Old Crow

Today, as a family, we got to take a trip and learn about the Old Crow family history. For the people who don’t know I am part Native American. My great grandma, on my dad’s side, was half German and have Cheyenne. She married a Cheyenne man named Denny Old Crow. My cousin Alissa gave a wonderful presentation about the history of Denny’s father, Old Crow. It took place at Washita Battlefield Nation Historic Site. This site also hold some of our families’ artifacts.  Alissa went into great detail of her research and how she learned more about Old Crow and our family history. The national park rangers were amazed at the volume of attendees. There were over 60 people who showed to hear what Alissa had to say. Thank you, Alissa for sharing your knowledge about our family. I am very proud to call you guys my family. Today I encourage everyone to ask about their family history. Maybe, you know a lot about your family history. So then, I encourage you to share your knowledge with someone who might be willing to learn. I hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday! 

Life.... It gets busy!

Hello, Blog Readers!

Sorry I have not been posting lately. Life has been a little crazy. (I can't imagine why) I thought I would give a little recap of whats been going on. As most of you know I adopted 3 kids. The last 2 months have been crazy. Change is never easy..... especially when you are 6 and 7 years old. Luckily I have had my family and friends to support us through this challenging time. My parents have been the biggest help. My mom quit her job so she could be a full time Honeygram! (Grandma) This has been a huge blessing. Daycare is expensive and most of them are not in a routine. For my kids, routine, is a HUGE thing. We have been trying to work on that and teaching them about the "real" world. Easier said than done. My kids love my parents! Like normal grandkids they would probably pack up their stuff and move in with them tonight if I would let them. We have already had lots of adventures.  The kids got to leave Oklahoma for the very first time with my parents. They thought that was really cool. Work has been crazy as well.... We launch a new website and logo! If you haven't checked out Hobby Lobby you should!

Today was the first day of school! Zoe was really excited. She told me this morning that she couldn't wait to meet new friends. I'm not a 100% sure how the twins felt. I could tell Jordan was really nervous this morning but he started talking to his teacher about Star Wars and they were set. Abbie-Jo had a hard time this morning. Everyone always love her! I knew when she got into the class room she was going to be as happy as can be. Last night I gave each one of my babies kisses behind their ears. (My mom did this every year for me and my sister) This way if they are feeling sad or just miss me they can grab and kiss and know I am right there with them. They also were lucky and got extra kisses from the grandparents! I hope all of my friends with kids had a great first day of school! I think my Mom has been doing her happy dance all :)

Thank you for reading! Have a blessed afternoon!
