Smith Children 2011

I now present to thee, darling reader, a few pictures of some of the cutest children in the whole world, Alan and Katie Smith's beloved progeny, Bret III, 4, Ronald, 3, Esther, almost 2, and Wallace, just now 8 months-what joy they bring to all their family! I had a blast taking pictures of them.

What a blessed Aunt I am-I woves dems!

Bret Alan III
Ronald Michael


Catherine Esther

Esther and Wallace Johnson
And wee Wallace! He's waving. :) (I'm sure. And don't you just love his hat!?)This one makes me laugh out loud.

The Four Little Smifies!
Ah, may God bless each of these little children...
As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth-how blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them~Praise the Lord!

Sleep well, dear reader! Hope you enjoyed these as much as I have. (Are they not scrumptious!? :) )

Ta~ta and Toodles! (as dear Grace would say)

Love,

Aunt Adeline

P.S. It turned cold here again! It's supposed to frost tonight.

Just a scribble...

...to say 'ello!

How are you?

We've been doing GREAT, just ginormously busy. :)

I have so much of precious life to post about, to write down...ah-how can a grandbaby be so cute? Or a peach blossom so incredibly prefect? And then, some things can't be captured in a picture, like the feeling that you get when a sister comes home for a visit, and you're all so happy to be together you all start crying...or the sound of an Uncle's laughter that you have missed so much that when you hear it again, you know if you can hear his laugh, that means everybody elses laugh is in their hearts, too, or spilling out to join his, and you can hardly wait to see all your family again...

The intense red of a ladybug on a bright green leaf, or a wide open blue sky with huge clouds piled up on one another like scoops of whipped cream....ah, so many wonderful things!!

But-anyway, I was thinking of all of y'all and wanted to hop on here and say hey before I scoot off to bed. Hopefully I'll shall see thee on the morrow!

Have a beautiful evening, Kind Reader...

Much love to thee!

Adeline Grace

It's a....

Our darlingest readers!! Hear ye hear ye!!

Kressy is home from the doctor, and we have seen the incredible sonogram pictures of their precious new baby!!!! Praise God. Babies are miracles! They are beautiful! Oh, just read the below scripture...After looking at the baby's pictures today, it was a special blessing to me when I read it this evening.

"O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

~Psalm 139

Ah, isn't that incredible!? Praise the Lord...

And now.

*drumroll, my sweets...*

It is a...

Girl!!! :D

Yahoooo!!!! We are all wildly excited over here, and can't stop laughing and rejoicing-just think-Michael Jr with a little girl!! And Kressy with a little cooking compainion and baby girl...that makes my heart happy. And Esther will have a girlie cousin to play dolls (properly :) with!

Ah. This is charming! My Auntie heart is so full.

The Lord is so good to bless Mike and Kress with another baby.

And we're also ecstatic about our dearest friends, the K.'s. who Kressy traveled with to the out-of-town office, who also found out what their sweet baby was today, too!! I'll let them share their own lovely news, but I thought I would paste on a few pictures of all of us, huddled around the two mommies, looking at the little Miss Morton and Little K.!! :D What joy to be together at such joyful times...

Kressy and Mrs. K.~ two beautiful mothers!!

Well, goodnight! Hope you have restful rest this evening. :) Oh, the moon is full tonight and it is breathtaking...

May tomorrow be filled with praise to the Lord for all He has done for us! I love you all! Ya'll are such a joy. :)

Hugs and 'tisses,

Aunt Ad-a-wine

Polls Opened!!

*read in a 1940's radio dj voice*

"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's a.....!!!

Well, that is the question of the hour-is Michael Jr. and Kressant's 4th little precious one a boy or a girl?

Dear people, in only a very short time, we will know whether or not this couple will enter the world of frills, giggles, pink socks and tender emotion,

OR

stay in the happy corral of all things blue, laughing, jumping and hilariously entertaining life of an all boy collection of progeny.

This Thursday, people, is the day we will all know.

The polls are opened. Cast your vote, and, if you are among the winners, your resume on baby gender guessing will improve, your names will be featured on this station, and you will have the pleasure of mumbling the much endeared phrase to yourself, "I knew it."

Guesses as of this moment are the following:
Samuel Morton-Boy

Jeanine Morton-Girl - an official Grand Mother guess!!
Martha Morton-Girl

Adeline Morton-Boy

John Morton-Girl

Edwin Morton-Boy

Paul Morton-Girl

Cleveland Morton-Boy

Katie Smith-Girl

Sarah K.-Girl

Daisy R.-Girl
Angela H.-Boy
Campbell R.-Girl
Michael Morton III-Boy - a biggest brother guess
Bret Smith III-Boy

Ronald Smith-Boy

And, last, but certainly not least, the mother of the child, Kressant Morton, believes she is expecting a boy.

Tune in on Thursday, February 17th, for more on this story."
