Oh what a night!

I must admit that I hate the time change...when you fall back. I have been up since five o'clock this morning...waiting for the night to be over. So, I came downstairs at ten to six, so why not post on the blog. Last night was Matt's cousin Laura's wedding. We have been waiting for the date for months. Bryn was chosen to be a bridesmaid, so we were excited for her. The kids had a wonderful time...we took them all. It was a family wedding, so they got to enjoy themselves. All of their cousins were there..I am posting pictures..sorry they aren't in order...I put them in wrong and I am too tired to correct it.



Here are the cousins dancing. Bryn and Caleb are swinging..with Carson and Esther boogieing down... I snapped this one of Caleb...he looked so handsome!
Here are the dynamic duo...William and Carson. Carson is his cousin from Texas. They were born on the same day, a half an hour from each other (William is the older and wiser one, lol). They get along so well...laughing, running and goofing off the whole time. I was talking to the two of them and I told William that Carson lives two whole days away in a car. And William responded, "we can drive really fast."

Here is my Judah. He loved being able to walk all around. He was quite busy all night. I think he ate ten cookies and a load of M&M's...his body isn't used to all that sugar, but one night doesn't hurt!

Here is my father-in-law, Bill walking along with Judah. He loves his grand babies so much! What memories he has made with them. We cherish the relationship our kids have with their grandparents...what a blessing!



Matt and Judah before the wedding. Such handsome men! Judah looks the most like his dad...identical baby pictures! So as we know, then Judah will be extremely handsome as an adult!



Here are my little arrows before the ceremony. All dressed up and ready to party!



My stair steps! They are so unbelievably close...they do everything together...play, eat, ride and fight together. I love their bond and closeness!



Here is the bridesmaid. So grown up and beautiful. I can't believe that she is only 11 (and a half, she would say). She is growing up so fast and she is quite a beauty.



Here are the bride and groom...Laura and Robert. May their life together be blessed with joy, peace and the love of the Lord!

What a lovely evening and what a lovely family.
Although Bryn did not get my message about growing up- she looks like a young lady.

Pulling Myself Out of the Deepest, Darkest Depression...My Story

Image
     This post has been churning in me for months and knew that I wanted to write it and post it one day. I have been very open and honest about where I have been at the last few years, so some of what I write today may not be a surprise to anyone. Either way, I hope it brings help and healing and promise to some of you.      Two years and ten months ago my husband and I had just got into bed. It wasn't very late...maybe around 10pm. Life had been busy...he had just flown in that morning. He was long distance commuting between Florida and North Carolina with his job. I had picked him up that morning in the Greenville, South Carolina airport and then we headed to a swim meet in the same town for our daughter, Esther. We were there most of the day...stopping at some stores before we headed back to our home in North Carolina. I hadn't talked to my mom in a few days, which was rare. I was super busy and she hadn't called me either. I called her, and she didn't answer.

2020...What does that look like to you? I am ready to BLOOM!

Image
As I sit here at my desk, we have already gone through the first few days of 2020. I keep shaking my head when I think that we are already 20 years into this century. Doesn't it feel like moments ago we were talking about Y2K? So much has happened since then. Matthew and I were talking just this morning that I will turn 45 this year, and how half of my 40s will be over and how fast they have gone. And how difficult they have been. But I have hope. I never lose hope. I got that from my mom. I am expecting a great year. Not because I think I won't have trials this year, it's because I am stronger than ever before. So, a few days ago I was listening to something. I can't even remember what it was. But I heard the word BLOOM. And I instantly knew God was saying that this is my word for the year. I don't always take a word for the year, but I knew God was speaking to me. He told me that this is my year to BLOOM. The old is put away and the new is coming. I am walking i

Warning: Do you think your child may be Dyslexic?

Image
Three years ago today our world changed so much here at the Reynolds Nation. On that day we found out officially by the psychologist that Judah was dyslexic. I had been concerned for about 9 months that he was...I had heard on Good Morning one day what are some of the signs of dyslexia. Though I always watched my kids for dyslexia, Judah just didn't have the classic signs... like the turning of the letters B, D and P.  Everyone always looks for that, but Judah didn't do that. But he was behind in his reading. And wasn't progressing in a rate that was okay. So, we had him tested. And it was confirmed. And on that day I started an intense search to find what help we could find for Judah. Several people pointed us to the Barton Reading and Spelling program...and that's the avenue we took. I took the training program and I tutored Judah...he went from a reading level of a kindergartner/first grader to a sixth grader when we were finished with the program. And then I s
