Reb's another year older!

Today is our boy's birthday!  Reb is 11 years old!  11 years ago today our first (and only) son was born. He is a joy and a delight to our family.  He has come to the place in his life where he lives and breathes baseball.  We are so proud of him!  He is playing for the Morgantown Angels this year.  If you'd like to show your team spirit, come and join us this May to root on our home team. Go Angels!

Happy Birthday, Reb!  We love you so much!

In honor of my beloved grandmother

Today would have been my Mamaw's 91st birthday.  I came across this poem the other day and I want to post it in honor of her.  She has been gone for over 11 years, yet she is still greatly missed.  Her laugh was so contagious, and her smile could lighten any room.  Home was her favorite place to be.  She loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren with her whole heart. She was so very dear to me, and I love her so much.  

 

She Always Made Home Happy

 

 In an old church-yard stood a stone
Weather-marked and stained;
The hand of time had crumbled it,
So only part remained.
Upon one side I could just trace
"In memory of our mother";
An epitaph which spoke of home
Was chiseled on the other.

I've gazed on monuments of fame,
High towering to the skies;
I've seen the sculptured marble stone
Where a great hero lies;
But by this epitaph I paused
And read it o'er and o'er,
For I had never seen inscribed
Such words as these before.

"She always made home happy."
What a noble record left;
A legacy of memory sweet
To those she loved bereft;
And what a testimony given
By those who knew her best,
Engraven on this plain rude stone
That marked their mother's rest.

So then was stilled her weary heart,
Folded her hands so white,
And she was carried from the home
She'd always made so bright.
Her children raised a monument
That money could not buy,
As witness of a noble life,
Whose record is on high.

A noble life, but written not
In any book of fame;
Among the list of noted ones
None ever saw her name;
For only her own household knew
The victories she had won,
And none but they could testify
How well her work was done.

Wunderlist - a great app for creating lists.  The nice thing about this app is, your husband or kids can have the app too, and if your at the store they can add things to your list and it'll pop up on your phone.  Pretty cool, huh?

Katie is 14!

Another January birthday has come to our house.  Katie is 14 years old today!  She keeps growing by leaps and bounds.  She is now taller than her 2 older sisters (the ones that are still at home) and she is proud of it! She loves to keep everyone smiling...smiling is her favorite. :)  Although she is getting older, she is still young at heart and I love her for that. 

Happy Birthday, Katie!

We love you so much!
