Our New Adventure.....

So many of you know that Big Daddy Bones started his CDL schooling and training in March of this year. WELL....he got a job with a good company (so far) and this week was his first week out on the road by himself. It has been a rough few weeks at home to get adjusted to him being gone (leaving out on Monday and coming in on Friday), and it feels slightly overwhelming with him being at home on the weekend trying to fit EVERYTHING we want to do with him in 2 days. I think we tire him out easily. Gracie was talking to me one day and she said, "Why does Daddy leave a shirt for you to smell while he is gone?" I told her it was because he knew that mommy missed him a whole lot and he wanted me to have something to feel close to him when I couldn't be. It appears that the Barbee family is starting out on an adventure that will set us upon a path to a new way of life, in many more ways than one. We trust GOD that HE has put us on this path and we are going to take it and run with it.

I will be posting more on here as I have a few more hours just to myself at night now, can't wait to update you on others new adventures we have as a family!

Big Daddy Bones

Meet "J", he is the best husband and daddy hands down. He is a strong man, who works hard for his family. He is passionate about God, his family and his friends. Most of the time he can be found spending time with Gracie and Bones. He enjoys hunting, fishing and anything outdoors. He has a voice that can bring calm in any situation, and a personality that makes you know you are safe and protected. His passionate heart, his deep love and commitment to his family never cease to amaze me. I stand in awe at the awesome husband that GOD has blessed me with, he is my best friend, the Daddy of our children, my confidant, and my biggest fan. He sees in me a better person than I would ever see in myself, he is the beat of my heart!

Sweet Momma Bones

I am a true believer in God's Perfect Grace, His Unyeilding Mercy, His Neverending Peace, and His Most Compassionate Love for His children. I am a Mommy, Wife, Homeschool Teacher, Cake Baker, Business Owner, and Child of the Most High God. I love my husband to the very depths of my heart, he is my very best friend. I love my children "high as the sky to the moon and back". My children are truly blessings sent from God in Heaven. I love God and my family and the absolute fact of knowing that they love me in spite of myself, makes me certain that I am cherished....and truly BLESSED!

Gracie

This is our daughter, AG. She goes by Sweet Pea most of the time, a name given to her by her Daddy the moment she was born. She has her Daddy's chocolate brown eyes and his daring personality. She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, loving and helpful, and persisitent and strong willed just like her Mommy. She is a quick learner, and sometimes just too smart for her own good. She loves learning new things, her current aspirations are sewing, cursive writing and sign language. Her smile will brighten any day and most of the time when she says, "Mommy" or "Daddy" it is simply followed by the words, "I Love You". She is one beat of our heart!

Bones

This is our son, Baby L. He will always be Baby L even when he is towering over most of us at a predicted 6 ft. 5 in. tall. He has his Daddy's eyelashes and his dimple, and a smile that will simply melt your heart. He is our cuddle bunny, and loves to give hugs and kisses. He has his Mommy's independent spirit and his own way of doing things. He loves to watch Scooby Doo and he's a pirate at heart. He loves all things boy, hot wheels cars, rocks, and leaves. He is a handsome young man, who dares to wear a "mohawk" on most days, I can only pray he grows up to be the kind of man his Daddy is. He is our son, and if you know our story, you will understand when I say, "He was well worth the wait". He is the other beat of our heart!
