God Answers Dreams!




Here are: Sheila, Curtis & Isabella; Greyson; Curtis; Tessa & Greyson


We are having our little boy - Harrison Kale Tomlin will be here around October 1, 2008. I never ask God for what I want, but I do dream about what I want and sometimes I remember that He also knows our dreams, because He knows our hearts! And my heart was really, really hoping for a little grandson. Having Greyson has been great practice for me and he loves his Nannie (that's what he calls me). His little smile when he sees me is the sweetest thing. I didn't have any boys, my nephews were the closest to me and since there was Ricky and Curtis, we didn't have many boys to chose from. So, we'll pack up the little girly things and start stockpiling things for little boys. I know from having Greyson that they can be the most loving little things in the world, but also the loudest, wildest, smelliest, demanding and stubborn little things in the world. I remember a lot of this from my two brothers when we were growing up. They were more than a handful! I guess I'll have to quit polishing toenails now!
I'm just so happy for Greg and Amanda. Greg is an only child. The last of the Tomlin name. This preserves that name for a longer history and honors his Dad, Harry. Harry has been sick for some time and is on a liver donor list. What a beautiful way to honor your Dad, naming your first son after him. I hope that you will all continue to pray for Harry's donor and recovery. I know that the thought of this new little boy puts a smile in his heart. Tessa certainly loves her Papa.
And as for baby Harrison, he may have a few minor things to keep an eye on, so your prayers for Harrison, Amanda & Greg will be appreciated as well. To say that we are overjoyed can't possibly express the happiness and thankfulness for all these babies. What they add to our lives is totally awesome. God is Good. He hears our Prayers and knows our Dreams!!

About Me

My photo
I have the most amazing family and spend most of my time with them. I have twin daughters who are 32. They have given me Tessa age 4, Isabella age 3, Harrison who is 2 and Pierce Hayden who is 5 months. I also have 3 step children who have blessed me with Heath and Heather - who are almost 14, Bailey who is 13, Alyssa who is 7, Greyson who is 5 and Tinsley who is 5 months. I am a blessed Gigi!! I am a builder of custom homes and have a subdivision that I am developing, I have a Nashville vacation rental that keeps me hopping, I recently took on a beautiful new position editing and proofreading for a speaker/book writer with Psalms 31 Ministries, I am also editing a book for a beautiful Christian friend who is about ready to publish her first book, I am working diligently for the next Congressman for the 5th District in Tennessee and just recently have started campaigning for a family member who is running as an independent for the Governor of Tennessee. I travel a lot with my husband and find my most satisfying position in life is as a daughter to my amazing Mom and as Gigi to my beautiful "little people"!! Life couldn't be more busy, crazy and chaotic - and I love it!!
