Although all of the events were amazing , my favorite
one had to be the Cornhole Baseball Tournament . Not only was planning it an absolute blast , but to watch all of the seniors come together and compete was the icing on the cake . During the planning stages , Stephanie and I went to each center to show them how the tournament would be orchestrated . Each time we went to a center , we got to play with them some and boy did we get whooped !
In late March 2020 , my husband , DJ , and I found out our little family was growing , and we couldn ’ t have been more excited . It wasn ’ t long after that we learned Baby King was a precious baby boy . DJ would be proud to tell you that he guessed right . On Tuesday , Dec . 6 , 2022 , something just didn ’ t feel right , so my doctor sent us on down to the hospital where we eagerly waited for the moment to meet our boy . On Dec . 7 , at 4:08 p . m ., James Weston King blessed us with his appearance . He was a healthy boy weighing eight pounds and 20-inches long . Throughout my entire pregnancy I was told , “ You think you love your baby �������������������������������������������������������� were they right . I didn ’ t think I could love someone so
Prior to Weston ’ s arrival , DJ and I did not think it would be possible for me to be a stay-at-home mom “ But God ”: Those are my favorite words , because right after those words describes what only He can do ! It just goes to show that God is always working on our behalf even if we can ’ t see it sometimes . Although I loved my job at Commission on Aging , I know my No . 1 job is to be a mother to my precious Weston . He is changing every day , and I love watching him accomplish new things . His favorite toy is his little blue penguin that rattles and he loves to be talked to . He has recently found his voice , so he has become a little chatter box . We are so thankful God chose us to be his parents .
I am so thankful for the opportunity to have been with such a sweet group of people at Commission on Aging . My favorite part about this job was going to each senior center . They have their own style and spunk , but one thing they have in common is the love they show you each time you walk through the door . Each senior center held and will continue to hold a special place in �������������������������������������������������������� soon .” much , but this precious baby boy has my heart .
