others who don't quite catch on as quickly.

This school year you moved from leveled books to chapter books - your first was the Magic Tree House series. You love to read yet struggle to sit still because you'd rather be outside playing!

In math this year you whizzed through Alpha (1st Grade) and then started Teaching Textbooks 3. You have flourished in Math this year!

 In church you are suppose to be in 1st grade, but you love your brother so much you convinced your teacher to let you hang out with the 3rd grade class. You grow up too much, always tagging along behind Drew. The two of you are inseparable and you keep up with him so well, its almost like having twins instead of you being 3 years apart. You both have the same friends and you are now doing the same school work (for the most part). I'm so proud of you for using your mind for good and challenging yourself !
 Gabers, you are such a protective big brother to your little sister! You keep your eyes on her all the time and protect her from danger. You just received an electric scooter and you did not want her to ride it for fear of her getting hurt.

You are very social, Drew is content to play for an hour or so but then comes inside to rest and play by himself, but you get energized by being around lots of people. You love playing with all the kids in the neighborhood and sometimes talk so quickly no one can understand you. You love to share and play with friends! You get that from your daddy!
I will leave you this year with a charge from Hebews 6: " Therefore  move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[a] and of faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites,[b] the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so." 

 Gabe this year  I pray you will grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men. I pray you will move beyond the basic teaching and become more mature, with a foundation of repentance and faith in God.

 Love,
Momma

Goodbyes Are Hard

If we do our jobs we'll- the end usually brings tears. I look forward to meeting my sweet boy one day- you are a smart cookie and will go far in this world!  Sweet Wesley, You will never remember me, but I was your Mama for a time. Your first day in our home, we took you to our sons adoption at the courthouse and then straight to the hospital. Daddy and I slept at the hospital to be by your side, even though you really didn't know us, we were already wildly protective of you. I brought you home from the hospital after being malnourished and neglected and drove to Children's hospital more times than I can count. I gave you endless breathing treatments and missed Christmas at home with everyone when you contracted RSV. I helped you learn to smile, laugh, sit up, crawl, hold a bottle, play with toys and not be afraid of sweet smiling faces- but I will miss seeing your first steps that should happen soon. I taught you not to be afraid of the world- I taught you to trust. I...

Jesus Brings Hope - Our Foster Journey Placement

March 11, 2015 our little foster baby was born and hope entered the world. He brings to us a message of Christ's love  and purpose for all mankind. His mother chose life and for this very reason I know that in her own way loves him deeply. I headed to Houston on March 12th -  the 17th "met you" anniversary for my husband and I. My husband sent me off with a kiss - off to deliver a huge part of my past. Little did I know our future dreams were about to begin. I was headed to Houston to deliver 8 years of payroll files to our payroll office and to say good-bye to many friends who have battled along side me through the ups and downs of  company life - my job of 17 years was about to be handed over in boxes to be scanned and destroyed, it was very depressing! The files delivered, we ladies went out for a farewell dinner and then I headed to a co-workers home to spend the night. I  went to bed frustrated,  we had been licensed for a foster child since the end of ...

Inscription for Drew: On His10th Birthday

Happy 10th Birthday my son. I can not believe you are double digits already. I have loved you from the very minute I saw the double line on the pregnancy stick. You ushered me into Motherhood! I remember the day of your birth, you were born sunny side up and my back labor was more than I could bare. I begged for an epidural but it was too late - you were on the way! And today you are 10!!  I don’t feel a decade older and yet somehow we made it here  – all 3 ft 12 inches and 50 pounds of muscle and wit and boundless energy! You have grown up so much this last year, you are helpful and kind and have started to look for opportunities to help others. You have a soft and sensitive spirit, never loose that!  This was your year to soar in reading - we've waited so long to overcome your reading struggles and this year I've seen so much progress it makes me want to cry! You made new friends in our neighborhood and have gracefully pointed them to the Lord even though they thi...
