September came and went...

I can't believe how fast the weeks pass by now. We are already into fall. (My favorite season of the year!) :)

Our children are growing up by leaps and bounds.

Sam made jazz band. :D She is just wrapping up her Football Season of cheerleading by the end of this month and will move on to Basketball cheerleading. She has been dating her new boyfriend, Andy, for a whole month. And still working her first job on the weekends, while fitting in an evening of Tae Kwon-Doe. Her grades are great and she is getting over her first cold of this season. (If not for the cough, Sam is healthy and happy!)

Alex has embraced JR High with such a passion. She jumped right in to being a morning announcer and trying for Vice President. After getting her petition signed with enough names, she was added to a list for the first round of voting. When they narrow it to only two, the se-vies (seventh graders) can begin campaigning. ;) She is doing so well in band that the teacher asked her to be part of his jazz band, she declined for fear she was taking on too much. She wants to keep up her grades. She stays after in art and will be in several art shows this year. (Big Surprise there! :D) Alex has taken up running this year and is getting so good! She keeps beating her own record by getting faster and faster. She loves running! And she also fits in Tae Kwon-Doe once a week. (Alex is healthy, happy and growing!)

They are amazing young women who daily surprise me with their love of life and abilities. What a joy to be a parent. :)

Adam and I are so grateful for all that we have, life is good...we feel so blessed. Here is hoping that your world is equally so! (((HUGS)))
