Back to School!

1st day of 8th grade!!

Today is the first day of the 2010/2011 school year!! I can't believe that Zeb is in the 8th grade! Where does the time go? I hope everyone has a great school year!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZEB!!!!

Happy 13th birthday to my sweet Zeb!! It is hard to believe that we now have a teenager!

Zeb's First 5K

Crossing the Finish Line!!

Zeb ran in the Marshall County Hospice 5K run today! This was his first 5K and he finished in 25 minutes and 23 seconds! He also got the Bronze Medal in his age division! I am so proud of him and he is proud of himself!!

SPRING

I am ready for spring!!!!

Brrrr!!

It's cold out there!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

"It came upon the midnight clear,

That glorious song of old,

From angels bending near the Earth

To touch their harps of gold:

'Peace on the Earth goodwill to men,

From Heaven's all gracious King':

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing."

This is one of my favorite Christmas carols. Many years ago at a church my dad was pastoring an elderly gentleman sang this song. He walked to the front of the church in tattered clothing, long gray hair and beard and began to sing. It was beautiful! I'm not real sure how old Mr. Cooper was, but he lived many years after that Christmas and now he is singing with the Angel choir! Every time I hear "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", I see and hear Mr. Cooper on that Christmas many years ago!

Merry Christmas and may God Bless you all!

HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVNG!! MAY YOU ALL HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!

FALL!!

PUMPKINS!!!!

FALL LEAVES!

Fall is in the air!! I love the changing of the leaves and the smell of change in the air. It is that time of year when football is king and all is right with the world. Pumpkins are seen everywhere and colors are abundant! The smell of fresh cut wood lets us know that winter is just around the corner! HAPPY FALL!!!

Where Does the Time Go???

Zeb, Madison, and Judd - BFFs

Where does the time go?? It seems like only yesterday that Zeb was starting kindergarten and this past week he started 7th grade!! Along with 7th grade comes football. Zeb has been waiting for this all his life. Yes, it has had its ups and downs, but in the end he is enjoying being on the team and is anticipating his first game on September 1. Yesterday was picture day and they all looked so grown-up in their uniforms, yet so much like little boys playing dress-up. As a mom, I am surviving the middle school years with lots of prayer and worry. Teaching middle school for 3 years taught me that those are some of the most difficult years a child can face. So many things during this time shape who they will eventually become. People who were once friends no longer share the same interest and new friendships are forged as horizons broaden. As a parent we see children turning into teens and beginning to make their way in this world. Yes, there will be tears and laughter, but though prayer, family and friends we all survive. Hopefully we have taught them well. I am excited to see what the future holds for Zeb and his friends, yet a little sad at the fact that my little boy is growing up all to quickly.
