Whew...
It seems like so much has been happening in our lives lately.
-The flu and stomach virus made it into our home for an unwelcomed visit.
-Carson missed his first day of school.
- Carson's baseball season is finally underway after a couple of rained out games.
-Carson missed his first baseball game because he traveled to Charlotte with Daddy and Aunt Z to see the Bobcats play.
- Carson hit a home run during his first time up to bat! :) :)
- I am AMAZED everyday at home much Carson is learning in school!
-We have officially begun our homework days... homework everyday now in kindergarten!
- My essays, videoed lesson, and picture portfolio are now completed and turned in... just have an interview waiting on Wednesday!!! God has blessed me in so many ways!!!!
- I received some discouraging news from the orthopedic doctor this week. My bones are completely healed, but my pelvis is a "mess". I have been enduring a lot of pain recently. I will begin another six week round of physical therapy next week.
- Ella has been boo boo prone this week. She has a cut beside her eye and a scratched up face after falling face first onto the ground from the slide.
-A leprechaun visited our house this week. "She" left hats, glasses, and cookies for Car and Roo. "She" left me a clean house and fresh flowers. It was so much better than a pot of gold!
- Carson and Brian are traveling to Bristol for a race tomorrow!
- Ella and I will enjoy a Girls' Day while the boys are away... one baby shower and one birthday party for baby Will.
- We FINALLY completed our taxes tonight. I am so thankful Brian spent most of the time working on them this year. But, then again, he has had SEVERAL days off without children at home!
- We have a Wii Fit now, and we all LOVE it!!! Brian and I must work on our weight. This will help on the days when I can't make it to the gym.
- We are less than one month away from the anniversary of my accident! I have such mixed emotions about the upcoming date.
- I am still enjoying Experiencing God. I hate that I often fall behind in my lessons throughout the week.
- Our school's dedication is this Sunday.
- Ella has turned into a little chatter box this week. She is putting so many words together! I love it!

Only by God's Grace...
Today I received a very special package from my sister-in-law congratulating me for being named Teacher of the Year for my school. It was an AMAZING day to receive the gift... a day my school's PTO held a celebration in honor of my award and the day the essays I poured my heart into reached their destination. The card Karen sent seemed to perfectly sum up my journey.
God's grace
has lifted you up...
stood you on your feet...
placed you on a road...
given you a destination...
filled you with a purpose...
provided you with a hope...
and guaranteed you a future!
The Lord will never let you down!
"...He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." - Philippians 1:6
God is so good ALL the time!!!! ALL the time God is good!!!!
