A little Sunday shot

Here happens to be 4 of my absolute favorite people.....they are my motivation for so many things in life and make me better. 

Note from my boy

From Will

To mom

I love you now (no) matter what, even when you think it's me that made Chris cry. I will still love you even when you hurt me

Ginny's 1st cross country race

Ginny ran her first cross country race on 9/5. She was so nervous for it all day, worried she would place last. I felt like a broken record telling her repeatedly that just being able to finish would be a huge accomplishment. She was not first but she wasn't last either (towards the end part of the middle crew). Her time was 12:42 for 1.25 miles. Waiting on her to round the finish corner, my heart was bursting at the seams wanting her to feel accomplished and not discouraged. She was chipper at the end. We stayed to encourage the boys team and watched until the last one crossed the finish line. My heart was warned as I'd watch those exhausted young men approach so exhausted but somehow muster the energy to keep going when they heard others chant for them. Right then I decided that in life, we all need supporters and chanters....to some, that's what gives the extra ump to go one. 

Happy 11th Ms. Aubree!

Eleven years ago our lives became a little more enriched when a beautiful young lady joined out family. Aubree is our child who would rather give to others than receive. She's a gem. Aubree made the volleyball team this year at school and is enjoying Elmore Park. She's very excited to be in her dads STEM class and found out today she now qualifies for the gifted program. Her favorite places to eat right now are Chick-Fil-A and CiCi's pizza. She had a swim party and enjoyed herself. It warms my heart to see my babies happy.
