Volleyball Pictures and a Puppy

This is Zoe

and 

Chloe

our new puppy.

We got her

just before

we made

volleyball pictures

this week.

She weighs 2.7 lbs.

This blog is not

about her,

though.

It is about

Zoe,

more photos

of her

and 

her friends.

The Three Amigos:

Two of Zoe's best friends

(she has many best friends)

whom she misses

very much

because

they moved up

to the JV team.

                                                          

My volleyball player...growing up so quickly!

Two more volleyball players who are growing up quickly!

  It's not about

Chloe 

but they do 

make 

a cute pair!

                                                     

The Lady Falcon Volleyball Team

This is my daughter's

volleyball team.

We have had such

a good year.

She was very sad

when her friends

moved up to the

Junior Varsity team

but she did not

want to try out

so we didn't.

We decided that God

has us where

He wants us.

He always does

things well -

not always easy,

but very well.

Here are some

of Zoe's beautiful,

sweet, talented 

teammates

(and Zoe, too.)

 

We are very

thankful

for these girls,

their families,

our coaches, 

and how God

is using them to

make us more

                                                                    like Jesus!

More Senior Photos

This is one of 

   Alex's best friends.

Darby.

      They are new best friends

       but fast best friends.

They really get along

well and have a 

great bit in common.

One of the largest

commonalities

is Disney.

Alex and  Darby

shared a

birthday party

this year.

It took a  while

for her mom and I

to convince 

the girls

that seventeen year olds

do not have

Disney Princess parties!

Darby, her mom,

Alex and I

will be heading

to the great

Walt Disney World

for the girls'

senior trip.

We really are

looking forward

to a week of 

adventure,

rides,

good food,

fun,

laughter,

and of course,

princesses!

Disney Princesses

prepare

to meet

the 

Huntsville

Princesses!

Senior Days

So, one would think

since I have been

through the

Senior Year 

of one child

I would be

prepared.

This is my Alex.

She is nearing the end

of her high school days.

She was the 

hardest

to bring into

this world...

four days of 

labor,

forceps

to get her

out

and lots of

pain.

   She is so much  

  like me.            

This has been

difficult, too.

She and I butt

heads alot.

Try everyday

about something.

She doesn't realize

that I have been

there and done that

like her

so many times.

I know she 

needs to make 

her own way.

It is just hard

                                                           for me to let her.

She is going to

be fine...

no, great.

She is very 

creative,

smart, 

sensitive,

talented,

caring,

fun-loving,

and 

compassionate.

This year will 

go by quickly.

Ready or not,

here we go.

Ready or not, 

here she goes.

Ready or not

they are flying

out the door...

one by one.
