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

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

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...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
