February - Already???

It is hard to believe that it is the 2nd day of the 2nd month of the year. I am telling you January was just one big blur! I am hopeful things will slow down a little, (but I doubt it will!).
Many things are going on, and it just seems the calendar is booked already! Derek started coaching a U14 team as well as the U15 team, and it is a lot of work at the beginning just trying to get the rosters, AAU books, and tournament materials together. It just starts coming so fast!

And what a bummer.... the Cards and the Vols lost tonight! So Summitt will stay at 999, and the Cards will probably drop from #7!

This is M on Super Bowl Sunday. I believe that she and one of her friends were in my office making I-Movies- I will try and put some of those up because they are quite funny. M was in rare silly form. That is actually a bad recital wig, that both my kids love to wear!
B who is still just 42 pounds ate the entire hour before and all during the game. She loves to graze, and she had plenty to graze on!

However, at half-time she decided that she was ready for her front tooth to come out. I was not... And I even tried to bribe her with a trip to the library if she would just leave the tooth alone. She must have worked the entire third and fourth quarter to get that tooth out. Sitting in my sink, she just wiggled and jiggled, but that tooth would not come out (Yes- my kids were up late Sunday night!)

Finally, we told her she had to go to bed, and she was very unhappy with us because "don't you know that the tooth fairy doesn't like the rain" (Yes, it is raining today!)

But off to bed she went! Then, today at school we celebrated the 100th day of school. In B's room they had many fun and exciting activities- however, B was on a mission to extract that tooth so she would be the first and only person in her class to have a tooth "fall-out" on the 100th day of school, and get the really cool tooth necklace.
Well, I came back to my room after lunch and there at my table was a note from B herself-

"Mom, this is B and here is my toth tothe tooth.

(Because last year, there was a tooth that got stuck in my shoe (we think a back molar) only nobody in our room would ever claim it! It really grossed me out!)

So off I went to find B and take a picture of her hard work. See this is a cute picture, because that missing tooth, well, I'm just glad we made it through the holdiays! LOL!

You can hop on over to Derek's basketball Blog if you want to try and catch some of his games this season. It looks like most of the U15 games will be out of town (Once M found out he was going to Atlanta, she immediately started thinking... lunch at the American Girl Store!) The U14's are regional for the most part, but it still will be great ball.

I start my mentorship for my confirmand on Sunday. She is a sweet girl that I just adore! We will walk through confirmation together for 6 weeks and I am just so excited to share this walk of faith with her! Please keep us in your prayers during this time.

"The Lord says, "I will make you wise and show you where to go. I will guide you and watch over you." - Psalms 32:8

It is so awesome to see and witness the young people at our church grow in their own faith and see all the good God can do! We are just truly blessed to be part of such an awesome family of believers!
