Holiday Spirit

As long as I can remember our parents have spent extensive time decorating for Christmas, both inside and out... If you want to see something beautiful, ride by 708 Cendar Street in Lumberton and take a look.....

Moma and Daddy's tree with accesories

this is one of my favorite Christmas ornament


And...I decided to decorate my own house and so my son went to work on the outside..

and I went to work on the inside.............

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.....and ask that we all take a moment to remember the real reason for the season.....Thank you Lord for your gift to us all ...................No greater love is that of one who will lay down his life for another........

Jacob and I, we march to the beat of a different drum

Jacob's shades on Jacob

Jacob's shades on Mimi

you be the judge...who looks better in these shades?

Santa is always watching

Jacob is 16 months old now and just like last year, is not afraid of Santa at all. He is a brave little one and I look at him in this picture and he seems so big and grown up but in all truthfulness, he wore this very same outfit last year to get his picture taken with Santa. Adorable then, adorable now....life is good

From my Daughter, Elizabeth

As I was sitting at the computer tonight before bed, I happened to check my facebook page and below is a little inbox message that my daughter, Elizabeth, sent to me out of the blue....this is the unconditional love of a child........

"You are the most beautiful Mom in the world. I don't tell you often enuf just how much I love & appreciate you. When I grow up, I want to be just like you mommy. Kisses"

Doesn't it just melt your heart. Unconditional, no strings attached love....what a way to end the day. This is what life is truly all about.

Jacob, Conner & Santa

Well, this was a trial and error run, I cannot seem to get this scan and copy thing down but at least you get to see the pictures



and my favorite is this look which seems to say..." Dear Santa, all  I want for Christmas is" .......and you can fill in the blanks



Poor Jacob

Our poor little Jacob has been sick since Saturday and we took him to the doctor today. Along with three new teeth came an inner ear infection, hand foot and mouth virus and thrush. Our little fellow is not a happy camper......

 you know he is feeling bad when you can't get a smile from him in the tub, his favorite place in the world is the water

 and he is so exhausted from not sleeping that when he finally shuts his eyes, you hate to move, let alone breath for fear of waking him

Thanks to Aunt Fannie, we finally got his meds and started administering them. Hopefully he will have a better night

Jacob & Uncle RIcky

Sometimes, Jacob goes for a visit to Uncle Ricky & Aunt Fannie's (Jamie) house and has a great time. Just take a look below and sometimes the visit is here..........

Jacob & Uncle Ricky, Back from Church

Uncle Ricky, do you have a hardhat too? 

Uncle Ricky, What's this?

I'm content right now, don't bother me
