Cole tried baseball for the first time this year, we were not sure if his attention span would allow him to actually play and entire game. Through the season he also learned a lot, he mastered hitting the ball off the tee and running the bases was a cinch. He loves to run. But, when Cole got tired of the game everyone knew it. He would wonder off the field chasing bugs or just lay down on the field and look up into the sky. Yes Cole learned a lot this year about baseball.
Jesse, being our oldest has settled into the sport she likes. She is a gymnast and does quite well. It wasn't like that at first, she had to learn the sport and fall from the beam several times until she got the hang of it. She has won several medals and seems to really enjoy it. Jesse practices for 3 hours 3 times a week and the other day she told me "Grammy, my Mom and I have a Bible verse that we say to each other about my gymnastics" and I said "Really, what is is?" and Jesse proceeded to tell me I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Isn't is just like a child to teach us lessons in life? Macy has reminded me this year that even tho you may face a giant in life, like trying to kick a soccer ball, to just keep trying. Cole has taught me that when the game of life gets to crazy, just lay down and rest. And Jesse has reminded me that I can do all things through Christ.

You will definitely get your ornaments. The label is on the package sitting in my office. 12 days of the last three weeks I have been 4 hours away from home in a hospital room praying my husband would not die. The past two weeks I have been going through all the red tape of rehabs, doctors, etc...and getting ready to decorate 75 homes for Christmas which we start next Monday. I will make sure that someone, either me or someone that works with me, gets to the PO tomorrow to ship them. I am almost sure none of us have been once since this nightmare began.
Right now, today, I am with Cole on this one...ready to just lay down and rest from the crazy life!!!!
Your blog is always so interesting and well written. Keep it up!!

Whatever life throws at us, we should learn and grow from it. It looks like your summer brought you lots of lessons - and your children as well! You did good - enjoyed it!!
Sweet post on lessons learned from the grands! I have a granddaughter in gymnastics as well...and I think I will share that verse with her.
