He’s the last of five. He’s the last pumpkin on the vine. He’s the baby. He’s been a blessing (and a challenge) for 13 years. I wonder if he knows that he’s already lived more life and seen more things than some folks experience in a lifetime? Maybe a few photos will help answer that question . . .
Sleep well, son. Thank you for 13 years of blessing.
Love,

Tired of chilly weather? Many of us are home due to icy or snow-laden roads. What better to do than make big pot of something warm to make staying home worthwhile?
Once again, Heather Here and I did not get to do all the things we wanted to do while she was down for a visit recently. And some of those things were going to have photos to go along with them just for YOU to see and enjoy. That means she’ll just have to come…
How y’all like the way dem Saints tamed dem Colts last night? And I just have to say this: Dem Saints ain’t no ain’ts no mo!!!! As I said before, I’m not a football-watching fool, but the Saints playing a Super Bowl game was history-in-the-making, so I had to be part of that. And here’s…
On that first Sunday that Lil Sis and I took our adventure by boat and then by truck down the bayou to get our first glance at the damage, our truck driver, Mechanic, said something very interesting. I’m noting it here so I remember it for future reference. “When you evacuate, you can become a…
Bayou Woman recently took part in a Story Corps and NRDC project. Come take a look!
Once again, I was able to be part of this outstanding event where everyone’s mantra was “Save the ta-tas!”
How cute! I still can’t believe my last little brother is a teenager now!
Wonderful memories for both of you, I’m sure. Our children are God’s blessings. I’m pretty sure he won’t realize (till he’s much older) what a blessing God has given him also, when he was placed in your care. He wouldn’t have made it to the ripe age of 13 at my house if he brought a snake on my porch! I would have had to use the shotgun on the snake and the pellets I’m sure would have gotten him too! Happy Birthday Termite!
Happy Birthday Termite! This is really a great collection of pictures. Well done.
Nice crappie and what are goggles for?
I been 13 a couple times, it rocks.
HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY TERMITE!!!
Wow, that got me, cuz I just went thru the same thing Nov 30th. Where did the time go? Mine was just holding his first wiggly fish only yesterday…His butterfly kisses are still warm on my cheek….AAaaarrrrgh! I let him catch beads on the other side of the street during the last mardis gras parade on the boardwalk, I looked over and couldnt believe my eyes…my little buddy wasnt there…a quiet, tall, shaggy haired teenaged kid was standing where my baby was supposed to be…THAT hit me hard!!!
You have a beautiful & loving family BW, your love & guidence shows through all of them. I wish I had the opportunity to raise my kid in the bayou country like that, Heck, I wish I could have grown up like that myself!!! Thanks for sharing your world with us BW.

Happy Birthday Termite! I can’t believe he’s 13. Seems like only yesterday he was in my classroom watching birds at the window. Great pictures.
What a beautiful tribute to your son, someday he will realize how fortunate he was to have such a beautiful and rich childhood. You done good with that boy.
Happy Birthday Termite!
He is a doll! He’s gonna have to beat them girls off with a stick! Look at those dimples.
Your pictures made me teary eyed. They grow so fast, huh?
This is a stupendous look into the past as Seth was growing up! I loved it! You are so incredibly creative and gifted in communicating! I had forgotten his little blond noggin for the first few years! 🙂
Happy Birthday to your Bayou babe!
