Petting Reindeer

Katie was sitting in her chair and looked very sad. When I asked her what was wrong..."I really want to pet a reindeer Momma..soooo bad". I told her that I didn't know where there was a reindeer to pet and she told me to go get one out of the woods.....
ok, let Momma get right on that!

Nicknames

I have so many nicknames for everyone, Nan is concerned that Katie and Jack won't know their names when they grow up.

Jack has been Bubby or Bubs since birth. I called him Squirt the other day and Katie still groggy from her nap said Momma..his names isn't Squirt...it's Bubs!

Katie..my little Lulu...or Lulie

She used to be my little Tater Tot...Tot Tot, Tater Tot. Lots of variations on that...Matthew and I would call her Tate or Tot....and text back and for on "Got Tot?" "I Got Tate". We have evolved and she will always be out Lulu!

Chelci...not sure why...always been my Ladybug. Seems odd calling her Ladybug at 14...but only for her. She will be my Ladybug forever!

Matthew...forever my Buddy....forever and always.

Breathtakingly Blessed

Dear Katie and Jack,
I have had the most amazing time staying at home and being just Mom for almost 6 months. I feel bad that it took a while to master the art of two kids, Winston, Hippie and a whole lot of housework! I am about ready to accept a new job that will change us all. I know you both need to have friends and have more learning opportunities. I will miss when you wake up moments, after nap moments, and heaven help me.....Jack Henry/Winston Howell/Katie Ann moments! I think of the rumble of chaos and it makes me smile from my heart. Today...Jack you called for Katie for the first time....we all were in my bed getting ready for naps and you looked at her and said your name. She said "hi bubba" and kept watching tv. I took your picture as you both snuggled together.
Dad and I did pretty good.........
Love,
Momma
