Will you consider it overindulging if I share a couple of quick pics (or more) of Leo, our precious grandson? I hope not, because we are in absolute love with this little guy!
Here are three pics from a recent photo shoot but let’s count them as one since they’re small and “tiled.” : ) [Photo credit: Snaps by Sally]
I just love Leo in this little burnt orange onesie (below)—and might have ordered it in a couple of different sizes for coming months. But it was on clearance at Target so that’s not obsessive, right?
And one last pic…
We were out to dinner the other night celebrating our daughter-in-law Kellie’s bday a little early (HBD today for real, KELLIE!), and Kelsey was holding Leo while we all chatted and ate cheesecake. I don’t know if it was the stimulating conversation or if something else was amiss, but he was zonked!
Thanks for indulging this new Gram Tam. Who knew grandchildren could be such fun!
TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY to watch/listen to WEEK 1 of Paige Brown’s Bible study in the book of James.
If you’ve not studied the Bible with Paige yet, you’re in for a real blessing. As Paige often says, “One of the most important things we’re going to say today is ‘Get out your Bibles!'” Her Bible studies go deep into the Word and character of God. You will leave changed.
The livestream is Wednesday at 10AM central, then that week’s video stays available until the following Tuesday night when it disappears.
I highly encourage you to join me for this 8-week study—and watch Week 1 before it disappears tonight!
Several of you have asked if I’m writing something new, and if I have a new book coming out this year. Yes and yes!
A Million Little Choices—my first contemporary, first first person POV, and first dual timeline—releases November 7 from Focus on the Family. We’re working on the cover right now, so I’ll share that as soon as it’s available.
Here’s a peek at A Million Little Choices—
Sometimes secrets just won’t stay hidden…
Two women from different centuries living in the same house share strikingly similar journeys.
Claire Powell’s life is turned upside down when her beloved husband admits to a “near affair.” But when Stephen accepts a partnership with an Atlanta law firm without consulting her and buys a historic Southern home sight-unseen—it pushes their already-fractured marriage to the breaking point. Claire’s world spirals, and she soon finds herself in a marriage she no longer wants, in a house she never asked for.
In 1863, Charlotte Thursmann, pregnant and trapped in a marriage to an abusive husband, struggles to protect her unborn child and the enslaved members of her household. Desperate, she’s determined to right the evils her husband and others like him commit. But how can one woman put an end to such injustice? Especially if her husband makes good on his threat to kill her?
Both Claire and Charlotte discover truths about themselves they never realized, along with secrets long hidden that hold the power to bring God’s restoration—if only they choose to let it.
Currently, I’m writing my first book (of two) for Tyndale Publishers, and while I appreciated the chance to write a dual timeline (incorporating both contemporary and historical stories), I’m really enjoying being back to straight historical.
More soon on this book which will release in 2024, but it’s got tons of great Tennessee history and fabulous Southern food, and is a book I’ve wanted to write for some time now.
So what’s going on in your busy world? Any news of babies, Bible studies, or books you’re reading (or writing) you’d like to share? We’d love to hear!
Blessings from my corner of Nashville,
Tammy

Leo is such a doll! Never too many pics gram Tam. Enjoy every moment.
The new book sounds exciting! Congratulations on everything!

Grand babies are soooo special. We have our first great grand baby, a little girl, and we’re over the moon. You/we can never have enough pictures. I’m so looking forward to both your new books. I really like what I call “time hop” books, but I love your historical fiction that is based on true life. Please share more Leo pictures all along.
Pam K. says
I’m glad to hear of the books we can look forward to. I so enjoy your books. No need to apologize for sharing photos of your sweet grandson. He’s certainly a cute little guy. If I had a grandchild, I’d share photos too!
Hilda says
What a beautifully, adorably, preciously handsome little guy! There are never too many pictures. You know how fast they grow and change.
Just one word for future reference: make sure your future grandkids are photographed as much as Leo is. If not, you might hear about it later!
Blessings,
