About Me

My photo
I am a mother of two great and very different little girls and a wife of a great man. We try to live our lives to glorify God. Hendersonville, TN (just north of Nashville)is where we call home. John and I both love SEC football...just two different teams. Baseball is my favorite, especially the St. Louis Cardinals. We both cherish those close to us and strive to love God to our best ability daily.

Our Baby is 4!!!

Hard to believe that this is where we were 4 years ago...having our precious baby girl in St. Louis.  My how our lives have changed since that day! All for the better, but still changed.  This girl has brought so much joy into my and her daddy's life that words cannot begin to describe it.  Yes, we have challenging days and sometimes I need a break, but at the end of it all she has my whole heart and I can't imagine loving her anymore.  However, that loves keeps growing and our relationship keeps growing and she keeps growing.  I tell her all the time to slow down and she replies with "Mommy I want to grow big".  Breaks my heart!  Then I see her learn something new, sing a new song, remember a new bible verse and the growing up isn't so bad. If anyone figures out the secret to keeping them small, let me know! ;-)  I am only 1/2 serious there.  I know that God has BIG plans for this one and I do ( I really do ) look forward to seeing them unfold.  For now we will enjoy her fourth year, teaching her new tricks and playing her favorite games!  Kelsey Lynn I love you to the moon and back (and then to Target).

Exciting News from Kelsey


Yes that says what you think it does.  Kelsey is going to be a big sister!  Everyone keeps asking me if it was planned....yes it was.  Are we crazy, probably, but she has been the biggest joy in our lives.  Now we will have 2 joys!  We are very excited and Baby Robus is expected to be here in May.  

I am now in the second trimester.  Which I welcome with open arms!!!  Now just to get the nauseous and what follows to stop! Hopefully it is coming soon.  I have more good days that the other, but it is still present.  I have been tired, but energy seems to be creeping back in.  It is a good thing b/c I need it and now!  K is turning 4 (TOMORROW PEOPLE!!!) and we are hosting one of our 2 Thanksgivings at our new house next week (EXCITED!!!) and there is so much more to do of course!  Christmas is right around the corner.  So, now the blogging world knows along with the other social media outlets too.
