Hey Y'all! It's me, Tiffany!

I'm sure you've been wondering where I've been...somedays, I have too! The fact is, school's out, my husband took off the WHOLE Christmas vacation to spend with me and Reeser, and I've been taking advantage of having us all together as a family for this long! I could definately handle being independently wealthy so we could all stay home all day, everyday together!

Which, leads me to my next point....it's my 100th post! What a monumental occasion...well, not really, but kind of cool nonetheless!


I don't have any insightful words of wisdom, any great tips or advice, no great lessons learned over the holidays, but I do have some looking back to do over 2008. Take a stroll with me, if you will.....

February saw the First Birthday of our precious son, Kenny Reese. What a milestone! I look back at pictures from that time, and I see a kid about the same size (honestly guys, we've been hovering around the 20 pound mark since 9 months old! He currently weighs 22.), but, I see a kid who has grown and learned so much in just 8 short months. Reese knows his colors, some of his numbers, a few ABC's, and in just this last month started putting phrases and sentences together. It's amazing to see all he soaks up. He's such a studious little boy, taking in everything, really studying things, and always asking "arsh mamma?" (Reesey speak for 'what mamma?')

April gave Reese his first cousin, a precious little boy named Kenny Joe or at our house "JoJo". This bald headed little boy just melted my heart from the moment go. I was so very privilaged to be in the delivery room as he made his debut. My sister asked me to be there since she knew I would never get to experience childbirth of my own - so she gave me the next best thing - the birth of my nephew. I look at that little boy and I see the little sister I picked on for years...and just the other day I got to witness my son dragging JoJo by his feet, just like his mamma used to do to her sister!

Summer saw Reese's first two weekends away from mom and dad - he is such a big boy. Absolutely no tears, no whining, and always being a perfect gentleman. He's such a big boy! It also saw a trip to Sea World, swimming lessons, and lazy days with mom.

The start of this school year has been good - I can't believe I looked up and it was December. I have a great group of kids whom I adore and I told Garrett tonight I was excited to see them Tuesday!

I can only hope God blesses our family as much as He has in 2008.....
