More Mobile & a New "Do"

We always enjoy visiting Grammie's school when we go to Mobile. We see our cousins and lots of friends.


Molly with William at 2 months and 17 months. I babysat Molly, when she was William's age. Molly introduced me to "The Wiggles" eight years ago. I wasn't allowed to just watch, she made me dance with her. It was a workout! Now, Molly is running track and growing too fast! We also love the chance to see cousin Mimi's girls, Shelley & Lillian. We also visited with Lillian's sweet friend, Eugenia. Eugenia escorted Lillian to the office...she wasn't in trouble, but trouble came to town...WILLIAM!!!





And the haircut. Grammie & I cut William's hair while he was sleeping. He was long overdue for his 3rd haircut and I was trying to be frugal. I was nervous and got a little snip happy, but maybe next time will be better.

We said goodbye to Grammie, Admiral and Papa and headed back to the Plains with a new haircut and an overflowing heart. Our time with my grandparents and parents was so sweet. God has been so faithful to meet their every need. I'm not sure why we expect any different.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7


Happy 5th Birthday Sullivan!


Sullivan's birthday was February 13th. It's so hard to believe that Sullivan is already 5 years old! William was invited to help celebrate at Frog Leg's. We had so much fun. The boys were really sweet and helpful to William. Happy Birthday Sulli!!!










Be Mine For Breakfast!

We had a pajama playdate the day before Valentine's. It was
fun to stay in our pajamas and enjoy breakfast with friends!

Sweet Baby Kade

William's long awaited little buddy is finally here! Kade Jay Rollins was born on Valentine's Day! What a sweet present for Kevin & Tara. He is beautiful and has the prettiest hair! We drove over to Pensacola to meet him this morning. We are looking forward to many beach trips, football games and and special memories with Kade!

Papa Beasley

My Grandma's oldest brother, "Uncle Elmore," passed away last Monday. William & I are in Mobile helping my parents care for my Papa & Grandma. My Papa is 91 years old and is such an inspiration to me. My Grandma has Parkinson's and until recently, my Papa, has provided her total care for the past decade.

Bro. Steve always encourages us to find a "living" bible to follow, someone who lives out God's word in their daily life. My Papa has been my "living" bible for as long as I can remember. My Papa is a living testimony of God's faithfulness to those who trust in Him. They have experienced incredible physical and emotional suffering, but our family has rarely heard them complain. Their strength is in Him!



William thinks my Papa is really funny. He is right! William's mouth is full of butter cookies and smiles for Papa!

Eureka!


We are starting chores early around here. Everyone must earn their keep! William used to be terrified of the vacuum...now, he LOVES it! One day he was "fussing" me and I thought he wanted me to stop vacuuming (which would have suited me just fine except for the Teddy Grahams & Goldfish everywhere). Then I realized, WILLIAM wanted to vacuum! The vacuum motor will probably give out before William's interest does.

Clay & Mary Catherine

We headed to Ruston, Louisiana last weekend for Clay & Mary Catherine's wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and the bride was gorgeous! William LOVED the band. I wish we had some video to share, because William can cut a rug. He must get the moves from his Daddy!
Congratulations to the Forets!
