Austin Dale


What do you say about this boy other than he is all boy. Austin Dale has brought new meaning to being a boy for this mama. He's tough. He is noisy. He's dangerous. He is gross. He is simple in his likes. He is particular with, well, not much. He is go with the flow. He is dirty. He stinks at the end of each day if not sooner. He talks with a rasp intentionally. But. He is sweet. He's gentle. He loves to cuddle. He is protective. He admires his sissy. He loves his daddy. He prays each day. He can sing Let It Go and Do You Wanna Build A Snowman. His smile will melt your heart. I love you, son. You are amazing.

I love that face. That excited, joyful, are you serious? face. She happens to be looking at her daddy in that picture. He gets those looks quite often if I'm truthful. She adores him and he adores her. Courtney turned seven the other day and we are beside ourselves. People tell you often that it goes fast but you don't ever really listen, do you? Seven years I have been blessed to be her mama. Seven years I have stayed home raising her each day. Some days good, some days bad, some days memorable, some days hoping to forget, some days just days but not one day would I trade for the world. Not one single day with this little girl would I give up for anything. She is amazing. She makes me laugh. She makes me smile when no one else can. She makes me so mad I yell then hugs me tighter than ever five minutes later. She adores her little brother. She is smart. She is funny in a box waiting to explode. She is loud. She is adventurous. She is not afraid to try anything, except new foods. She says I am a good mommy when I feel like a complete failure. She loves God and wants to see me in heaven one day. She is truly a blessing from above that I am quite thankful for. I sure do love you, little miss.
