The Mothership

 I have a friend...whose birthday is today. She is one of the sweetest people God has put in my path. Everything she does, is intentional. The first memory I have of her is meeting her at church and her, at the time, two small boys were climbing the stairs...and she was managing them lovingly and yet she tells me she is a Small Group leader! In my mind I thought, " How in the world does she have time to be a LEADER of anything. " This was only a small glimpse of the heights that she and Grant reach to achieve. The next thing I knew she was inviting me in to her life ( sharing being pregnant with Ryan at only 7 weeks and showing me her pooch ), telling me she had dreams about me in the middle of the church hallways ( which might have involved me being a call-girl 😏), us sharing in our many intimate stories and needs for birth control... I'll leave it at that ...and from there it has exploded.  There are so many stories now, but I want to mention a few attributes of Sara...

Our little pumpkin made it...she made it a whole year! Some things we would like to note about Carolyn: she has THE BEST smile I have ever seen.  It can melt anyone's heart and is the culprit for some of her spoiled behavior. she is very advanced for her age;)  She can throw a tantrum like an 18 month old and has been walking/climbing for over a month now...we are such lucky parents! she LOVES her bottles and expensive formula...no signs of giving them up anytime soon (at least not nicely). loves to play with her brother loves to pinch loves to be outside was 19lbs. 12oz. at the doctor and 29inches long (all in the 50%ile) LOVES the library and books...can't get enough of them can't stop the dancing...she even goes up to the stereo and either tries to push the buttons on with her stubby little fingers or points and whines till we turn on the music is really good at playing hide and seek LOVES bread in any and all forms has 6 teeth sleeps a total of 15+ hours...
