Dear Addilyn,
Today..............
Daddy woke me up at 6:30 to iron his clothes for a prayer breakfast
I cooked you some bacon
Daddy came home
We all went to Little Rock to buy Daddy a crappie pole
Then went to Conway Farm and Home to buy Daddy some Muck boots
Came home and you rode your 4 wheeler
Daddy hauled off a dead chicken and killed a cat
We walked to Grandma Teen's and took her some meatball and pear perserves
Came home, you and Daddy took a nap while Momma went and met "Mckmama"
Learned about Xygular
Went and bought groceries at Wal-Mart
Unloaded groceries then we all went fishing with the family
Came back to Mawmaw and Papa's house
Ate some ugly looking but great tasting deer sausage
I went to Kim's and picked up your yardsale clothes she had bought
You bit Samuel, I spanked you
You hugged him and said you were sorry
We came home
I cooked mexican chicken for Sunday's lunch
Did laundry
We all bathed and now.....
I'm pooped!!!
Love you,
Momma

The Eve of School
Dear Addilyn,
It's 10:56pm on Sunday night before the first day of school. My emotions are strong. Much better than this time last year because you were about to go to daycare for the very first time. I was a nervous wreck. But now it's a year later and I know you enjoy school and my only worry is you biting other kids!! Please stop that! However, tonight I'm sad for another reason.........I miss your cousins. We got to see them Saturday while we were fishing but not for long. My heart aches to spend time with them. I don't really know how to put it into words so I'll not even attempt but God knows..... I always (well except for when you fall alseep watching Barnyard as of late) sing "What A Day That Will Be" to you while you fall asleep.
"There is coming day. When no heartaches shall come. No more clouds in the sky. No more tears to dim the eye. All is peace, forever more, on that happy, golden shore. What a day, glorious day, that will be."
Then it says.....
"There'll be no sorrow there. No more burdens to bear. No more sickness no pain. No more parting over there. And forever I will be, with the One who died for me. What a day, glorious day, that will be.
What a day that will be. When my Jesus I shall see. And Iook upon His face. The One who saved me by His grace. When He takes me by the hand. And leads me through the promise land. What a day, glorious day, that will be."
Sometimes when I sing this I think about fiances......I won't have to worry about finances anymore. No more credit card bills, or doctor bills. Sometimes I've thought about sickness and surgeries. You and I have both had surgery this year. There'll be no iv's or recovery rooms in Heaven. Sometimes I just think about strolling down the street of gold...no alarm clark, no schedule, no waiting for 5 o'clock to get here so I can rush home to see you........but tonight when I was singing I had another burden on my mind. Three actually. :) I long for that day when we can lay those burdens at the foot of Jesus, worship Him, and stroll down the golden avenue. I think about Preacher Teel. One time I heard that he said when he gets to Heaven he wants to sit down on a hillside with Jesus and talk. How simple. How humbling. How totally "burden lifting" would/will that be........to hunker down on a hillside and talk with the Almighty. I can't wait. And you know what? We'll be there for eternity!!!!! Forever and ever. No more feeling like it's the night before school starts and I didn't even get to do this or that. No more Mondays....everyday a weekend. I don't think the Bible says that but that's what it will feel like to me. I feel better already! I guess I will lay down next to you now and try to get some sleep. Tomorrow is the first day of school......
Love you, Momma
UPDATE....Preacher Teel, age 95, a man of God, passed away on October 23, 2012. I attended his funeral last Friday. I kept thinking about him sitting on that hillside talking with Jesus. Made me cry and smile at the same time.

21 Months Old
Dear Addilyn, You will be 21 months old on Wednesday, Momma and Daddy's 4th Anniversary. Here's what you've been up to....
* you recognize dogs and say "dog" I think you really like them, too bad you are allergic
* you say "no no no" alot. Probably because you hear it alot. This morning you were walking by the tomatoe plants and you pointed and said "no no no". Ha! Think I finally have you broke from picking Momma's tomatoes.
* Daddy and I bought you your 1st baby doll Friday night at Wal-Mart. You loved on it while riding in the cart but came home and stood on it's head. Good thing you're not getting a baby brother/sister now.
* You love to sing childrens songs. You do the hand motions to Deep and Wide, If You're Happy and You Know It, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and march to others.
* You love to read books and act like you're talking on the phone.
* For about a month now you've been throwing small fits. When you get mad you plop down on your stomach and cry. I just ignore it. That maybe good or bad who knows. I just don't make a big deal and it only last a few seconds.
* Oh yea, last week you blacked my eye. Seriously. I was rocking you and you were wallering around and hit my eye with your steele head. OUCH!
* You've been doing good in the church nursery. Yesterday you stayed all morning and all night. Now that you're finally used to it it's nearly time to move up. You'll be going to the 2 yr old class a little early.
* You still adore Seth. You like all the cousins but are crazy about Seth. It's cute.
* Oh and a big one- recently you slept for 5 nights in a row without waking up. We were on a GREAT streak. Last night you were up from 12:30 to 1:30. Streak is over. Oh well.
* Another biggie- you've been off the bottle for 3 and a half weeks. Now you won't drink milk at all. The other night we fixed you a bottle just to see if you'd drink it and you made an ugly face and said "no". :( I'll never have another baby on a bottle. Boo.
* You can say "PeeBoo" which is Peek A Boo
*Also the last couple of times we have visited Grandma Teen you have wanted her to hold you. So sweet.
Momma loves you!!
