10 out of 10...

I love these latest pictures Chris sent. They definetly are a ten out of ten! 

He had a successful and enjoyable trip to Thailand, and is safely back in the Philippines.

Wishing I could slow it all down...

I got to pick Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm up from school today. As I watched them come out the door, I found myself wishing I could slow it all down. They are getting so big and have changed a lot since last year. I asked Grahm if he had a good day and he replied, "I got scared once and I was at school for 55 hours." Being at school all day must seem so long to him. I think he mostly likes kindergarten!

I really love them.

There's something about a sunset...

 Christopher captured a breathtaking sunset in Phuket.

Do not go gentle...

PC to me

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

Dylan Thomas - 1914-1953

Around the table...

Having everyone around either of 

these tables makes me happy!

Play-Doh buddies!

Grahm made us all a delicious pasta dinner!

Colby put this starfighter together in record time. 

He still likes Legos.

Sweet Colby likes music and I know 

he wants to learn to play the trumpet. 

I'm going to see what I can do to make that happen.

Just another Friday with the grands. 

I'm always so grateful to have them around our table.

JCW's...

JWC's has been our favorite for many years now! I can't drive by there without thinking about Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm.

Through the years in no particular order...

See, I told you it's our favorite hang out! 

Awesome Possums!

Grahm still loves soccer. He would play the entire game if the coach would let him. Today he kept asking me when it was his turn. We love watching him play, he's fast, and full of excitement. He scores goals like nobody's business! Grahm's coach is energetic and so fun. 

Heading for the goal!

Grahm always picks up the ball after he scores and gives it to the coach. Then it's lots of high fives! 

Awesome Possums!

Notice the coach's shirt.

I don't have a picture but Grey had a game at the same time as Grahm. When Grey was out, Cash was gently coaching him. He talked with respect and told Grey some of the things he's learned playing soccer. He was a sweet moment between brothers.
