Weekend and Homecoming

How was your weekend? My weekend was full and happy. Friday night we dressed in some warm clothes and cheered on our favorite high school football team.  The kids love playing at the football games. Caleb finds all of his buddies and spends the evening playing, throwing the football. Scarlet talks to almost everyone that passes by her at the game. I always watch in amazement as she is so open and friendly to everyone. I was so shy as a little girl. It was homecoming so the little girls were thrilled to see the older girls dressed up for homecoming court. I'm sure their little minds were dreaming of being those girls in those beautiful glittery dresses one day. Saturday we spent the day helping Matthew with last minute homecoming dance preparations. Pick up suit, check, corsage, check, last minute run to town for white t-shirt, check. His second homecoming dance and he only has two left. Wow, time is flying. He met up with a large group of his friends and they rode on this fantastic bus to dinner and the dance. I was so proud as I watched him tell his date how lovely she looked and shook hands with her parents.  I love when I see my children experience these important milestones of growing up. He was SO handsome. Sunday we went to worship and heard two great messages in sunday school and from our pastor. One was focused on missions and finding our place in our church's mission work. The other was on juggling the responsibilities in our life. It spoke to my heart and revealed to me once again that for me being a godly wife and mother are the two most important roles I can fill. The weekend was full but happy and blessed. My camera was not being nice (I REALLY want a new one..hint, hint ;) ) But pictures are coming soon......
