My mom gave me this website about 1 month ago and we got to see the pictures of the girls. Of course they were so small that it was a little scary! I went to Chattanooga this past weekend for a quick visit and got to thinking about you guys, so I had to call her today to get the web address again (couldnt remember from before). Lauren was here today and we looked at all the pictures again. I could really tell a big difference! They both look so much bigger, even though they are still small. I just realized you could get on here and reply, so I am just saying Hi! You must be exhaused, but doing a great job with them. Love, Priscilla Lamkin
Hi MJ and J. I know this is a long comment. Sorry! I know you are so exhausted at this point. Welcome to parenthood! We have experienced many joys in parenting our three children (your little cousins). But I can tell you that as Tiffy is approaching her 12th b'day, it passes all too quickly. Right now, I look my daughter directly in the eyes when we are standing face to face. I took her shoe shopping last week and was shocked to discover that she now wears the same size as me. I couldn't help but think back to the days when she played dress-up in my closest. Like all little girls, she wanted to fit in my shoes. Now she actually does, which I really wasn't prepared for. No matter how tall she gets, when I look at her I still see my "baby". Tomorrow will be Uncle Bob and my 14th wedding anniversary and I can still recall you (MJ) and Mark trashing our car at our reception. Do you remember the scene in the movie "Fatherhood", when the dad glances across the table and his daughter tells him she's getting married..... you know he still envisions his little girl in pig-tails. Well, now I look at you (MJ) and see a beautiful young woman. Once, you were like that little girl whose now all grown up. You are a mom, like me! You're not just our little neice. Now you have give us 2 great neices, and we have you-our first little princess! We are so proud of you! You have grown into the most wonderful mom and you have a great partner to make many memories in the present and future. Just remember to savor every moment. Make memories every opportunity that God gives you. God entrusts us with these precious gifts from above for only a season. I know that you and Jason will take your heavenly responsibility seriously and train Em-J and Baby P (sorry, that's what our kids nick-named the girls) in the ways of our Lord. You all are vigilantly in the prayers of Tiffy, Hay-J and Boo-boo, as well as Uncle Bob and mine. We love you all so much and give our Lord all the praise from whom much blessings come! He has truly blessed our family. We miss you and send our love, thoughts and prayers to you! See you soon! Hugs and kisses XOXO
I just read my comments and made a few errors! Sorry. I taught all day, then I coached cheerleading until 6:00. After dinner, I assisted 3 kids with homework, fed them, and bathed them. Then we did devotions and prayers. That leaves me running pretty much on empty. I really write better when I am not so tired. I think I will save doing report cards for tomorrow! Ha. Love you! Ang
What? no big post about the awesome shower that Mary Jane's beautiful friends threw for her yesterday? I (as an unbiased observer) am shocked! J/K...hope the fabulous Broge foursome is doing well! I can't wait to see those beautiful little faces again soon (and it would be nice to see you and Mary Jane also).
