Ode to Sparky

Wow, where to start? January has been SO busy for the Pearson family! We have been all over the state of Georgia- with Adeline in tow. All of this would not have been possible without our beloved Sparky! For those of you who do not know who Sparky is, Sparky is my mom's grandmother name. Before Adeline was born, my mom decided she wanted to be called Grandmama. Well, none of us felt this "fit" my mom who neither looks nor acts like a "grandmama." So...Lawton took it upon himself to name her Sparky (because she is such a sparkplug) and it kind of stuck! Adeline has yet to put her two cents in, but we feel like she'll approve.

These past few weekends would not have been possible without my mom's help! Lawton and I brought quite a crowd down to Thomasville MLK weekend. We all went out to eat while my mom babysat Adeline and Thatcher. We had hoped that the babies would sleep the entire time we were gone, but....

This is a picture of what we saw when we got home from dinner!

She most recently went with us to Brasstown, so that Lawton and I could participate in the Leadership Georgia program. It was freezing while we were there, so Sparky and Adeline spent most of the weekend walking around the hotel. By the time we left, they knew every employee on a first name basis!

So, a big thank you goes out to Sparky! I don't think you can truly appreciate all that a mom does until you become one yourself. I only hope that I can be half the mom and grandmama that Sparky is!
