A Thankful Heart

"God has two dwellings, one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.

Accidentally erased the pictures of Camryn and Cali in this Thanksgiving Post.  These 2 cousins truly love eachother.  Cali is a little mommy to Camryn and Camryn  does such a good job sharing her things.  What beautiful little girls to have in my life.  I am so thankful  for these precious angels.  They give so much meaning to my life.

Pearly Whites

"Angels have no philosophy but love."
I have been so fortunate to be spending a lot of time with Camryn.  Her mom and dad both coach soccer at Messiah College, and when needed, I am there to help out.  Camryn always comes first for them, but soccer is a love that both of them have.  Both the mens and women's teams are in the final 8 in the country.  We are so hoping they get to the Final Four in Texas and earn yet another National Championship.

This past weekend when I was there babysitting, Camryn wanted to brush her teeth. She wants to do this everytime she sees her toothbrush.  So, she and Mommy sat down and had a go at it.  She is so precious and really takes her time getting all those pearly whites!

The End of The Season

"And in today already walks tomorrow."

Last Sunday, Cole finished the fall soccer season.  He did such a good job at distributing the ball.  His team is looking good and learning more about the game each week. It's nice to see younger kids playing the game the way it should be played instead of just kicking the ball.  I am hoping they continue their hard work and keep being students of the game. 

Retiring???

"Life starts at retirement."

Carl has been talking about retirement for several years.  I just let it go in one ear and out the other!  He never does it.  Now, he says he is really gonna do it.   MAYBE!!   It's days  spending extra time with the grandkids  that makes him anxious for it.  Do I have a Honey-Do-List for him.  Come on June.

Game Today

"They say nobody is perfect.  Then they tell you practice makes perfect.  I wish they'd make up their minds."

Cali watches her brothers play soccer several times a week.  I was watching her this one Sunday when Cole had an afternoon game.  She told me that she "had a game" and needed to get dressed.  Into her closet she went, came out with a soccer kit and cleats.  She was so excited to get to the game so she could "practice".  Everyone thought she looked adorable, which she did.  She did a good job kicking and chasing the ball - until - she saw a butterfly.  After chasing the butterfly she found a mushroom and it went on and on.  Finally I said to her about watching her brothers game.  She said "OK, I need a break, I'm thirsty." She tooke a break, but really wanted to get on the pitch and play with her brother.  LOVE THOSE PINK CLEATS!!   GUESS WHO BOUGHT THEM!! 

Lovin' My Little Lion

"A hug delights and warms and charms, that must be why God gave us arms."

Camryn is just precious and so lovable.  She loves giving hugs and kisses.  When I go to visit, she comes running with her arms open saying  "MamMam'!!!   She just makes me melt.

Halloween in The UAE

"Happiness often sneaks in a door you didn't know you left open."

I was so happy to open up my email and see pictures of my babies in the UAE.  They had been to a Halloween party and had a very good time.  My "Enchilada"  loved his costume and didn't want to take off his mask for pictures.  I wish I could  reach into the computer and give them hugs.
