We lost

Tonight little Ryan's team didn't win, but they gave it a good try. The score was 16 to 18. Little Bear gets very bored in the outfield and I had to encourage him to stop lying in the grass over and over again! But when it comes to hitting the ball, that's another story. He can nail it and his little legs carry him so quickly to each base. He's the youngest one out there, and the other players have a hard time catching him! For his first season and being the youngest out there, I'm impressed and a little prejudice. =)

Landon has been invited to a luncheon at school for high academic achievement on May 7. And she was able to invite two guests. She asked me and her dad to attend. Brad wasn't able to commit, but she and I will be attending and I'm so excited and proud. She's always made excellent grades, but this year has been different, because she was able to challenge herself by choosing to take Advanced Math and have a full load of extracurricular activities. She's in Student Government and on the Annual/Newsletter Staff and she's able to work in the office one day a week. So she has to juggle lots of responsibility with schoolwork and organizations. I seriously couldn't be anymore proud of her than I am, if so, I would burst!! =) I've always said, if there was anyone in the world that I could be like, I'd choose Landon.

I would pick her, because of her heart, her poise, her dedication, her integrity. When I grow up, I want to be my daughter! She loves Christ, and her family and she's so aware. Anyway, if you can't tell and if you don't know her, she's pretty great.

Her plans for the summer are to attend a Christian camp and she's so excited. We are hoping to take a trip to Atlanta for a few days to visit the Aquarium, the Braves, Coca-Cola, the zoo and maybe White Water/Six Flags. We've not ever explored Atlanta other than Six Flags and according to March's Southern Living, it's a really diverse place with tons to do.

Wilbur is playing soccer and he's awesome. He scored two goals during his last game and got the breath knocked out of him. He didn't like that feeling at all. It really scared him, because that's never happened to him before. Will has never been to the church camp, so he's very excited about going.

This week has been tough with having a lot of pain, and I finally got the MRI today. I will know the results in one or two days - so hopefully by Monday, I'll know more of why I'm experiencing this pain. And maybe I'll finally get some good rest, because for the last two nights, I've had a total of 5 1/2 hours sleep. But I did get some reading done, and a lot of praying and praising God for my three treasures!!!

Have a wonderful start to the weekend.

In God's Hands,
