Throwback Thursday: Happy Birthday, Peter!

Who knew that 42 years ago, this little tiny baby would grow up to be such

an amazing husband and father? 

Family Friday: Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

The Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Movement began in the United States in 1987. On October 25, 1988, American President Ronald Reagan designated the entire month of October 1988 as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month  (For more information)

Not every one knows...it's not common knowledge, but we have had several pregnancy losses. A set of twins and several singletons. The pain goes away over time...but there are times I feel the loss.

If you have suffered loss this way...you are not alone!

God bless,
Heidi

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Day...

Dear Family and Friends,

Do you remember when we had a couple of sets of twins back in 2016? The following post was written when we had a set that I like to call M&M's. They were an adorable pair that laughed a lot and went through a TON of diapers.

Thanksgiving with M&M

It's kind of nice to currently only have one baby (at the time of this writing) and get a bit more sleep, I have to admit!

Take a step back a couple years and see what a day in the life of a foster mom with twin babies was like. It was a Crazy Day!!

May God Bless Your Day,

Heidi

Throw Back Thursday- April 6th, 2005

I wrote the following blog post 13 years ago! 

So hard to believe the time has gone by so fast!

I hope you enjoy reading what our little girls were doing

when they were newborn, eighteen months, 3 years old and 5 years old!

Blast From The Crazy Past- Sis' Sayings

Some fun things that Sis said at 2 years old around Christmas time:






*We were at my friend Tanya's house. Tanya just had twin baby girls. Sis wanted to hold one of the babies. So I sat her on the couch. She sat so still and was very gentle. Then George tried to touch the baby and Sis immediately said, "Sop it! Don't toucha baby han'!!!"

You would have thought that George was filthy or something! Then I asked if Mac could hold the baby, she pointed at the other baby and said, "Dat baby..." Apparently she has a thing for babies...



*Last night I was TRYING to pray in the pew after church. Shells was crawling up and down the pew while Sis just kinda stood there watching her. Finally Sis walked over to me and said, "Dat baby too funny, Momma."






Sis and Shells about the same time...




Till next time...


Have a blessed day and embrace the craziness in your life!

Dear To My Heart....Fostering...

This week we found out that the twins we currently have will be moving on to be with family.

Blast From The Crazy Past- I Am From...

I Am From…(Originally posted in 2008)
By Heidi

I am from farmland, long country roads and beautiful starry nights…

From Cabbage Patch, Care Bears and Rainbow Bright…

I am from the one-store town, friendly outgoing people and Brownie Troops…

I am from tall grass, the soft summer breezes blowing the fresh smells of hay and cow poop…

I am from camping trips and prayer warriors, from Great-Great Grandma Joli, Aunt Blanche and Great-Grandma Henderson…

I am from a warm, loving family, a younger brother who was always my protector and six sets of grandparents who were all biological…

From "if you cross your eyes, they're gonna stick", "pick up your feet" and "suck in your stomach"…

I am from the Old Time Gospel, prayer meetings that lasted forever, foot washin' and song-singin', parents who prayed long into the night, and pastors, teachers and family members who prayed for me…

I am from Southern _____ , Ancestors who traveled across the sea, Indians who freely roamed and Sparring nations…

From beans, corn bread and butter n sugar sandwiches…

I am from watching my grandpa die from cancer, the great-grandpa who said,"Don't fall down, fall up!" and praying my relatives would stop smoking so they wouldn't die like my other grandpa…

I am from albums jam-packed with photos, countless hours listening to stories at family gatherings, silent movies and slide shows…

Mainly I am from a wonderfully blessed family, full of God's love… 

From blessings uncountable, healings thought impossible and lives Saved…

Because of Him…I can be "From"…

Someone Dear To My Heart....

I met this person 20 years ago......no....no....the VERY first memory I have of him was when I was 13 years old.

EEK.....

I. Am. So. Excited!!!

Blast From The Crazy Past (TBT) - Cutie Patooties

Before I started this blog back on February 27, 2011, I had had a couple blogs before. One was called luvmymunchkinz on Xanga and the other.....I can't remember. 
(Someday I will remember and I will update this.)

Anyway...if you look at my past blog posts you will see that I did several posts dating back to 2005 called "Blast From The Crazy Past" in which I posted old blog posts from old blogs. One to keep the memories, two for posterity's sake and three to combine things into one spot.

Today, I decided to go check out my old Xanga account so that possibly I could do some more Blast From The Crazy Past posts like this one for future posts. Do I have you confused yet???? No?? Rats.

I found some photos that tickled me and I thought I would share them. Let's see if you know who anyone in this picture is:

Recognize these kiddos and the handsome man??

Here are a couple more:

So...as you can see, I found pictures...hoping I can open old posts. Xanga has changed a bunch of things and while they say they still have my old posts, I have to figure out how to get to them. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane! 

Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out what happened to my babies!

Numbers 6:24-26

Where To Go From Here....

I'll be honest...I really haven't known where to go with this blog. I had numerous family members and friends let me know over the past couple years that they missed my blog and wanted me to write again...

So I did. On October 9, 2016, I got back on the band wagon and was really excited to do it!

However...
