Happy Father's Day!

This post is just a little something to honor and celebrate all the wonderful dads and those that fill in for dads when needed! Remember you are loved and appreciated EVERY day of the year, not just this one day. For all that you do to help raise your children (or someone else's children) we thank you.

Specifically to my dad...I love you! We've had rough times in the past but I am so very glad that we made it through them and have a good relationship now. I love having you in my life and in my children's life. You are a wonderful grandpa! Know that we all love you every day.

Specifically to my husband...I love you! You are the best husband and father I know. I am blessed to have you in my life. You have been helping me fulfill my dreams for over 11 years now and you continue to do so. You work so hard so that we can homeschool our children and do all the things that we do. Our children are so very lucky & blessed, whether they know it now or not. THANK YOU for being the wonderful, amazing you! :-)

Top 5 results

The results for the qualifying round are finally up from the Top 5 tournament this weekend. Alex placed 33rd in his division for the state and Morgan placed 7th in her division! This is from the top 5 from bowling centers around the state of TN. We are so proud of them. They are doing their best, having fun and enjoying it.

Spanish, puppies and bowling, oh my!

Thursday afternoon we did our online Spanish class with friends. The video portion was rather dry and had quite a bit of rambling, going off on tangents, but the kids enjoyed the notebooking that went along with it. Afterwards we headed to GC's house. Morgan, Alex, GC and I attended the Volunteer Orientation for the animal shelter on Thursday night and signed up for our first volunteer shift for Friday afternoon. When we got to the shelter we signed in and headed toward our jobs. We did some greeting & showing potential adopters around, cuddled kittens, played with a litter of puppies, and walked the sweetest dog. We visited plenty of other dogs & cats and shared some time & love with them. We were thrilled to see 3 dogs adopted while we were there. Yea! :-) We will be going back on Wednesday morning. Morgan and I are volunteering in surgery. We are very excited.

Saturday morning started out early...6am. We left the house at 7am and headed to Smyrna for the Top 5 bowling tournament. Both kids did great. Alex's 3 games were: 83, 79, and 72. His average going into the tournament was 71. Morgan's 3 games were: 150, 123, and 136. Her average going into the tournament was 114 (we think). We are so proud of both of them!

We left the bowling tournament and headed back towards home for a friend's wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and we wish Jacob & Whitney all the best in their future together.
