JUST ONE MORE DAY.............

Oh my goodness!! Tomorrow your big sister will be 7!!! I can't believe it!! She has gotten so tall over the last few months. In the pictures above one is current and the other is when she was 3 months old. You and her looked so much alike. You both had those chubby cheeks that I loved so much!!!

Please be close to your sister today and tomorrow. She needs to feel you close to her. Send her tons of love and angel hugs.

39 MONTHS

Yesterday you turned 39 months old. In reality you would be a little man but in my heart you are still that precious little boy with those chubby cheeks. And I think if you were still here I would have changed your indian name to Ki-yu-ga which means chipmunk instead of Ta-la-du. Don't ask me why though.

Your big sister is getting ready to turn 7 in a little over a week and I can't believe how time flies!

We love and miss you Cylas!!! We carry you forever in our hearts!!!

Love,
Mommy

38 MONTHS & ST. PATRICK'S DAY

SORRY I DIDN'T POST ANYTHING ON TUESDAY. BUT I HOPE THAT YOU KNOW YOU ARE NEVER TOO FAR FROM HEART AND SOUL. YOU ARE A PART OF ME AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE. MY MIND HAS BEEN SCATTERED THIS WEEK. I MEAN I EVEN THOUGHT MONDAY WAS ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT BUT THAT'S HOW MY WEEK'S BEEN.

I WANTED TO SAY HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!!! I HOPE YOU ARE DOING OK. YOU ARE LOVED AND MISSED BY ME AND YOUR SISTER'S. MISS PRISS CRIED FOR YOU THE OTHER DAY. SHE WAS FEELING BAD ABOUT YOU NOT BEING HERE FOR THE PICTURES WE GOT TAKEN ON SUNDAY. WE TOOK A SPECIAL PICTURE WITH THE GRAND BABIES AND SHE REALLY WANTED YOU HERE FOR THOSE. BUT YOU LEFT A GREAT REPLACEMENT! STRIPES IS VERY PHOTO GENETIC!!!! WE ALL MISS YOU NOT BEING HERE FOR CERTAIN THINGS. ITS JUST SO HARD KNOWING THAT WE WILL SEE YOU CHANGE OVER THE YEARS. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE YOU PLAY FOOTBALL OR WATCH YOU LEAVE FOR COLLEGE.

WE ARE MAKING IT. WE DO REALLY GOOD BUT WE ALL HAVE OUR MOMENTS. I WILL POST THE PICTURES AS SOON AS I GET THE CD. I WAS SUPPOSE TO PUT THE CHRISTMAS PICTURES ON HERE BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I DID WITH THE CD. HOPEFULLY IT WILL TURN UP AND THEN I CAN POST THEM.

CYLAS MOMMY LOVES YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!

A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHIN'

Hello Cylas,

Momma has apparently gotten lazy!! There is really no excuse except that I've been so very tired!!!! Since I've started taking CNA classes in January I've been dragging and having a hard time getting up in the morning time. So I have no motivation to do anything but sleep!! But I've got to keep thinking that I only have 8 more weeks of class left and I'll be done. I don't like having class so late at night because I miss time with your sisters but I also know that they are both well taken care of.

I'm getting ready to go to a new dentist and I'm a little nervous about that because Momma doesn't like going to the dentist. And it looks like 3 of my wisdom teeth need to come out and the last one could be saved but the tooth in front of it needs to be taken out. I am so not lookin' forward to that. But the dentist that I'm going to is a dentist that uses sedation and that is what I need because I get so nervous and scared. I go for a consultation this coming Tuesday in Asheville @ 2:40. Please stay close to your momma ok!!!

Other than the stuff I've mentioned there is not a whole lot going on. Your sisters are doing good. They are getting big and turning into some wonderful characters. They both talk about you from time to time. Last night Boss said that you were in heaven!! So she knows, not quite sure she understands just yet but at least she knows. I will be getting their pictures taken on Sunday and I can't wait. We will take Stripes to represent you. I also want to get a good "grand children" picture taken for your Nan and Pop. I want that one to be a surprise. I hope I can pull it off.

You are our angel and we carry you with us everywhere we go!!! Cylas we love you very much!!!

MOM
