I am a wife and mother of three great kids, Sarah, Austin and Annabeth. Mimi to three sweet grandsons, Noah and Hunter, and Dallas. I am a nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit of a large inner city hospital. So, sit back and relax, this is the story of our family.

Med Fest 2014 is quickly approaching

 The closer it gets to January 16th, the more anxious I get.  I will be honest and admit that I am afraid.  Afraid of the unknown, afraid of sickness, afraid that I will not be as effective because I will be out of my comfort zone, but I believe that the Lord has laid it on my heart to go and He will take care of the rest.  I believe He will bless me for my willingness.

Christmas 2013

 Noah is Staying Up for Santa
 Santa was good to Noah and Hunter
 What they asked Santa for was a Mickey Mouse Puzzle.....he did not disappoint.
 they were a little grouchy at first..............
 they got over it quickly though.
 Sweet Hunter
 a new doctor kit
 Austin teaching Noah how to pillage and search for booty, all while the pirates are getting seasick over the side of the ship.  Maybe he should not play with the children.  His imagination is too wild.
 Delphine (Kathy Bates in American Horror Story) is his Home Girl
 Sweet little Annie-Beth
 lots of small parts in all of their toys.  They will never all be matched to the right toy ever again, probably.
 more pirate ship play
 Pimp Daddy
 Noah can always count on his PeePaw to make him feel better.
 Annabeth, Noah and Hunter watching Shrek
 Dwayne told Sarah she will be really hard to see if she was in a pink camoflage forest.
Hunter gave it up with Peepaw in the afternoon.

Christmas Eve Services - Lakeland FBC

Sometimes the most candid pictures are the sweetest.  They really do love each other.






This was our reaction when Austin said we looked like a couple of old middle aged grandparents.

Sarah

Now that Sarah is grown and gone, she is not around as much for me to just snap pictures of her.  She did a photo shoot for the boys a month or so ago, and these are a few of her.

It was Mark's last regular concert with the GVB.

Mark said he looked like the Grandpa from the movie "Up"...he does.


2 of my faves.....Reggie and Wes.

David Phelps sang "Oh Holy Night"

Charlotte Ritchie is one of Dwayne's faves.....and Ladye Love Smith was a surprise guest.  Reggie's grandmother had died earlier in the day and she drove to Memphis to pick him up on the way to Iuka, Mississippi for the funeral.
