I HAVE A NEW NAME

 It was only 48 hours ago that Willow officially joined our family and I am already completed smitten with this little lady. Words just don’t seem to express how I feel. This is going to be fun!

I’m a grandma!

Chris and I picked out our grandparent names 

Mimi and Pops

Truth is, when Willow starts talking I guess that’s when we will truly know our names, oldest grandbaby gets to name their grandparents, that seems very full circle

Here she is…



Emma was a warrior and 
Joe was her rock
I had the privilege of spending the entire day of labor in the room with emma and joe. At 12:15am when it was finally time to push, I went home. I was expecting  2-4 hours before I would hear the big news. Turns out Willow was born at 1:01am
I feel so honored that Emma wanted me with her. I will forever hold that day close to my heart. I’m so proud of Em, she was amazing!

Senior Day Husker style

 



How has four years flown by so quickly? 
Selfishly, I want one more year of you representing the scarlet and cream. This hasn’t been the senior year we all hoped for but one day we will look back on this season and see how you have grown and we all will understand the blessing of these challenges. 
Your decorated locker

Swifty Birthday …22


Happy Birthday Reagan!!

This year has certainly had its ups and downs. It seems like so much has changed from last year at this time. Yet you continue to press forward, making a mark for yourself. You are a young woman who believes with conviction, loves with your whole heart and leads with passion. Stay strong and always draw near to Jesus. 

Dad and I were glad that everyone could carve out a couple hours to have dinner to celebrate you. I hope you enjoyed your decorated car, it was done out of love in the dark of the night. 

I know I tell you this all the time and I will continue to do so, I love you today, tomorrow and forever.
”I’ll love you forever and always” 
When life is good or when challenges present themselves, we will be here for you. You are never too old or too far away to lean on mom and dad. 
Happy 22nd Birthday!
