Girls love shoes!

Athletics Awards Ceremony..............

Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of last night .  The girls and I were unable to attend.  The Frog is sick and the littles went to bed early.  The Vol did win MVP of the Middle School Basketball Team.  Way to go Vol!

A child born to another woman calls me mommy.The magnitude of that tragedy & the depth of that privilege are not lost on me.

So proud of the Vol........

The Vol had his 8th grade middle school Honors Ceremony last night and came home with 6 awards.  A job well done!  He is growing up before our eyes.  Next year we will have a  high schooler!

A new ride..........

 After Princess learned that her friend 'R' was riding a 'training' bike, she decided to give it a whirl.  So, we retrieved the Frog's old bike out of our basement and put the training wheels back on.  Although she was hesitant at first, she absolutely loved her 'new' bike.
