Happy BDay Mama!

I think Daddy is licking his finger in anticipation of her dessert!

It's impossible to get a sensible picture in this family!

Vivi with her Nanny Goat!

Surely one of the best days in the history of the world was the day my sweet Mama was born! February 2 we celebrated yet another year of this extraordinary woman. For those of you who don't know much about my Mama allow me to explain. My mother was raised in a small town called Starks, La she is one of six living siblings. On her senior trip her group passed through Arkansas, Mama remembers saying, "I want to live here one day." Well lo and behold she was at a church meeting when the bus driver from a visiting church (which happened to be in Arkansas) caught her eye, this gentleman happens to be my Daddy! Now you would think living eight hours apart would lead to a more lengthy courtship (remember this was before cell phones and email and neither probably had a home phone back then!) however they met and married in two weeks time! Daddy tells the story of driving home, only to get home take a shower turn around and head back, she must have been pretty irresistible! That story in itself is pretty remarkable however if you add to the mix that she left her family and church family and moved eight hours away, married to a man that had five children full time at age twenty two it becomes almost unbelievable story! Plus they added two more kids to the mix! I know it couldn't have been easy but you ALWAYS made it fun! Love you bunches DillyMama hope this is your best year ever!
