I just wanted you girls to know how much I love you and how much I think of you during the day.  You have my heart…

I just wanted to write to you today.  No reason, I’ve just been feeling the urge to put some thoughts down the past few days. Today is Thanksgiving 2015.  Lindley, it is your first.  We have quite the family, now.  Lindley, Avaleigh, Mom, and me….plus Zoey (our St. Bernard who Avaleigh loves to hug on)Continue reading “Thanksgiving Letter 11/26/15”

I can’t even begin to tell you how hard the last month of my life has been.  There have been so many things that have gone on and I have felt so overwhelmed, so tired.  It’s times like these that I wonder if I’m in the right position.  It’s just been so much. Paw hadContinue reading “Three "To-Do's" In Life”

Girls, It is hard being a Mom and Dad with both of yall so close in age.  I know as we get older, struggles and hard times now will be replaced with different types of struggles and hard times.  But here are some things that I want you to remember when you become parents… JustContinue reading “When You Have Kids…”

Girls, As you grow, I hope I can provide you with the lifestyle that will keep you comfortable.  Your Mom and I have good educations and good jobs, which translates (typically) into nice things for all of us.  We have the big TV, computers, nice cars…etc. I hope you grow to know those things wereContinue reading “Be Less Than”

It’s taken nearly two months.  The absence wasn’t because I haven’t wanted to write to you, but I just couldn’t find the words and I’ve been working on finding a way to put my thoughts and words down…to where they made sense to you. Since Avaleigh was born, I’ve been having this tug at myContinue reading “Broken (10/17/15)”

Here we are….on the verge of welcoming a 4th member to our little family. Just a few more weeks to go and, needless to say, I’m starting to get nervous.  I just don’t know how I’m going to do it. I’m not worried about the lack of sleep, keeping pace at work, changing diapers, feedingContinue reading “Lindley is Born”

Dear Lindley, “You are Blood of My Blood, and Bone of my Bone.” I wish I knew the color of your hair.  I wish I knew the color of your eyes.  I wish I knew the color of your skin. I wish I knew your smell, your look, your smile. I wish I knew theContinue reading “I Wish You Knew…”

In my heart, I will always defend you.  I will always fight with you.  But understand… The world is full of kids who are out there kicking doors in every single day.  You are going to have to learn to stand on your own and kick those doors in yourself.  We can’t do it together.Continue reading “Forgive Me When I Watch You Fall”

Girls, I’m 38 years old and I feel blessed to say that I, until two weeks ago today, had one set of grandparents alive. I hope one day you can say the same.  Two weeks ago, Papa passed away. It was one of the best and worst moments of my life. Let me tell youContinue reading “Papa Passed Away :(“
