Ok, well, maybe I am a good mom, wife, and sister, but apparently I am a terrible blogger. It has been May since I wrote an entry - - - an entire summer has come and gone, it is October and it is still HOT. Gin season is here, but we haven't gotten much cotton yet. We will probably be ginning into February HA HA!! Summer brought busy schedules for the boys - basketball practices, workouts with Coach Beau - Bigger Faster Stronger. Me - Booster Club treasurer stuff, school - two classes; Randy - job change, longer commute; family = VACATION with everyone in July!! School for the boys starts earlier and earlier each year, so August we got hopping with a new school year!
The boys are growing up fast - and growing into nice, thoughtful, "mostly" respectful young men. Parker is tall and is coming into his own with basketball - memories of his Daddy will come shining through on the basketball court, I think. Paxton is growing up - and needing less of his Mama as time goes on. Our prayer has always been that the boys will be strong and independent. I want more than anything for that prayer to be answered, and hope that when it comes down to it, I can remember my prayer for them and give them the space they need to make their own mistakes but be on the fringes to help pick up the pieces. My mama did that for me, and I think I turned out OK. It's important to let our children fall - but more important it to let them know we love them unconditionally.
I will finish my Master's degree in December - I can't believe I have been working on this degree for three years! I don't know what I will do with my spare time ! I suppose I will get back to the things I have let Randy do over the past three years - although, he likes doing the laundry (kidding). I can get back to helping with homework, cooking, and giving more attention back to my family.
I hope all of you take time to love your family, find your old friends, and remember what is really important!
