Out of Uniform Day and Movie Night

Well today was a great day. The boys were so excited about going to school and wearing their regular clothes. Danny is used to it, they get to do this a few times a year, but for John Michael this was his first school day not in uniform. Danny of course went all comfy with his basketball clothes, John Michael went all SuperHero with his Batman shirt and jean shorts. I love the fact that they are their own people. I have tried to give them some independence so hopefully they can see that too. Or at least will be able to when they get older. They both had great days at school. It was show and tell day and for the letter S....Spongebob was in John Michael's backpack.

We were going to go to the lake, but we have so much to do around the house and with the weather not looking too promising we decided to stay home this weekend. I keep telling myself that was probably best. We will head to the lake soon though. I like going in the fall and even winter. Even though you cannot swim it is still a lot of fun, and usually gives us time to work up there.

My heart aches today for the family I have been asking you all to pray for. Cali came off life support today and has gone to play with the angels. I know that she is in God's hands and that she is happy and healthy now. The hole is always on earth. I pray that the family stays strong in their faith, they are truly amazing people. Cali was a blessing while she was here and I know that her story will continue to touch so many.

We decided that we wanted to cuddle with the boys tonight. So we decided movie night. The boys picked Days of Thunder whichI like a lot and Brandon, well it is one of his all time favorites! It was a great family night. I did a lot of reflecting and praying.

Well, I cannot post until tomorrow, I still have to upload pictures. :) But I hope that everyone has had a wonderful day and has an great long weekend.

Welcome to September

Wow! So I woke up this morning still not believing that September is really here. WOW! Yep, that is about all I have to say. I am looking forward to this month though and all of the amazing blessings that I know it will be bringing.

The boys had a great day at school. Thursday papers came home, and I was super pleased. They both seem to be doing really well. I cannot believe that they have covered so much. Danny is rocking and rolling with 3rd grade, and John Michael is with Kindergarten.

Today was soccer day so after I got them in the car we parked, worked on homework, changed John Michael, and then headed to practice. It was another hot one. I was going to walk while he practiced but the mederal dose pack I am on has the heat really beating me down. I love the heat and summer, but those two are not mixing well. hopefully next week will be better. He did great at practice. He is really into soccer and is doing really well considering he has never played. I just love knowing that they are having fun.

After practice we had a quick photo shoot for Poshy Tots and an outfit that they needed done. Thank you Ashlyn for being such a great model.

PS....City of Clay you need to do something about the small playground!!!

On a serious note, I am asking that you all pray for a special child. Cali is her name and her parents had to make the decision that would only be possible with Faith and love from God. Cali has been on life support and it will be turned off tomorrow. It has been a long hard fight and in her short five months Cali has moved so many people and touched so many lives. It breaks my heart that she will be leaving this earth, but she has done so much in such a short period of time. While I do not know her personally, but through a mutual friend. Her story has touched me in ways that I cannot express. Please pray for Cali as she goes to play with the angels tomorrow. Also pray for her family.

Well, I am off to bed. It has been a long day and one that has drained at my heart. I love my time with my family and it is moments like this I want to cuddle with them all and never let go.
