Four years of birthday shots by Josh Weast

I had no idea I was so close to having this done!  I started it right after having Tanner's pictures taken in September!  It took me literally two minutes to get this into jpeg format!  I am an IDIOT I tell you!  LOL...Thanks Josh for the great pictures your taken of my little sweetie the past four years!  You bring out the best smiles!

Happy Happy birthday T!

OK, so I'm a little late with this posting!  HA.,..3 months late!  But, once again we got some great pictures taken at Portrait Innovations with their best photographer - Josh Weast!  After the fiasco last year, I made sure to ask for Josh from the time I made our appointment this year! 

                                

                                    

The Broken Chain

The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.  In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.  It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.  you left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.  Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

This was in a cousins rememberance from his funeral and I'd never heard it before, but I loved it.  This morning I'm looking through a catalog & saw a frame wtih this saying on it.  It makes em think of my Grandma whom we lost in Oct 2004.  And it makes me think of my friend Holly that is saying goodbye to her Grandmother today.

They really do have such a special place in our hearts, Grandma's I mean.  I still miss my Grandma everyday and think of her probably just as often!   

My pretend life husband...

OK, can I just say that I am pretty darn sure Darius Rucker is THE best looking man out there?! Yea, look at that smile!

Tugging at my heartstrings!

So as I’m dropping my baby, OK so he's almost 5, off this morning he's asking for one more hug & one more kiss!  As I race out the door I say to another Mom "how many kisses & hugs can you give before you leave"!?  So then I'm in the car driving & thinking how terrible it is for me to be thinking that! It hits me that this is one of those things that stinks about being a working Mom! I don’t get the time to enjoy these hugs and kisses that he's so dying to give me today. He’s not going to be this young and affectionate with his Mama forever. I wish there were more time to enjoy these little things!
