Happy Birthday Kelli & Kevin

No one can count on the future
or know what they someday might do,
But could I have chosen the "twins" that I wanted,
the ones I'd have picked would have been you.
I'd have wished for your great sense of humor
and dreamed of your spirit and style.
I'd have hoped for your love and affection,
imagined the joy in your smile...
Life holds some gifts and surprises,
and one of the best there could be
is having "twins" who's exactly the ones
who's already been given to me.

It seems like yesterday the dr. said "twins". As you grew up, started school, made friends, participated in sports, went to college,and now are adults, my heart overflows with pride and love for you. Dad & I love you very much and hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Just thinking.

Did I text or email you and you didn't answer? Did you text or email me and I didn't answer?

We live in a society of faceless conversations. We send messages through Facebook or MySpace, email or text. When was the last time, you picked up the phone and called? When was the last time you actually visited?

Why is it that people are to busy to sit on the front porch and have a glass of ice tea and talk face to face? & not keep looking at your watch as if you have something more important to do.

Where did our sense of being together and enjoying listening to the birds and the kids play go?

Are we to busy? Are we uncaring? Are we rude? Do we think it doesn't matter?

Have we lost our values? Have we lost our manners?

You tell me.

Because it matters to me.

Happy Birthday Peanut



She's a whole lot of sunshine,
She's a smile to brighten our days,
She has stolen our heart and will
keep it,with her warm and playful ways,
She's our precious granddaughter,
With a sweetness from above
Who will fill our years with laughter
and our lives with lots of love

Happy 4th Birthday!!
Have a fun day!
We love you!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Sweet Delia




We sing Happy Birthday
You play midst wrap and bows
We marvel how you touched our lives
Just two years ago

I remember the first time I held you,
Kissed your head, whispered your name.
You've changed our lives forever,
Our hearts will never be the same.

As a child you'll love this day,
For all the sweets and presents too.
As grandparents we'll love your day,
For the gift we got was you.

Each year we'll add another candle,
So proud to see you grow.
But always with the memory,
Of your first day long ago.


Happy Birthday!!
May your day be as special as you are to us.
Love you,
GiGi and Papaw
