The kids and I packed our bags this past weekend and headed for Destin becuase AAA was invited to play in a soccer tournament there. M was on call, so it was "just the five of us." I'll blog more about that later, but I did want to share this story with you.
On the way home from Destin , sweet Sunshine thanked me for taking them to the beach. Then she said, "I'm the only one who said Thank You." So AAA replied, "Oh yeah? Well thank you mom for taking us to the beach and for taking us to Fudpuckers." Then L'il Man said, "Thank you for taking us to the beach, for taking us to Fudpuckers, and for buying us an ice cream." Not to be outdone, Kit Kat chimed in, "Thank you , mom, for taking us to the beach, for taking us to Fudpucker's, for buying us an ice cream, and for picking the perfect person to marry." Wow!! I was stunned at her response. Until she added, "...because whenever his parents come to our house or we go to their house, they always give us presents." Now that's the KitKat I'm used to!

I'm a 40 year old stay-at-home mom with an awesome husband and our 4 children, ages 10,8, 7, and 6. My goal with this blog is to document our life as a family while at the same time reminding myself with each blogpost to see God's hand at work in our daily lives. God has blessed our family beyond measure and I have a bad habit of forgetting that, especially as I'm scraping dried toothpaste off my sink, the floor, my tweezers, and the handle of my brush while at he same time hearing my children yelling in the background, "Mommy, come wipe me!" , and "Mom, have you seen my other soccer cleat?!" and "Mom, he took my blankey and put it in the trash!" (you get the picture). So join us, if you dare, "where the green grass grows" as I attempt to document our life as a family and count our blessings...one day at a time.
A sweet gentle soul with a love for Jesus that is genuine and real. Her sweet gentle nature is tempered by a competitive spirit that never ceases to amaze me! Always aims to please and always does her very best. She loves Jesus, history, the United States, soccer, and Georgia football!
A naturally obedient, well-mannered, eager-to-please, little man. He loves Georgia football, spending time with his daddy, , playing on the lake, and aggravating his three sisters! His precious grin just makes my day!
A playful, fun, happy-go-lucky little girl who is full of giggles and grins. She loves being the baby of the family but can't wait to be a big sister (it'll never happen!). Her infectious laugh, sense of humor,and easy-going nature keep me thanking God for letting me end on a good note!
