End of an Era


Seven years ago, Jill came up to my mom at school and said, "I want someone just like your daughter to watch my baby.  Does she have any friends that might be able to do it?"  Upon hearing this, I said, "Oh my gosh!  Tell her I'd be honored!"  And that's how it all began...

Colin starts full time kindergarten next year, and I'll be an "empty nester".  I am so thankful to Jill and Kevin for sharing these boys with me.  I don't think my girls remember a time when Colin and Grady weren't a part of the family.  They'll always be our little brothers!  Believe it or not, this probably isn't even half of the pictures I've taken over the years.  I've gotten a little emotional looking through the albums.  If you really want to get a good case of the feels, cue up Forrest Gump-Feather Theme.  (My life is a soundtrack.)



Grady loves the camera about as much as James...
Of course, I had to have a little cruel fun along the way. HeHeHe.
 Along came Colin...






 Colin always loved cuddling with his Roo...no matter how sick she was.

 I love everything about this!
Morning sunshine 


 After my blood clot debacle, I spent a lot of days just like this with my Colin.

 "Building a fire"








 Yup...this is pretty accurate.
 Quality childcare right there...





"Bend over and cough" Seems legit.
 One of my favorite stories...they were sitting here playing the rhyming game.  Someone says a word, and you think of a word that rhymes with it.  Anna says, "corn" and without missing a beat Colin yells, "PORN!"  I had to leave the room and cry-laugh.  Anna was all, "That's not even a word."  Let's keep it innocent like that forever!



 Just a couple of dudes chillin'
