Graduation





 Last week was Emily's kindergarten graduation.  I was sooooo very sad.  I was a little sad when she started kindergarten, but a whole lot more said for her to graduate.  I just feel like she is so old now.  Part of the reason I was so sad is because Emily has had a great start to school. I don't think she could have had a better year.  She loved every day of school.  She loved her classmates and she LOVED her teacher.  I was so thankful for Emily to have a teacher who is a Christian.  I started praying way before she started school that she would have just the right teacher that she needed and that she would be a Christian.  God answered my prayer!  Emily has learned and grown so much.  She has gotten some many wonderful experiences.  She has been exposed to so many things that are shaping who she is.  I am praying like crazy for her teacher and classmates next year.

Emily is growing up so fast. She is so beautiful and you have every right to be so proud of her. I know how you feel about your kids starting school, I had the same feelings back when my older boys started school. Congratulations to Emily for a wonderful year and to her amazing parents who helped make her the wonderful little girl that she is.

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
