It has been quite a busy few weeks. Alex has started a new school , Olivia has started Kindergarten and the twins have returned to pre-school. Everyone is going in different directions simply because they are all at separate locations with many miles in between.
Alex has started a new school for 7th grade. Though we never imagined sending a child to a private school, that is what we are doing. This has been a wonderful, blessed step of faith for us and Alex. He is having a great school year. He is also playing football for the middle school team. We are so very proud of the young man he is becoming. And you can imagine how proud his daddy is of #22.
I might add...in the opening game Alex had 3 receptions and a fumble recovery on a punt. And yes, I was tempted to charge the field when two rather large kids sandwiched him at the end of one of the plays. I was tempted, but I did not. I simply stood, held my hands in the prayer position and watched run off of the field. I wonder if Drew Pearson's mom started out this way??? 
Olivia started Kindergarten this week as well. She has to wear uniforms so I get no days of frilly little dresses and pink from head to toe...(how odd that my child in public schools has a stricter dress code than my son in a private school). Anyway, she is cute in her polos and khaki skirts. This is a real transition for her. She has never really been away from us. Even in preschool, her daddy was down the hall. She has a wonderful teacher who seems to truly love Olivia. We are praying for a wonderful year.
You know I had to go with something completely "girly". I love her backpack and matching lunch box.

Alex looks so grown up in his football uniform! Let us know when his games are so we can come cheer him on!! I love Olivia's backpack & lunchbox...very cute!! :)
I really miss the football years. Go out and buy a cow bell and enjoy the years cheering Alex from the stands. I can remember wanting to run out on the field a few times myself. Of course I really remember one night at the end of a game my son walked past his mom who was waiting to congratulate him on a good game, to speak to a young lady that was all smiles just for him. That was a little hard to deal with.
Love Ya
Yes, I think the mothers of pro-players still have those feelings - they will always be our babies! I was told to "never" go on the field - I am just thankful that mine never got hurt on the field. That would be the longest minutes waiting for them to get up and walk off!
Livi looks beautiful as always in her uniform and they are very cute.
I wouldn't mind if Des's school had to wear them. Her not getting to wear pink would never be a problem.LOL She got a monkey backpack and lunch box - think she called it "bobby jack"
Tell them NanaWa loves them! (and you,too!)
I can't believe how grown up Alex is looking! I'm sure Dave sees future Cowboy written all over him!
And Olivia is so darn cute! I love the backpack and lunchbox. Andrew has a Lightning McQueen backpack, but I did have his name monogrammed on his lunchbox. There's only so many years you can do that kind of stuff. :)
