Meet My Rugrats!

My Oldest Son

James, I love you because of your free spirit and your ability to see a friend in everyone. My first son, my little NBA player who knows exactly what he is going to be when he "grows up"; the one who introduced me to motherhood and has been brightening my days with beautiful self-written poetry and children's stories. Your energy and determination to succeed at being the best at whatever you do makes me so proud to call you my son.

My Middle Son

Travis, I love you because of your gentle kindness, your strong sense of self, and your wonderful sense of humor. You think of others first and would go without in order to make the next person happy. My middle son who has brought God into our daily routine and provides us all with a nightly, and sometimes daily, reminder to "don't forget to say your prayers." I can only sit back and watch in awe at your ability to just be YOU no matter what others say. That makes me respect you so much and makes me so happy to call you my son.

My Youngest Son

T'Andre, I love you for your innocence, your unconditional love, and for the unity that you have brought to this family. As I look into those big, beautiful eyes each day, I wonder what adventures you have in store for us. My baby son, the way you greet me with hugs and kisses when I walk through that front door makes my heart leap with joy at the realization of how blessed I truly am to know you. That makes me so happy to call you my son.

Always pursue excellence, by any means necessary.
