- I am knee deep in baby blue and brown as I plan Myers' first birthday party. 1st birthday. I can't believe that he is almost one! He is not walking yet, but he is trying so hard. It won't be long. Myers loves to mimic his big brother. He wants everything Manning is playing with....I am sure that this is only the beginning. I love to see the love they share. On April 14th, Myers will officially be 1 and my momma will have been dead 5 years. In so many ways, it seems like I have been missing her forever, but then there are days I feel like she died just yesterday. As always, this is a hard time of year for me. However, seeing Myers and his smiling face makes the sadness of losing mom a little more tolerable.
- Manning is getting too big for his britches. Literally and figuratively. All of the sudden, he is growing so fast. I no longer have a baby faced two year old. But an almost 3 year old LITTLE BOY. He makes me laugh every single day. The things he knows blows me away. How did he get so smart?! Right now, he is very into "reading" his Bible. His favorite story is "Adam and Eve" because he sees their hineys in the picture! HAHA! He is also asking for a little sister with long, brown hair that looks like Jesus. He is particular with his taste. I guess it is good to know what you want!
- I am participating in 2 very different Bible studies right now. I love them both so much! God is really working in my heart and revealing some new ideas to me. One of the ladies that I attend Bible studies with advised me to start praying for my boys' future wives right now. Wives? My boys' wives? I can't even begin to wrap my little brain around that. I can barely deal with the fact that Manning will be going to 1st grade in 4 years. Don't get me wrong...I want my boys to grow up, get married, and have babies of their own. It is just so hard to think about the sweet little boys that hold my hand and my heart growing up and giving that same heart away! My friend described the relationship that she had with her mother-in-law as "just like Naomi and Ruth." I want this...with my mother-in-law and my future daughter-in-laws. So starting today, I am praying for the little girls out their that will one day marry my sons. I pray that God will guide and protect them. I pray for their salvation, their purity, and their maturing faith.
- Kevin wants a motorcycle. We will see. =)
That's how life is in the Hatchell home right now. Having fun, loving life, and growing closer to God everyday!
