Finally...A Vacation!!











We are finally getting to go to the Beach!! We are more excited than usual...This momma is ready to chill for a few days!! These pix were taken exactly 3 years ago! Braxton was 21 months and Janie Belle was almost 3 months!! They are some of my favorites...so small and so precious!!

Back to Pre-school!!

So BIG and holding the door for mommy and Sissy!!




Gotta love those flapping pig tails!!




Very happy to sit next to little buddy Barrett Galimore!



Saying, "Cheese" for Ms.Shea when she first got to her room!








\What a Big day for these 2!! They went Joyfully and with BIG Smiles!! Mommy went with quite a few tears and a heavy heart! What is is about school in general that makes little lives flash before your eyes? I wonder if my mission as "mother" is being accomplished...Have I nourished their minds, bodies and souls enough to take on this great world without me? Have I read to them enough? Have I cuddled enough? Have I laughed with them enough so that their little hearts are overflowing with Joy? Have I prayed for them enough? Have I kissed enough boo-boos? Am I up to par in every department of their childhood? The truth is...I have absolutley no idea...!! I never will and I think as parents we are critical of ourselves and how well, or not well, we parent! My own mother still talks about things she would have done differently!


However, what I do know is that they both RAN, literally RAN...joyfully and willingly into a new season with laughter, excitement and no hesitation!! This makes my heart happy...that they are confident and content in their little, tiny lives to take on their own, childish mission...And that is just being a kid...and Loving it!!!!
