Wyatt's Words

Two things he said recently that really captured my attention and my heart.

1. He was playing with his manger people again. He was Gabriel and he asked me to be Mary. And these are the words that were exchanged.

W (Gabriel) - Hey Mary. You're going to have a son.

S (Mary) - Oh Wow. This is wonderful. What will his name be?

W (Gabriel) - Jesus.

S (Mary) - Oh this is wonderful.

W (Gabriel) - Yay Jesus! Now do you want to come to my house and jump around?

2. The other night we had an opportunity to feed a homeless man (in the Bojangles drive thru). Afterwards Wes asked Wyatt a few questions and this is how those words went...

Wes - If someone is hungry, what do we give them?

Wyatt - some food

Wes - If someone is thirsty, what do we give them?

Wyatt - some milk and some apple juice

Wes - If someone is cold what do we give them?

Wyatt - a sweater

Wes - If its raining, what can we give someone?

Wyatt - a raincoat...and a rainbow.

something new.

something fun.

Time for a Pumpkin

so after being homebound (due to sickness) for a week, we decided to go to the Farmer's Market and get a pumpkin. Wyatt even decided to dress himself - and splash in a puddle before we got into the car - Walker enjoyed watching his big brother find the right pumpkin - Wes took lots of pictures - and I just embraced getting OUT.

We were literally the LAST customers. There was one stand opened. And even they were packing up their register. Very patiently and generously, they watched us look through (frantically) all the pumpkins. The nice "farmer" asked Wyatt if he'd be willing to trade him (the farmer) his baby brother for a pumpkin.

Wyatt kindly responded: "yes"

All in all, we came home with 4 pumpkins.

1 for Daddy

1 for Mommy

1 for Wyatt

1 for Walker

They have now taken up residence on our front porch.

Walker, Oh How I Enjoy You...

your kisses...


your smiles...


your cuddles...


and your snuggles...

Rory's Wedding

My cousin, Rory Bigger recently got married. So we all went up to Pittsburgh, PA and joined the family for all the wedding festivities. It was really fun - we all got hotel rooms next to each other - a rental car - airplane trips - fast walks through the airport - the whole travel deal (can you tell I don't get to do this often - and I LOVE it)

Walker went with us and really enjoyed himself - except at night, when he forgot to sleep!


The night before the wedding - Wes stayed back in our room with Wyatt to help get that much needed sleep.


And Walker had a new bath experience!


The girls and Dad and Thomas all went over to my aunts for refreshments.


Kayne and Thomas - the picture that made it to Kayne's blog!


At the wedding - I think my Dad is so handsome! Mom - looks beautiful - she just doesn't know how much the camera loves her!


Dad - doing the Y-M-C-A

What a great time it was, as always to get together with the Bigger family. They are a truly wonderful bunch. Oh how I look forward to time again with them.
