Friday Photo Flashback

My first three children were born very close together. Then there seemed to be a little breathing room before #4 and eventually #5 were born.

Having those three baby girls was so much fun but equally as much work......wow...those days were almost a blur!


This was one Sunday after church. They were sitting on the guest bed. I believe it was a weekend when their Mimi was visiting us. We were living in Georgia.



This was taken at our favorite Pumpkin Patch, just outside of Atlanta. We loved that place!!



And here was the first day of school 2004.

Tonight I'll take them all to basketball practice...they sure grow up fast!




Hope you guys have a great weekend!

Wow...I feel old.

Here is a picture of the girls when they were about 5, 4, 3 and 1.
This was on Easter morning. The ladies of my Sunday School class collected money for me (I was the Pastor's wife) to buy all us girls new Easter dresses. It was the first time and has been the only time all of us had new clothes to wear to church on Easter. Those ladies were such a blessing to me! (Some are reading this now.....thank you again!)



Now.....here's a picture I just took last week. The girls are now 10, 9, 8 and 5. (see why I feel old?!)






Hope you have a great weekend and Happy Valentines Day!
I've already received my gift! (My husband is never good at keeping surprises)

Friday Photo Flashback

Back when I used to could say, "The Girls" when I referred to my children.



Before our little terror boy entered our lives and changed the world as we knew it.



These were the days of sweet, pink, little girl loves.... I cherish those days.

While carrying our fifth child I no longer prayed for the birth of a son, but for a fifth daughter. It was easier that way and I thought it cruel to bring a boy into the family after having 4 girls.

Little did I know, it wouldn't be him that suffered, but his 4 older sisters!! He can take care of himself, that's for sure. He threw us all for a loop, but it's been an amazing ride!

So...for Friday Photo Flashback, I remember the days of bows, lace and princess parties.

Without the disturbance of a little brother bombing us with army men and sweet grins. ;)

I have wanted to participate in Friday Photo Flashback for quite a while now, but couldn't because all of my "pre-digital" photos were in the States. However, in a few days, my Uncle and Aunt will be visiting and bringing a few of my old pictures with them!! Yipee....now you get to see some pictures that will really make you laugh!

So for now, here is one from a few years ago. Not pre-digital, but a flashback none the less.

This is me with my African Grey parrot, Livingstone. He was named after the great missionary/explorer David Livingstone. I adored him so very much, but he was one of the precious belongings we had to leave when we moved to Portugal. He now has a home with a preacher friend of ours and is happy enjoying his life in Virginia.
