 Well, who would have thought I would have a Beauty that plays baseball? Well T-Ball for now.  This girl can catch, slide, and HIT!  She is starting Dance in October, hmmmmmm, not so sure on that one..LOL,  Cole is Loving baseball, its just still so Hot.  This last Saturday we took the kids rock climbing and Cole proudly made it to the top & Addison had a blast hanging on as tight as she could after her practice.  Addy has made friends with all the little ones in her class, it is great to watch them all run up to her on the playground.  Cole has kept close contact with his friends from First grade and its great to watch him play when he does not see me…..the boys chase the girls…hehe.  Time is going by quickly, Dale’s Sister Cari is having her Baby Shower for Baby Timmy on 8-25-07, Cole and Addy cannot wait to have a Cousin!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy the rest of the week everyone! May you all be Blessed =) xoxo Jules

The time has come………………..I am here at my computer………typing…………with not one sound but my own!!!!!  Both of my children started school today.  Addison started full day Kindergarten, Cole started 2nd grade!!!!!!  It went so well this morning.  I had purchased extra needed donations for each classroom so i had that ready to go in one HUGE bag.  I looked quite hilarious with Addy’s backpack around my shoulder, my purse, and this HUMUNGO bag LOL…. I could barely walk. I brought the donations into Addy’s classroom and stayed with her a bit.  Gave her a kiss, whispered a prayer in her ear, then left.  I expected tears…nothing.  She looked a bit unsure but that was all……so we shall see when i pick her up today how her day went.  I then went over to Cole’s classroom to drop off the donations to the classroom.  His teacher is a first year teacher, her name is Miss Sole.  Cole said she has to be great to have the name sole-”Soul” He knows that she must have a giving heart and Soul, he tells me.  Isn’t that great?  I did get a BIG TIME wake up slap me in the face moment while leaving his classroom………BIG SIGH……..I went over to Cole’s desk, leaned over I told him I loved him and gave him a hug, he told me he loved me back…as I walked away…I could hear several boys saying ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yuck.  I looked at Cole and he was so embarassed.  So I guess in 2nd grade its not cool to kiss your mom back ……sigh…cry….HMPH! Here are pics from our morning today:

” I see children as kites. You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground.  You run with them until you’re both breathless. They crash…you add a longer tail..you patch and comfort, adjust and teach.  You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday they’ll fly“  - Erma Bombeck

This Saturday morning was the first morning for Addison’s T-Ball Practice and then the hour after Cole’s Catch Pitch followed……wowsers, it is still WAY to HOT out (110-115)…poor Addy was so flushed from the heat I left and bought her some gaterade, I think we went through 6 bottles of water in less than 2 hours!  But Cole did AWESOME, he can surely hit and catch great, Addy did great as well, I will have pics next week.  Addison met her teacher on Thursday and that went super, she is very excited to start kindergarten and I am excited to volunteer as much as i can.  Cole will meet his teacher on Monday, then they both start FULL days on Wednesday!!!!!! This means I am getting old…..my LiL babies are not so LiL anymore…sigh.  I will have more time to work which will be great seeing as I just got something that will take up alot of my spare time and I am excited to get started.  Things are going to be very very busy around here.  Busy is good, I need to keep it an organized chaos…LOL  Here are a couple shots I took recently that I enjoy:

Soaring in Christ, Jules =)
