I'm on a roll..

I am really trying to fit blogging into my crazy, busy schedule. Are you still there? I am thinking that I might have lost a lot of my readers..

First photo/taken in Springhill, Tn: Mattie @ 3

The following photos are from this past weekend. Rich's little brother and his girlfriend were here visiting from California. It was the first time that Mattie and Jon Paul met him. He is their Godfather. Rich & Randy's father stood in as proxy during their baptisms.

Photo #3: Rich helping his grandmother down the stairs..she will be 98 next month!

Yaya, Dad, Rashel, Randy, Rich(above)/Jill(below), Mattie, Gram, Trae & Jon Paul

**More funny stuff from Mattie~cakes** You know the big rubberbands that the postman will use to hang a package on your mailbox? Well Mattie found one laying around the house and she laid it across the top of her lip (under her nose and above her top lip). Then she said, "I am a grandfather!" Too funny!!!!

Hi

Are you still there? My apologies for being the world's worst Blogger. I thought I would share a few photos with you and hopefully have more for you very soon!

Izabelle is in 6th grade this year. Isn't she just beautiful?


Trae is a Senior this year..I still can't believe it. The time has come..I have to let him grow up and become a man..but it hurts..why does it hurt so bad?

Mattie..our little energizer bunny. She has such a big personality..she is always crackin' me up! Just yesterday she said, "Mommy, your boobs are in the floor." I said, "What?" Again she said, "Your boobs are in the floor." I looked down in the floor (laundry room floor) and there laid my bra. I nearly peed my pants! She is a hoot :o)

..and our newest addition..Jon Paul. He is about 2 months in these photos. He is my smiling blue-eyed chunky baby. I really think that his eyes are going to stay blue! They are so beautiful. I love, love, love his sweet snuggles :o)

'Till next time..

September 11, 2001 ~Where where you?

Tuesday morning. Trae was already at school and Izabelle was at daycare. I was on I-40 West bound..heading to work. I was listening the radio when I heard about a plane (the first plane) crashing into one of the towers. I remembering wondering..how in the world can someone accidently hit a tall building like that? I thought it was just a horrible accident. Then right before I arrived at work the second plane had hit. I remember sitting with the office staff watching the television..completely stunned. I was extremely upset and my heart was broken. I cried off and on throughout the day and we listened to Lee Greenwood sing Proud To Be An American through the speakers of the radio that my office manager and I shared. I remember talking to my grandmother about what had happend that morning during my lunch break..who would have thought it would be the last conversation that I would have with her? She passed away September 26, 2001.
