My Baby Boy. Actually, my Middle Boy...

But hey!  Aren't all of our children our "babies" no matter where they fall into the birth order??!

I am writing this as an entry into our family diary which is what this blog becomes as soon as I publish it each year.  I want to mark this time in writing as a time in our lives where we all REALLY learn to appreciate family.  As I sit in a huge medical center area, we await a heart catheterization this morning......then admittance into hospital....then an open heart procedure done tomorrow.  We do know that my son will be getting the best care and that He will take care of him throughout.  As I've told my daughter in law one million times the last few days.....He will never give us more than we can handle.  Still hard.
And as all of you moms out there know, we would rather give ourselves up for anything than have our children have to go thru any type of suffering.  I crave the day when he is bitching about feeling so good and getting way too much rest!!!!  It will happen soon.  Very Soon.

I have so many pics to share and stories to tell and will have plenty of time in the next few weeks to do so.  Got new computer which, of course, has totally screwed my blog posting up......because I'm SUCH a techie that it takes me forever to figure the new one out.  And I can't wait to catch up with everyone else too.
Our Thanksgiving was awesome and I was gifted with another of my all time favorite pics that my Matthew takes for me every yr.  All of my lil boys in the duck blind, hunting with their father, and enjoying nature.  And each other.  Bonding at its finest!

The Small, Yet Very Important Things...

As the season of  family Good Times and being "thankful" is upon us, I reflect and appreciate.
Next week will be crazy and the days after Thanksgiving will be a blur, for my son is having heart surgery in a place far from home, and our only focus will be there. 
But when things go askew and the usual celebrations on the calendar become MUCH more important, it makes me stop....and be oh so thankful for the small things.
Like my husband, my boys, their wives and my grandchildren. And the dog, of course!

This pic was from '14 and missing a couple of babies that we didn't have yet back in '14 but I love it everso.  And THIS is what I will be thanking God for this year....
(and she says to herself.....MY GOSH, what a beautiful family!!)

It's That Time Again!!!!

All the kiddos will be gathering at the deer camp this weekend..........and I couldn't be happier!!
Kiddos = my boys, their wives and ALL MY GRANDCHILDREN!!!!!  It's been a while since we were all together at the same time so we just plan on chillin' and eatin' and laughin'!!
Oh......and also that little football game on Saturday night called ...  LSU VS ALABAMA!!!

When all the babies gather together, that means this:
dozens and dozens of YaYa's chocolate chip cookies.
Done and Done!!
