This picture of Aaron and Parker was just cute so I had to put it on here...This morning we went to Grace's 7 year old check-up at the Doctor's office. She is in the 90th percentile for height and weight. Her hearing is perfect and her eyesight is fine for right now. I can't believe that she is exactly 1 foot shorter than me...I am so in trouble! She is going to be taller than me in a few short years!! She was a little iffy on one of the sight lines, so we may go in a have a better check-up with the eye doctor, but our doc says she is just fine for now. We sat there in the office this morning, just the 2 of us together...just chatted and had a fun time being together. She is just easy to be with and she could talk to Dr. L without me having to help answer questions. I'm so thankful for her being healthy and having a great visit today. After sitting there with Grace this morning, I decided that we are going to make the very most of the rest of our summer and go out of summer 2008 with a bang.
Yesterday was a great day. The kids played and enjoyed being outside and NOT sweating quite so much!!Susannah is in Graham with her best little buddy, McKynna. They came into town last night for the Rangers vs. Yankees game and then took Sus home with them. We will go there and pick her up tomorrow night and attend McKynna's brother's birthday party. He and Grace are buds, so Grace is excited to be with her old friends from church in Graham. I'm excited to go back and drive by our old house and see what they have done with it and how the town has changed. We haven't been gone that long, but it will be 2 years at Christmas! Just seems like yesterday that Parker was born there!! I really do love Graham, it will always have a wonderful place in my heart. I loved our house there that we worked on for so very many hours and I so loved our church family. They took us in and loved my babies from day one. Of course, I can say that about our church family here, too! What am I saying, I just love my life.
There are just so many things to be thankful for these days. I know, I didn't do my list on Tuesday but that doesn't mean that I didn't remember to be thankful. We are so very blessed and for that I am thankful. What now? Grace, Parker and I are off to Academy sports to get me a batting glove for softball practice tonight. After the beating that I took last week at softball practice, I'm going to be more prepared for practice tonight!! I may not be the best out there on the team (by far!) but at least I can have a great time on the field! Then what? Who knows!! Maybe a picnic, but I do owe Grace an ice cream because she had to get a shot this morning...we are off to have a super day!!

Good job kicking yourself in the butt. I'm the queen of consuming my mind with things that need to be let go. Amazingly I don't have control over everything. Can you imagine?! Make yourself pray about it everytime it creeps back into your mind. It makes a BIG difference. Hope your day is fabulous along with the rest of your kiddos summer!
Eeeek... Only a couple of weeks left with my sweeties before they start school! I wish it was a little longer!
You have such a sweet family & we are so glad you're here. Have a fun trip back to Graham! Brandon & I went back to our hometown in OK last month. We had not been there for a visit in over 2 years! It was fun to see everyone & our old house!
