Abbi Chooses Auburn University


My sweet girl, Abbi, will
be graduating in May.

Deciding where to go to
college was not hard for her but
getting there was
quite an adventure!

The Worlunds have history
at AU.
Dave's parents met there,
fell in love,
were married,
and the rest is history.

Several of Dave's 
nieces and nephews
have graduated,
are graduating,
or are attending
Auburn University.

Abbi LOVES Auburn football.
This was an easy 
choice for her.
She was, however,
convinced her ACT score
was not good enough
to get admitted to AU.

So Abbi found another way -
a program at AU Montgomery
that allows you to go directly
to AU after one year
(providing your grades are good).

So we began that process in 
December and
she was admitted 
(even awarded scholarship)
to AU Montgomery.
The hitch was 
(of which we 
were not aware until January)
you must apply directly 
to Auburn University to
be considered for the
seamless program.

Long story short, 
Abbi applied, 
thinking she would be
admitted to the
"seamless" program
but God showed 
her favor and
she was accepted
to Auburn University!
(A good GPA & ACT score does
come in handy!)

Abbi said,
"God made it so I
would have to apply
to Auburn."
She is beyond excited
and reveling 
in God's grace -
unmerited favor - 
to her.

Her good friend, 
Natalie,
even decided
to go there, too,
and they will
be roomies!

WAR EAGLE!

We visited the campus
last week. 
Here are some
photos 
of my girl
and the campus.





















Delight yourself
in the Lord,
and He will
give you
the desires of
your heart.

Dawson Wade




This is my sweet, great nephew, 
Dawson Wade Higginbotham.



 I met him last week
when we went to 
Dauphin Island
for our vacation.




 His mom and big brother
came to see us at the beach
and I was able to babysit
while they played.

I was overjoyed to get to
capture these sweet images
while he slept.
 Isn't he an angel?


He favors my dad
in this photo. He also
favors my brother,
Barry, who would
have been thrilled
to know his grand
children if he had
lived.  Dawson
and his brother
Devin would have
loved their PawPaw
Barry, too!


I will forever love
babies...



sleeping,
awake, crying,
laughing. They
are the hope
that tomorrow
will come...and hopefully will be better than today.

Playing Catch Up

Easter




This is the obligatory
 family picture I require 
of my family  
each Easter.
We are already
 dressed up
so why not?









 Zoe and Abbi
were willing
to pose for me,
so again,
I took
full advantage.

Chloe



 This beautiful baby girl is
Chloe.
She is one of the
newest people
in our world and
in my life.
It was such a joy
to photograph
her and her parents.

She was so
 pleasant and happy,
such a joy! 


It is hard to believe,
I know,
but 
she is even 
more precious
in person!


These are her
gorgeous
parents.
You can 
see why
baby Chloe
is so 
beautiful!





She found her favorite
resting place
and 
it wasn't
long before
she was
out like a light.
So precious...
awake or 
asleep.


Daddy's
strong 
arms
will
keep 
you safe,
little one.









Sweet dreams,
   Chloe!                                    
Many Blessings
to this
sweet,
new 
family
from 
Worlund Photography!

Thanksgiving with MawMaw


Most people
put their
Thanksgiving
photos online
the day of 
or even the day
after Thanksgiving.
I am a little
slower
and 
a very
busy girl
so here
are photos
of my family
with my sweet
MawMaw Maune
from
Thanksgiving.


  This is MawMaw with all of her children
 except my uncle Stan.                                  
   I was thinking as I looked at this picture
how great it is that everyone could be together
this day. We really missed Stan and his family
that were not able to make it.









In no particular order,below are some of MawMaw's children and grandchildren:







 Also, here are some fun pictures made that day:









 As a family
it has been
a tough
year.
We have had
our share
of troubles but
we also
have much
for which 
to be 
thankful!
A good start
would be:
our MawMaw
being with us
and our 
Uncle James
getting the news
this week 
that he is
cancer free!
God is
so
Good!
All
the
time!
