Awesome Autry's 7th Birthday...

February 18, 1999 at approximately 11:05 am, Autry Anson George slowly, but surely slipped into mine and his father's life!!! What a chore it was, but well worth every pain, contraction and breath I took!!! And this past weekend we celebrated his life here on earth for the 7th year. My cousin Pamela and I drove to Alabama to celebrate with him for the entire weekend. After all of the presents were opened and birthday cookie was ate, Pamela and I gathered all three boys and headed to the hotel we had booked. Auntie Pam got us a sweet deal on a 2 room suite with a fold out couch and kitchen for only $69!! SWEET!! We all had a great fun-filled time together. We took the boys to the mall and let them play on the indoor playground for a while and then we went to another mall so we could watch people ice skate!! Mr. Tristan said, "Mama, I want to ice skate." "But you don't know how," I said. "Yes I do!" he said. "Oh yea, and who said you did?", I said. "I DID!" : ) LOLOL My Tristan is so sweet!! I love you Tristan! And my Wyatt, well, he is such a lover. He is my lover boy for sure. If for any minute I sat down or laid down this past weekend, he was right there snuggling with me. : ) My Wyatt is a lover, not a fighter!! Now, Autry Man, he's my contemplator, my thinker, my observer...he likes everything in its place. He is alot like his Papa Reeves in that aspect. I see my Autry becoming an attorney...what'd ya think? He is doing very well in school and I am very proud of him. His favorite subjects are math and reading. He is very good at both. He's done very well as a first grader. He's so smart!!!
Outside of the terrible weather, we had a great time together for Autry's birthday. I miss them terribly, but starting in the spring, I am going to get to see them more often. Thanks you guys for a wonderful weekend. And thank you cousin Pamela for going with me...what a treat!
Here's to my 3 wonderful boys and of course, a nice, fresh, hot cup of coffee!!! I love you Autry, Wyatt and Tristan!!!!
Good Night All : ) Sherry

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling...Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

It's easier to build a child than repair an adult.

And remember, mistakes only become HUGE when we don't learn from them.

Thanks for stopping by for a bit of cafe wisdom...coffee anyone? Love, Sherry

Happy St. Valentine's Day.....

Roses are red, Violets are blue;
Autry, Wyatt and Tristan,
Mommy Loves You!!!!!!!!!!

I got the best Valentine ever this morning. I was able to tell the 3 loves of my life how much I love them this morning!! They were on their way to school with valentine cards in hand to give to all of their friends..."I have an apple for my teacher," Autry said. I bought them their cards just to help Eric out and to feel close to them since they are not nearby. They also received their Valentine gift from me...a box full of candy, plastic fish shapes full of bubble bath and fish shaped sponges for bath time, writing pads shaped like lions, tigers and bears; oh my, with pencils to match and of course a Valentine card for each. They loved it!!!! They will all have a party today at school and they are very excited!!!! What a nice surprise receiving the phone call from my boys 3, it made my day!!!! Thank You Eric for doing that...Happy Valentine's Day to you too. And Happy Valentine's Day to all who stop by my cafe....have a wonderful day and enjoy a cup of coffee!!!! With Love, Sherry
