HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA & MOM!

Paying tribute to the most amazing Mom and Nana on her birthday. We love you so much... and feel your love for us. We love visiting your house in Dalton, but especially love when you come and visit us, and we get one-on-one time with you! Some of our recent favorites:
  • Love that you will "let loose" with your kids! Had so much fun with you in Vegas for "Girls Week"!
  • Loved having you in St. Louis for the birth of our 3rd baby boy, Beckett. You have always been so loving and helpful during your baby visits each time, but I loved have you there to comfort me, and share in this experience with me. I HATE this picture of me, but love it of you, and how it shows your love and concern for me!

  • Cooper LOVES his Nana! He loves that you will play baseball with him. He loves Nana Sandwiches! :)

  • Gunner loved the time we had to play before Beckett came. He loved the zoo, and bowling at America's Incredible Pizza Co. You are so sweet to make sure each of your grandchildren feel special and loved. 

  • How neat that Beckett will always know you were there to welcome him in to this world! Love that he was named after your Dad, Leo, and hope he can learn all the amazing qualities you learned from him as well!

Happy Birthday! Wish we were there to help celebrate with you, and can't wait to see you again!
