end of summer review

well lets see - where to begin

beginning monday the 18th- i will have an 8th grader- where has the time gone- it seems like yesterday that he was just going into vpk- time flies- enjoy every moment- good bad and ugly

he is turning out to be a fine young man- we laugh so much more then we use to and he keeps me on my toes
he makes me so very proud- oh he drives me crazy at times but for the most part he is an amazing young man- time and love and commitment goes a long way. i often look back and wonder how we made it- only by Gods's grace. God is truly an amazing God to allow me to become his mom.

Over the summer I think he has been searching who he is- he asked me about his birth mom and we talk and i asked him if he wanted to see a picture of her- he said yes- so my heart sunk a little (shh dont tell him) but I always said i would be honest with him and help him anyway i could with knowing who he is. So i showed him a picture of his birth mom holding him when he was about 9 months old- it was the last time i think she saw him- He does look like her- and as more questions arise he will be told the truth- he asks we talk he moves on. in a few months he may ask more. at times for me its a little unsettling but i want him to know who his birth mom is and what his birth name that was given to him- he is ok with the name he has he just needs to know his history.

excited about the school year- soccer season starts in  couple weeks- which i love who he plays with Upwards at Myrtle Lake Baptist

I was recently asked to speak at the school - me - so excited-

looking forward to an amazing school year-
