Hey! Just wanted to finally show you a picture of my new neice Taryn. She is 2 months old today. As you know, she came to us prematurely and spent a couple weeks at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, but she is doing great now! She weighs ten pounds and is absolutely the cutest baby! This was my family’s first Mother’s Day without our Mom Judy, so having Taryn with us was so helpful. Seeing this brand new life come to us when we so desperately needed something good, was a gift from God. Holding her in my arms for the first time was an incredible feeling and helped to fill the emptiness I have felt since the loss of my mama. While the pain is still there , precious little Taryn has definately helped to ease it.  I hope you had a Happy Mother’s Day. If you’re mother is still living I hope you got to spend some time with her, for those of you without Mom’s like me, I know when you saw the sun today you rejoiced, because you made it through. God Bless!  

I alswo wanted to share a picture of the view from atop Sugarloaf Mountain. My childhood home is at the bottom of this mountain. Behind the house is Poteau Mountain. I wish the sun had been shining when Kaitlyn and I drove to the top of it. Everything is so lush and green. It was quiet and peaceful up there. I wish we had mountains here!
