What a great season of baseball for Alex! He had 2 spectacular coaches, husband and wife, Wade Benson & Jill Haas. Coach Benson was the Auburn University volleyball head coach who just resigned. His wife, Coach Haas, played for the American Women’s Baseball national team for the championship in Japan in 2000. To say we had really qualified coaches would be an understatement. We saw great improvements in Alex, as well as the entire team. End of the year party

A few weeks ago we went to Franklin, TN, which is about 20 miles south of Nashville. We were there for the last soccer tourney of the season! We stayed in Brentwood, TN (which is about half way in between Nashville and Franklin) at the Hyatt Place. Love, love, love those bed and breakfast places! We got in around 10:30 and hurried to bed for we knew 7 am would come quickly. We got up, enjoyed our Continental Breakfast, and got over to the fields in time for Teenager to warm up and prepare for his game. They pulled out…

::::::Random thoughts:::::: Not only the last concert of the year, but Drew’s… last concert at DMS. last concert as a 7th grader. I tapped my toe. I shook my leg. I couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear. The songs made me happy. I took way too many pictures. I wanted to jump on the front row and start playing.

Ahhhhh!!! I’m so upset right now and instead of putting part of this on my facebook, I’m going to do what I used to do and blog about it! So here goes…you have been forewarned. First, let me give some background info. Every summer our church has a “Sweat Week” for 6-12th graders. Sweat Week is where the teenagers sleep at the church for 3 or 4 nights and they spend each day doing mission work around the community. Last year Drew helped sort donations at the Salvation Army drop off center, shovel horse waste at a Horse Camp for…

This week is Children’s Book Week! Yay! Since Children’s books are my favorite, I’m bubbling with excitement to share my favorite children’s books of all time. When I started thinking back to the books I had growing up, this is one that comes to mind first. I remember purchasing this at a school book fair. I couldn’t have been more excited. It remained one my fav books and I still have it today. Little Rabbit’s Loose Tooth The Dollhouse Murders reeled me in and made me a lover of mystery and suspense. Judy Blume, although controversial, her books were some…
