Last weekend, I heard Townes and Scott talking and then all I heard was Townes crying. I thought, “what could have happened?” Townes came running – “Mama I am disappointed. I am disappointed.” I came to learn that Townes’ disappointment was due to decisions completely...
The summer and early fall months were full of activity, fun and so many words. It seems with each passing week, Townes’s vocabulary grows. We are practically having “mini” conversations now. One of my absolute favorite moment occurs when we change into his...
I’ve been remiss…I hope you can forgive me. I have forgotten, been reminded, forgotten again…I want to say LIFE (but really no excuses) so please accept my apologies. TOWNES’S RESULTS ARE NEGATIVE FOR REJECTION! Thank you as always for standing in the gap for us. I...
March has always been a month of anticipation – the one that follows the longest yet shortest month of the year, February. February tends to be bleak and dark with a side of rainy leaving in it’s a wake no vitamin D and an attitude of gloomy (well at least for me). By...
As we bring this year to a close, I first wanted to thank you for continuing to diligently follow along Townes’ story. He is the coolest kid I know and its my greatest honor to hang out with him every day. And oh boy, I am so thankful I like to learn because he...
So much life has happened since my last update – life lived, some good and some sad. First, we moved! Just down the street but moving with a baby is not for the faint of heart, whew. Townes adjusted marvelously. As the home was under renovation, we took him by, so he...
Almost two years ago we did this thing…we plotted and conspired. Scott even committed to doing something I thought wasn’t possible; I mean cows would fly before he would actually…. We competed in a sprint triathlon – together. Well, kinda, we were on teams. Scott...
In some ways it feels like just yesterday, I was sitting here writing a Memorial Day post and update on Townes. The good news about it feeling like yesterday is that I remember it, which means I had come out of the “fog.” I have friends that always...
Leading up to today it was almost impossible to not think of last year. To remember our miracle and to rejoice in it. Not just the miracle of Townes’ receiving health, wholeness and life but also the miracle of our answered prayer to be home by Easter. There was a...
This past weekend I was walking by a park near my house with Townes and I felt so overcome with excitement when I passed the basketball and tennis courts. Strange, I know, but the courts were filled with young men playing pickup games and people playing tennis. My...
366 days… If you were wondering that is 1 more day than normal, because yes, 2020 included Leap Year. It had everything else so why not Leap Year too!? My son is 12 months old. We have officially celebrated him achieving the milestone of a “Brave ONE”…Lion themed, of...
Can you believe Christmas is just days away? In some ways NO and in others, has this year been filled with twice as many months? Seriously. We received the funniest Christmas card this week, I mean I was in stitches and the clever sender took a picture of her...
