>Daddy’s Little Girls.

July 4th, 2009 by Aubri

Verna gave me a lot of pictures of little Philip while she was here. I couldn’t help but notice some similarities in our daughters and their daddy. Clara looked just like Phil at first, she seems to be changing some now, but that nose is definitely his and there’s something about that mouth too.



Then there is of course those eyes Lily has. Those are Phil’s for sure!



They could be twins!

——-

I have to throw a few extra pictures in here. Here’s Phil c. 1981-82 working away in the garden (and with the cane (?) he looks a little like “Benjamin Button” yes?) and pictured below c. 2008 working away in his garden. I guess he’s always had a little farmer in his blood.


I know all the hair hasn’t escaped anyone’s notice has it?

And this one is for all my Alabama relations. Phil was saying “Roll Tide” long before “Hook ‘Em Horns” or even “Go Big Red” (if he would ever say that and I’m not saying he does.)!

Clara.

July 3rd, 2009 by Aubri


Daddy and Mama have been blessed again with another miracle. God has given us another beautiful little girl, our Clara Emeline. We couldn’t wait to see you! Mama won’t forget the first time she spoke to you. How much you were crying when you came out of my tummy then how quiet you got as you listened to my voice telling you hello. We could finally see you and how much like your Daddy you looked! I see your dimpled cheek and hear your little monkey sounds and wait eagerly for your first laughs. You have forever changed our little family. We’re so happy you’re here.

"Busy"

July 3rd, 2009 by Aubri


I’m on my own now with our babies. Our moms left on Monday, now it’s all up to me (with Phil’s help) to figure out how to manage the house and take care of these girls! While we waited for Clara to get here, we heard a lot of “Oh, you’ll be busy” comments from people. I do get “busy” at times, but where were all the “Oh you’ll be tired, frustrated, frazzled scatterbrained, scared, confused, alone, bored, wondering if you’ll ever feel normal again, feeling fat, dumb and frumpy with a messy house” comments? No one ever said anything about those!
After just a week of this I feel a bit “burned out”. Like I need a two day “smoke break”. I’m sure you can blame most of that feeling on pesky post-partum baby blues and lack of sleep.But when I look at these beautiful and precious girls, I know that I am so blessed. Blessed to have been given these children, blessed that they (so far) have such (for the most part) happy natures, blessed that even though it can be one crying then the other or both at once, there typically is at least one time during the day that they are actually asleep at the same time and I can just sit on my own and drink a cup of coffee. I know these days when my girls are so little and helpless won’t last forever. I look forward to the days to come but I know that I’ll look back to this time with fondness and want it all back. I know that each day with them is a good gift, each has its laughs and of course tears. I have to take one day at a time and between the melt downs and screaming, I have to enjoy what I can out of them. My babies are changing everyday, leaving somethings behind that will be gone forever and taking on new things. I wouldn’t want to miss any of it.

I had to post this video I got last week, Lily giving Grandmere zerberts!

Lily loves giving Clara kisses.

I’m really missing “The Moms”!
