Think of Me

Rachel had her first public performance today. And by public, I mean in front of a large group of people that did not include Alleluia Community. She can handle them with no problem. It's being in front of people she doesn't know that gets to her. Regardless of her feelings of nervousness, she did GREAT! She sang Think of Me from Phantom of the Opera. She even had the hiccups while she sang, but you could hardly tell. She has such a lovely voice. I can't wait to hear it again next week at her recital, along with her Italian aria. Love it! :)

So much for trying!


I just realized it's been over a year since my last post. It truly amazes me how quickly time passes. The past year has zoomed right on by. Sometimes I wish we could make time stop, or at least slow it down some, so we can enjoy some of the more precious moments for just a little longer.

My Rachel has become a lovely young lady. She's 13 now. We wear the same shoe size, so I'm discovering the challenges of keeping my shoes where I can find them. A few weeks ago, Rachel playced Arachne in the Greek mythology plays at school. She LOVED it!

Robby is right behind her. He'll be 12 soon. Soccer is his love, still, and rightly so. He's really good. Such a handsome young man he is, and such a gentle heart. Robby recently dressed as Neal Armstrong for a class report. Granddaddy's motorcycle helmet came in quite handy!

Matthew will be 8 in a few weeks. My baby boy is certainly not a baby any more. He's showing some growing talent in soccer as well. His reading has improved drastically, thanks to the help of the wonderful Sharon Newton. Such a funny guy he is. Quite the entertainer.



I am so thankful for all that God has blessed me with. There are too many to count, but my children are 3 of my jewels from heaven.
