Auntie, Auntie

Auntie, Auntie

Explaining the bond between Gabby and April would be about as easie as jump starting a 747 with a gazoo. They shop together, try on clothes, chat on the way home from school, and auntie knows she’s always on the hook for whatever Gabby can throw her way (that’s alot). Gabby and April have this, understanding. It’s not spoken. It goes beyond promises and presents. Now that Gabby is talking more and … Read entire article »

Oh, So Fast

Oh, So Fast

Gabby left an era behind her today that none of us get to repeat. She will never be one again. I have to admit, over the last two years and nine months, this little lady has completely changed everything about me. For the better of course. I’m sure my parents are glad…payback and all. Looking around I notice that alot of my closest friends are going through the same thing. I … Read entire article »

Halloween is Just Around the Corner

Halloween is Just Around the Corner

Halloween is just around the corner. That can mean only one thing…Gabby’s birthday is even closer! We’ve dusted off the old Halloween decorations and we came to a conclusion about the whole mess. We don’t have very many decorations this year. So, thanks to those of you who have donated (you know who you are). I can’t wait for the little faces to show up this year. Gabby will actually know … Read entire article »

What Else Can You Say?

What Else Can You Say?

Awe….Bless her heart…She’s so beautiful. Poor Zoey. She’s had it rough for the last week. No jumping, no spazing (yeah right). It got me thinking… No matter what happens to you, you are still the same. Sure, we grow or digress, but we essentially stay the same. She still jumps and spazzes and there is just no way to stop her from singing out loud when she hears a siren. That could … Read entire article »

Secret Places

Secret Places

It’s those secret places we find that live on in our memories for ever. Gabby and I trekked out on a whim this morning to a local community park. Little did we know that we would find such a gem tucked away in the woods a little off the beaten path. We would love to tell you where it is, but that would spoil the secret. Right? Well, maybe we will invite you on a picnic … Read entire article »

The Man, The Myth…The Legend

The Man, The Myth…The Legend

What a great weekend. It was good to see my old friend Swee. It was also good to see his little boy. I mean, his “minnie Me”. Kelby and Gabby got along great. Kids adjust to situations better than we give ‘em credit for. Gabby was very shy at first. We finally broke the ice between the two of them with a common thread amongst kids under age five…DVDs. For some … Read entire article »

Long Gone

Long Gone

Today was like any other normal day. We get up, get gabby ready, get ourselves ready, feed the dogs, and rush off to work and school leaving “the boys” behind. Butler and Chase, the dynamic duo. Butler and Chase have both adjusted differently to the move to Grovetown. Chase is still “dealing with issues” from when I was working in Atlanta for six months. He seems sort of…lost. The combonation of that with us moving … Read entire article »

Going Home

Going Home

For those of us that uproot ourselves and find a new place our home. Going Home-Home can conjure up all kinds of feelings. Excitement, Nostalgia, and homesickness. Five years ago, I left the only home I have ever really known, Valdosta, and took root in Augusta, GA. I left behind my family, friends, as well as a number of other firsts in my life. Among them my first home, first car, first school, to name a … Read entire article »

Change Is Good

Change Is Good

Change is good. All kinds of change. Drive a differrent way to work. Buy a cup of coffee from a different coffee shop. Matter of fact, use the left over change in your car to by a lottery ticket. It may not sound like that much of a difference, but even little changes are good. Break your routine and live a little. Sure, there’s comfort in knowing what’s coming around the next bend. But then … Read entire article »
