EVERYBODY HAS TO READ THIS!

Randomly for the last 6 months... and EVERYDAY this week, Brian has sent me an email saying that he wants me to make our blog private. I tried ignoring him, deleting the email and playing dumb.....he's onto me.

He has wanted me to do it for a long time. I am just not a worrier about some wierdo getting onto the blog... and I love him. So, We are going private MARCH 1st.

And I know he will be so happy that I did it.

LEAVE YOUR EMAIL ON THE COMMENTS PAGE IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE READING OUR BLOG, OR SEND ME AN EMAIL.

Our address is jennieandbrian@sc.rr.com.

Carlisle Victoria...our heart...

Most likely to become a VETERINARIAN. She is our 8-year-old. She was born 11 months after her big sister that lives in heaven. She acts the part of 'Mommy', a bit, with her little sisters. She is an encourager to everyone around her and showers the people she loves, WITH LOVE. She has an amazingly and intensely-cool sense of style that would remind of the 80's. She is tender for her Jesus. And loves her Daddy. She already thinks it's fun that her Mommy teaches aerobics. She is incredibly feminine...but would rather go fishing, than play with dolls, anyday. She is the best eater of any child I've ever seen...onions cooked, or raw is her favorite. Milk? The only thing she doesn't like.

Evelyn Annette...our light...

Most likely to become HEAD CHEERLEADER. She is our 7 year-old and also our 3rd baby girl in 2 1/2 years. We call her 'Little Ol Ev!' There's a song that goes with the name too. She has more spunk in her small little frame than four normal children. Born 19 months after her older sister, she is funny and fun and just wants to be included. She is a dancer through and through. She laughs, ALWAYS. She absolutely unconditionally loves her family (especially her big sister). Her hair is stick straight, but even it has a little spunky something going on with it. She gives the BEST kisses and makes great eye contact. She is a textbook extravert. Oh, and the picky-est eater on the planet. She loves milk.

Brian....my strength...

This guy. Oh goodness. I am so madly in love. He gave his life to Jesus in 1999. And patiently waited to marry me until I did the same. He's smart. He's tall. He's extroverted. He's true. He's right. He's noble. And strong as a bull. With the physique of an Abercrombie model. He's the guy who stole my heart in Charleston, in college, all those years ago. He loves the Lord. Gentle enough to handle 4 little girls and one girly wife. What a HIGH calling. He loves to fish, but rarely gets to because he's always hanging out with us. He's so outnumbered with females…and sooo good at the job. He likes his coffee black and his food clean and organic. He is type A. He's a Jiu Jitsu champion, which means he could whoop a cheetah. But too humble to talk about it. He loves his family. And his family absolutely adores him. He is a servant leader and takes care of all these little ones so that together we can serve the Lord. He's WAY out of my league.

Me

I'm an extrovert who digs my husband in a big way. But, I love Jesus the most. I have an identical-twin-sister. I really enjoy things tidy and organized. I like Diet Dr Pepper. I never thought about being a Mother. (When Brian and I got married, I made him promise that we'd wait five years before we had the first one...and we were 4 months shy of our 5th anniversary when Grace was born.) I never like being alone. I love taking pictures. Especially of my family. I took a semester off college and worked at Disney World. I love getting (real) letters in the mailbox. I have a hard time always answering emails and voicemails on time. Brian sends me to the gym, if I am grumpy. I was a competitive swimmer and dancer growing up. I sing REALLY loud in the car if I like the music. I cry. Friends are very important to me. I used to be corporate-girl in Atlanta...I think I'll stick with being an aerobics instructor. It's one of the best jobs on the planet. Memorizing scripture is my heartbeat. God made me to be a wife and Mommy...He just knew it way before me...
