I am just a girl trying to matter to God, my husband, my kids, family and friends. Sometimes I hop two steps forward and crawl one step back or even have to make a twirl to get back on track. But, I hope to give more than I take and have some fun along the way. Stop by for a couple of dances and cut in when you can.
I met Gregg when I was 17 and have been madly in love with him ever since. He is selfless, works really hard, and will do anything for anyone. He really is “that” nice all the time and he makes me a better person. He loves anything outdoors and runs like Forrest any chance he gets. He makes a mean bbq, dances with the kids to Elmo, and leaves cards for us to find all over the house. He is everything I could have ever dreamed of, and I am so proud to be his wife.
Mr. Christian has bluest eyes and is full of life. He is “all boy” and jumps from one adventure to the next. He loves trains, watermelon, and his blankie. He is polite, kind, and has tons of charisma with his little grin. He is a great big brother and gives in to girls more than they deserve. He is Daddy’s little buddy and the joy of my heart.
Miss Callie is everything I ever dreamed up in a little girl. She is about everything and everybody and never sits still. She loves all things girly, babies, mommy’s cell phone, pink, and her pillow. She has a laugh that starts in her toes and will melt you with her smile. She dances through our house in princess dresses with a pen and pad in her hand. She is mama’s little helper and Daddy’s Sweet Pea.
Cate is the icing on the cake. God knew she would be the perfect compliment to our family. She loves necklaces, animals, and her loveys. She has just enough girly to hang with Callie at her tea parties, but already shows a special bond with her big brother loving his superheros. She is a typical third child getting whatever she wants with those deep dimples of hers.
It is official...Callie is a Daddy's girl. Callie has loved me with an intensity that I can't explain. I thought for sure she would be the captain of the Separation Anxiety Club when she got older. When I was in labor, I could feel her crawling back up instead of out. As many people have witnessed, she is(was) a Mama's girl. She didn't like the idea of me being out of her sight for one minute and would use her sweet little(big) mouth to let you know her disgust. But, that has all changed. At first, we thought it was just a fluke...Daddy coming to get her if she woke up to check on her, or him feeding her in the morning. Now she cries when he leaves for work and stands by the door and follows him everywhere. So, mark the date down, she has made the transition to Daddy's girl, much to Gregg's delight.
Hannah Grace made the same transition a little after she turned a year. Last night, she rolled out of bed onto the floor, and I went in to console her. This action INFURIATED her--I want Daddy!!!! Poor Matt had to get out of bed. I tried!
