Annabeth's Trip to Panama City Beach with Agape Baptist Church

Jennifer Nash asked Annabeth to go as a chaperone to the youth beach trip.  She went and had a sweet time.  I think she got really close to Jennifer and Amie.  We appreciate them so much pouring into her life.  She really struggles with anxiety and fear.  You can tell by the shirts she bought that it is something she constantly works on.



Annabeth on the pier
Fear not, for I am with you.

a storm was brewing

She has grace in her heart and fire in her soul

Uncle Porgy

Porgy found out just a few weeks ago that he had Stage 4 Liver cancer, the doctor said it was very ugly and aggressive.  There was not much they could do.  He decided to stop dialysis treatments and went on hospice.  After about a week of being essentially bed bound, he was admitted to the Baptist Collierville Hospice House.  He passed away today with Janice by his side.  They had a love like no other spanning 32 years.  I am so grateful he had someone to love and care for him all of these years.

Because of the Covid situation, we are unsure of final arrangements at this time.

Thanksgiving and Christmas just won't be the same now.

Porgy & Janice (they always laughed so much together)
Our last picture with Uncle Howard....can't believe they are all gone.

me and my sweet "Unca Porgy".  We had a special bond, because we were both "the baby"


Reunited and it feels so good. 

love these old pictures.

Dallas Kindergarten Physical

It was time for Dallas dreaded kindergarten physical.  Sarah had to drive the Teen Challenge guys to the job site, so Justin took Dallas.  He talked it up big and the anticipation was great, but Justin said he was so brave and did not even cry.  That mask though (in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

Christmas Eve Brunch 2019

Me, Dwayne and Annabeth were sick, so Marilyn and Daddy agreed to host our annual brunch at the last second (HUGE thanks to them).  Porgy and Janice, Daddy, Marilyn, Rhonda and Austin were there and Charlie Boy and David were able to come.  They said they had a sweet time but missed us.  I said they were trying to look like a royal family taking the picture like this.  Granny would have loved it.

Christmas at Sarah & Justin's house

 We had bunches of fun at Sarah and Justin's house this weekend having a little early Christmas with them.  They got Austin the perfect gift.  a Golden Girls sun visor.  Now if nothing else, he can find his car.

 Silly little Dallas.  He had a big ole bump between his eyes where he fell.  
 This was a home made gingerbread house Hunter made.
 Annabeth has always been our Cindy Lou Who
 Hunter
 Dallas almost had some plumbers crack!
 Noah
 So dramatic
 our Christmas jammies
 So excited for the Lion king movie
 playing a friendly game of Left-Right-Center
 money was involved....shhhhhh!!!
  needless to say, he was excited for his journal with a lock and key.
 Sarah's new stockings her sister in law made for her, the homemade gingerbread houses the boys made and the gnomes Sophia got for the boys in Denmark.
