So many things have happened in a year I'm not sure where to begin. Changing my blog name first of all to include the SEVEN of us!!
I'll start with Ryan. His life has seemed to be a complete transformation. He enlisted in the Navy...something I never thought he'd do....applied for the special forces, got accepted and in December will leave to become a Navy Diver. He has made many healthy lifestyle changes, has met a girl (she's a special one), and has grown in ways that Tim and I are SO proud of.
Alyssa graduated this year and gave us our first grandchild. Ellison Grace joined our family on May 14th. What an amazing blessing she is to our family. Alyssa is a wonderful mommy and loves every task that goes along with it. She will be starting classes in the fall to pursue her life long dream of becoming a teacher.
Emily will be a sophomore this year and will be cheering, running cross country and track, and turning 16!! Should be a busy, fun year for her. She has a real heart for Christ and has committed to not date this year but to use that time and energy in deepening her relationship with Him.
Travin will be in 8th grade. He'll be playing all the sports, but his biggest passion is drumming. He plays with the high school band in the Pit crew as well as in the middle school band. He went to several camps this summer and dreams of ending up in a drumline somewhere!!!
I would love to think that I can update this every few days so that you, my sweet family and friends, can be involved in our day to day happenings. I love reading your blogs...Steph, Laura, Trish, Kim...I read them daily, so I am hoping I can be as diligant as y'all.
Ellison...after
