Little Timmy picks flowers for his Mama and sisters

I thought I would let my daughter-in-law, Allyson, tell it in her own words in a recent email to me.

The other day Timmy went out to the land (our other property) with Tim. He was so happy and grateful that Tim was taking him. When Tim was loading Timmy into his truck to go out there, Timmy said,

"THANK YOU FOR TAKING ME TO THE LAND, PAPA!!!!!" with a huge smile on his face. :)

On the way back home, Timmy was so sleepy from not having had a nap that he fell asleep in his carseat.... it's only a 10 minute ride home. Take a look at what he was holding for Mama and the girls.

He made sure not to drop them. Precious little man! And then he was happy to present them to a very grateful Mama, Hannah, and Lauren once he woke up. We all proudly wore them in our hair as we ate dinner together.

Have a great day!

Love, allyson :)
