Oh, the Places you will Go!

When I was a classroom teacher, I read Oh the Places You'll Go by Dr. Suess each year on the first day of school. It was a great motivator as we began the new year with a clean slate. I thought about it this morning when I was driving Colin to school. I told him about the book and promised I would read it to him before he went to bed. Just before we arrived at the school parking lot I turned to Colin and quoted my 2 favorite parts from the book.

"Congratulations!

Today is your day!

You're off to great places!

You're on your way!"

" You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go."

Check out the little guy in the back who also "thinks" he is going to school today too!

Colin...You ARE off to GREAT PLACES!!!! God will surely carry out the plans he has for your precious life!

In the Good Ole Summertime

Here today, Gone tomorrow! Summer has once again flown by. I can say there has not been a dull moment. From Baseball to Bible School to Pool Parties to Beach Vacation...we have been quite busy. So once again, we say good-bye to another summer.

Our sweet friend and neighbor, Alivia joined in on the fun!

Colin Turned 7 years old!!!!!!

Check out this cake. Colin helped me bake and design it. It is a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake. It was soooo delicious and of course Gluten Free!

As the summer ends I am.........

"Wishing I was knee deep in the water somewhere, Got the blue sky breeze and it don't seem fair, Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair!"
