To my boys.

*posting this on the day i am 34 weeks pregnant. Surely we have several more weeks to go but you never know so I wanted to go ahead and post so I won't forget!


To my sweet Graham and Thomas, 

 

Where oh where do I even begin?  To say y’all were the surprise of a lifetime is an understatement.  Never in my life did I ever think about/dream of having twins.  It NEVER crossed my mind.  BUT, with that being said….it didn’t take your daddy and me long to come around to the idea and fall in LOVE with you two.  Although the thought of twins has caused quite a bit of anxiety and worry (over things you two won’t have to think about for quite some time….like finances and balancing life with three kiddos) it has caused even more love, excitement and absolute pure joy.  Once we got over the initial shock of being told we were having twins…your daddy and I would stay up late talking or randomly just look at each other with amazement over the fact that God was blessing us with twins.  TWINS.  It was so surreal. 

 

And let’s just say the very MOMENT we found out you were both boys, it was like we just KNEW God had completed our little family.  It felt like it should have been that way the whole time.  Built in best friends and playmates for life?  Your daddy was ecstatic as he and Uncle Trey are only a year apart and he always hoped for two little boys to share the same fun, adventure, and craziness that they had. (Mama’s a little weary of the craziness to come, but we know it will be fun!) 

 

Your big sister is going to love you two like crazy, she’ll probably drive you crazy too over the years…but I’m sure not as much as you boys will annoy her.J  Such is life with siblings!  Collins loves babies and we hope and pray that she feels that same love for her brothers…she’s not really old enough yet to fully understand what’s about to happen, but there isn’t a doubt in my mind that she will love and protect you two until y’all are old and big enough to be the ones doing the protecting of her.  I pray that the three of you will always love each other, always have each other’s backs and always look out for each other. 

 

My prayer for each of you is that you grow up to be independent, kind, caring, loving, Christian men.  I pray that you will be each other’s best friend, but that you will also grow on your own and have the courage to do what YOU want to do.  I pray that your dad and I are able to  help fulfill your dreams and also that we do a good job of not treating you two as one individual unit, as this is one of our biggest fears.  I pray that you EACH feel loved and special at all times, you are both already loved so much I hope I can continue to foster that love with both of you over the years. 

 

We know our life is about to get turned upside down, but we are ready for y’all!  We love you boys to the moon and back and cannot wait for you two to complete our family.


Xoxo,

Mama

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
