10 DAYS AND COUNTING!!!
1O more days until my sister, Renee, gets married!!! She is marrying Richard Smith. Jeff is thrilled with her choice. Those of you who know how much Jeff loves football will understand when you know that he is an NFL coach. He is the linebacker coach for the Carolina Panthers!! GO PANTHERS!!! You can see how much these two really love each other and we are all so excited about this special day. We will be leaving for San Diego in 7 days and have a family vacation along with the big event!! Congratulations Renee and Richard!! We love you.
Missing my Dad!!
Five and half weeks ago I lost my father to Pancreatic Cancer. That is a horrible cancer than sees a VERY low survival rate. He was a good man. He loved working and the people he worked with. The only comfort I get when I am missing him is knowing he has gone to heaven to be with God and his parents. I know he is waiting for me there!!! I miss him EVERYDAY!!

Where Has The Time Gone?
Wow!! Life sure gets busy with three boys! I have not posted on here in ages. I have a lot of catching up to do. My friend Leslie is so faithful to keep everyone updated through her blog. She is an inspiration. So here I go again trying to be faithful to mine. Here is an update on everyone:
JEFF
He is still working at Acxiom. The newest role in his life is head football coach for Ben's team. He LOVES it and he was made for it. Those boys love him and football because of him. I am not surprised by this. He is such an awesome dad it was inevitable. I am so proud of Coach Jeff!!!
YVONNE
I am still teaching at Vilonia and UCA. The newest thing in my life since starting this blog is my photography business. I started it a little over a year ago. It will never be my full time job. I love taking photos of my friends and family. You can check out my websites at www.yvonnesturdivantphotography.com.
BEN
Ben will be starting fourth grade in August!! I just can't believe it. He is such an awesome kid. He is in GT class and has a natural musical ability that I am astounded by. He plays the drums amazingly and has never had a lesson. He loves playing football for his dad. He is such a big help with Jack. Jack adores him!!! Many times Jack would rather have Ben and no one else. He is a good looking kid with a bright future ahead of him.
SAM
My sweet, funny Sam!!! You just have to be around him to appreciate him the way we all do. What a ladies man!!! He loves the girls and the girls love him. He just finished his first year of "big school" and will start first grade in August. He took piano lessons this last year and his teacher was impressed with his abilities. He is such a great kid that makes us laugh and smile all the time. He is just like his dad!!! I am proud of how well he did in school this year and know he will do well every year.
JACK
Jack is such a sweet baby!! He is a mix of Ben and Sam. He looks just like Ben did when he was this age. But he has Sam's body type/frame. It is so cool to see how he is a pretty even mix of them both but still his own individual. He jabbers a lot and will have full conversation with you, hand gestures and all. But you don't have a clue what he's telling you all about!! But of course, we carry on the conversation. He is a very determined child and knows exactly what he wants. He understands EVERYTHING that is said to him. We have been so blessed by his addition to our family. I can't imagine life without him!!
SO...there you have it!!! A little update on us until I can get some posts going. Love to all my family and friends.

Meet Jack Walker Sturdivant
Jack arrived at 8:00 am on Wednesday, November 5, 2008. He was 19 1/2 inches long and weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. Yes, you heard me right. 7 lbs. 11 oz. I call him the runt of the litter. We were expecting a 9 pounder. I told them to weigh him again because there was no way I had a 7 lb. baby!!! But I did and he is absolutely perfect! He reminded me of Ben right away. You can barely see his eyebrows and eyelashes. He raises his forehead just like Ben used to do. He has more hair than Ben but less than Sam. It is darker than Ben's but lighter than Sam's. He looks at us like Sam used to do-with one eye open and one eye closed. Some of you might remember our little one-eye Samurai!! We think he will probably be his own person with a little bit of both brothers in him. He is already developing a personality-how quickly they do that!!! He zerberts me a lot!! He is so precious. We can't wait for you all to meet him in person.
He's Finally Here!!!
Can you tell how happy we are?! Our family is complete. We are so blessed and fulfilled by this wonderful addition God chose for our family. Ben is very helpful with Jack. He feels a little awkward talking to him. But does anything he needs-especially giving him his paci on van rides. Sam, on the otherhand, talks to him all the time! We had told him one of his jobs as a big brother was to teach his little brother about everything like his big brother Ben did for him. He and Ben both are taking their roles as Big Brother very seriously. We are so proud of them and the way they have adjusted to Jack being a part of our FIVE family.
