evidence of today's walk

This morning we took a 1/2 mile walk to a nearby park. We've been there once before and Addie really enjoyed it.

Doak fell asleep on the way home

Addie's new favorite thing to do is pick wildflowers

I bet she picked 30 today!

ant bites :(

This was our second visit to this park and our second time to come home with ant bites. After lunch today Addie said, "I want the ants to say sorry!"

Val said...: Growing up with no ants makes me freaked about them - I am so scared!! Good to know they will make it through it if it happens - hopefully they will have a sense of humor like Addie!; Thursday, May 8, 2008 at 10:10:00 AM PDT

The other day outside at church, M bent down and swiped her hand through a pile that she thought was just dirt. I blurted out "No, M, STOP! That's an ANT BED!". Close call!; Thursday, May 8, 2008 at 3:24:00 PM PDT
Sara S. said...: Bless Addie's little heart! The picture of the ant bites makes me so sad. I hate ants! I do love her hair bow, though, and the picture of Doak in the stroller. Have I said that you make having 2 kids look easy? You do!; Friday, May 9, 2008 at 8:24:00 AM PDT

our kids

The life of a coach and his family is one not understood by many. My favorite coach is one I'm proud to stand behind, cheer for, and work beside. I'm thrilled to haul the kids and all their gear across Texas every Friday night in the fall to be there for him. And I'm blessed that he wants us there. I love the way he searches the stands for us before every kick off, signing 'i love you' before he turns his attention to the field. I love watching him during games. I've seen him run the sidelines as his running back breaks for a touchdown. I've seen him embrace players who have just made big mistakes. I've seen him 'bump' guys that have made winning plays. I've seen him passionately discuss with other coaches. I've seen countless numbers of players come up to him after every game for a hug and a pat on the back. I've watched as young men from years past drive in from college to watch a game from the sidelines and see Coach T. And when I see all this, I know this crazy life we have is not just about winning games or going to the playoffs. It's about perseverance, integrity and character. And it's about the kids. My husband may not work at a church, but he is in the ministry and I'm proud to be the football coach's wife.
