EK Turns Three!

~ Birthdays, Everyday Living, Faith, Family, Granddaughter

Happy Monday, sweet friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are seeing signs of spring. When I first started blogging in August 2014, we weren’t yet grandparents. You have been so gracious as our family has grown beginning with the birth of EM in 2016, EK in 2019, and WL in 2021. We are so thankful for our two granddaughters and our grandson. For many years my friends had talked endlessly about their darling grands, and after the birth of our first, I completely understood.

“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17:6‬ ‭

This past Saturday, our EK turned three. She was so excited about her birthday and talked about it for a month leading up to the BIG day. Speaking of talking…Emma is quite a talker and can literally go nonstop for 30 minutes, even in the playroom with nobody around! Most of the time we are in need of an interpreter.

As I have mentioned before, the blog is a journal of important events and celebrations, as well as the things that I enjoy sharing. Today we are celebrating our sweet little blue-eyed girl!

What a joy to keep Emma and Wyatt every Monday and Tuesday at their house. EK often wants to pick out her clothes for the day. Last Monday, she was in the mood to dress up and I couldn’t help but take a few photos.READ MORE

~ Birthdays, Everyday Living, Faith, Family

Happy Thursday! Long time readers have read many times about my amazing Daddy. Yesterday was his birthday…number 91. Butch and I, along with my brother and sister-in-law had a small celebration with Daddy in his home. Hopefully, we will be able to have a larger party later this month.

“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17:6‬ ‭

So many words come to mind in describing my Daddy. Loving. Kind. Gentle. Strong. Consistent. Faithful. Funny. Contented. Patriotic. Reliable. Patient. Steadfast. Loyal. Dependable. Unwavering. Christian! I could fill a page.READ MORE

One For Emma

~ Birthdays, Everyday Living, Faith, Family, Granddaughter

“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17:6‬ ‭

Happy Thursday sweet readers. I think we are all in need of smiles and some light-hearted fun. Our youngest Princess turned one on March 26! A very small party was planned, keeping in mind social distancing. None of this quarantine business seemed to have any effect on the youngest party goer and guest of honor! Ella Mae had comforted everyone earlier by stating “if the virus comes to our house, we’ll just have to go live in the camper!”

“Grandchildren are the reward for growing older”

Our sweet daughter-in-love crafted all the decorations and planned the perfect party…she is a wonderful Mommy!

Pizza was picked up curbside for the party! No photos, because once the food was available, all phones and cameras were tossed aside in favor of plates!READ MORE
