Happy 18th birthday Jacob!

Where has time gone? Seems like yesterday I was looking through the incubator at my baby boy and wondering what the future might hold for you! You looked so tiny in there even though you weren't very tiny at 10lbs and 3oz! Dad and I both loved you so much! You were a joy from the start, wiggling around until you had your head right under our chin! The law says you are a man but somehow my mother heart says that can't be---that perhaps you are still my little boy!

Family

We had a hurried but good day with the family yesterday. I think it was Abigail that asked me why her dad was going bald and Uncle Darwin wasn't. At first I said they had different genes but she gave me a funny look so I told her I really didn't know how that worked but apparently her dad got the bald genes and Uncle Darwin didn't! She really likes her pap-pa Brunson. None of us ever got to know Daniel's dad because he passed away when Daniel was 17. Since they never really knew my dad either Pap-pa Brunson is the only grandpa they have ever known. He is a great one to them!

My girl and me!

When Abigail tried on my dress and it fit I was shocked. I told her to go see her dad and she didn't want to because she thought he would be mad because she was wearing my dress.....I told her that anger would not be his reaction! I was right of course, he came out to where I was and said, "wow! I would of never imagined how that would make me feel but I got teary-eyed!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABIGAIL!

I love you! You were one of the cutest babies ever! I am so happy that dad and I were the ones blessed with you! You make me laugh so much! I can't believe you are 15 already! You should be my 8lb 2oz baby girl still! More than one of my male friends has said, "I am so glad I don't have any girls." As you can see your daddy loves his girl!

One girls trash..........

is another girls treasure!
I rescued these tables from a trip to the landfill when we were in Florida. A friend said that she was going to put them by the curb if I didn't want them so I took them to put in a yard sale but the more I looked at them the better I liked them! At first Daniel was not pleased that I brought them home but now he likes them!
