Callie Reece, two words that just make my heart smile. The icing on the cake, the child I prayed for, the daughter I always wanted, my velco baby...Gregg's mini-me. From the moment that she(didn't want to) come out, she has been taking the world(our world) by storm. I remembering praying that I would get a "girly" girl. Not the princessy type that can't hold her own, but one that wouldn't mind a dress, wanted to be a mom one day, could appreciate the thoughtfulness of a thank you note and one who could long for her knight in shining armour(when she is thirty of course). Man, did God deliver. She can hold her own all right...just try to make her drink a cup of milk or make her do something she doesn't want to do. Besides milk, she is not picky at all when it comes to food. We call her our little raccoon since she will go around and find food anywhere. We laugh when we think of her on her first date, she won't be one of these girls who just orders a chicken salad. Her date better recognize that she has an appreciation for food...all of the courses. She has a giggle that goes on for days, loves baby dolls(only because she can't have her own real baby), has great hair, loves her Daddy more than anything in the world, and is her big brother's shadow. I pray that we teach her the value of herself, that she is beautifully and wonderfully made, and that she loves God, herself and others.
My mom said I painted my toes since I was 2...she never taught me...it was innate. I am thinking this scarf is innate too. She loves it and will wear it for hours. She is my little accessorizer and I am sure this will come back to bite us when she is into name brands.
But, for now, I will laugh at Callie Wallie, Sissy Lou, Sweet Pea, Lala(what C calls her), Sweet Baby, Little Miss's "girly" side.
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.
