Who needs a slip-n-slide?

 This is what happens after it rains for several days around here...

Kimball the Superstar

Kimball just finished up a sweet soccer season where he had lots of great plays, especially as goalie.

Every Thursday morning before school, Kimball has gone to jump rope practice with the Golden Skippers team at his school. They had an end-of-year program for the parents this week, and we got to see some of Kimball's skills. Awesome!

Kimball is working hard at so many things right now--school, swimming, soccer, scouts, piano. It's hard to believe he's finishing up 3rd grade already. I'm so thankful to be the mom of this superstar.

Mother's Day 2013

Home

It's raining hard outside tonight. It was a perfect 85-degree day today and then this storm rolled in and it's creating quite a ruckus out there. But I don't mind at all. I like the intensity of Southern rain storms. And my family is all here at home together--finally. After months of being in and out, Mark is finally home for good. After playing together all day, the three kids insisted on having a sleepover in the family room tonight. I hope they'll always be each other's best friends. I don't care what happens tomorrow for Mother's Day. I am feeling grateful and happy tonight.
