The McCowns

When I moved to Nashville, I got involved with a local church, City Church of East Nashville. After about a year there, I started to hear the leaders asking for Sunday school volunteers and begrudgingly obliged, committing to teach kindergarden. Of course, I love it. Kindergardeners are simply the best.

In my first class, there was an especially precocious and adorable kid. He was spunky and hilarious, inquisitive and kind. Mitchell McCown.

One day, after a particularly awesome time with him in class, I said, "Mitchell, who are your parents? I have got to meet the people who created and raised you." He took me by the hand and lead me to Katy and Paul, literally the coolest people. Outdoorsy and laid back, smart and caring--these are the kind of people you want in your life. They garden. They read the Bible. They watch Friday Night Lights. They play the mandolin and guitar. They get a babysitter and go to hear live music.

Mitchell has grown up and left my class, but now I have Evelyn as a kindergardener. She is opinionated and strong, beautiful and funny. She keeps up with her brother and has a mind of her own and a sweet voice like her mama.

But, on Thursday April 6, The McCowns added another to their incredible family. Daniel!

I am so blessed by Katy, Paul, Mitchell, Evelyn and now baby Daniel and so thankful to have them in my life. Love y'all!
