Realized I never posted this… This month I was happy about: that Drew was able to have the opportunity of a life time to go to Philmont. This month I was sad about: having Drew gone for over 1/2 a month. Something I accomplished this month was: not a whole lot of anything really… Something… Read More »
Dear Drew, Man, you’ve been gone just over 2 weeks now. I’ve missed you like crazy! It was kinda funny, the Thursday before you left, that evening, I was missing you already and you hadn’t even left yet. Before I left that afternoon to go to work, you and I laid across the bed and… Read More »
This past weekend was the Annual Cub Scout Pack Summer trip, but instead of venturing to higher ground, we braved the heat at the beach. Yes, we camped near the beach in Pensacola, Florida. Many leaders suggest it every year and every year a few other leaders are quick to nicks the idea. However, this… Read More »
Last Saturday, our friend, Chris, invited to us to go with him to Callaway Gardens to see the FSU Circus.
One month ago today, I quit Diet Coke and really all sodas for that matter. I went cold turkey from May 5th on. Before that I was weaning myself off, but I knew the caffeine headaches would be brutal. They still were for about 2 1/2 weeks after I quit. Someday I satiated the headaches… Read More »
The guys on one of their practice hikes at Chewacla State ParkIt’s usually this time of year, when I send out the address where you can send Drew cards, letters, money, etc while he’s away at Boy Scout Camp. This year he’s not going on a normal camping trip. On June 14th, he will board… Read More »

This month I was happy about: Drew being elected to be the Senior Patrol of his troop as well as finding out Drew’s iPod was recovered and that we got it back.

Thursday, Drew played during his high school’s graduation. I decided to go in support of Drew as well as many friends who had kids crossing the stage. See all the pics here.
Dear Drew and Alex, Man, how times flies when your havin’ fun and as crazy busy as we are. Today was the last day of school for y’all and know how exciting that is to have another year done. It’s also exciting to know you’re both moving up to the “next” level of schooling. Drew… Read More »
Looking on Facebook this morning, being bombarded by pics of my friends with kids graduating from high school tonight just has me feeling so different emotions. Mostly a nervous feeling with the knowledge that we’ll be there in just 3 quick years, I’ll be sitting in their shoes. That in itself makes me feel, not… Read More »
Drew and the AHS JV soccer team were in a tournament back in April. He went up with the team. Rob and I went up Friday night to watch the 2 games. Drove back to our friends’ lake house in Dadeville, then served at Emmaus Saturday morning and headed back up to Birmingham after that.… Read More »
Sometimes it takes something bad happening for us to learn a lesson. Back in February, Drew tested our parenting words. We told him his brand new iPod that he received for Christmas was “as good as stolen if you take it to school!” I’m not sure what about that didn’t sink in with him. The… Read More »

Being the hands and feet of our Lord and Savior is just so worth the hard work.… Read More »
