Politics in the House

Okay, so I was a Political Science major at AU & I used to follow politics better than I do now. (Because at night when I can watch the news sometimes I need something I do not have to think about.) Anyway I wanted everyone to know that I am raising the possible future mayor of Mrs. VonE's 2nd grade class at VHEE (her school). Yes, our Princess Bay is running for class mayor. We started working on her application & speeches today & tomorrow she will be collecting references. We talked politics over dinner. However, when I asked her if there were any of the other class jobs she wanted I suggested maybe "Teacher's Assistant." Her reply was, "Mom, I do not want to be anybody's ASSISTANT." (said with definite confidence in her voice) So since they have to look into 2 class positions we are also applying for class news reporter. Politics . . . media - What's the difference??
Anyway I am so proud of her wanting to run for mayor & she is getting her references from 2 people that can & will back up her points with why she would make a good mayor. She said I cannot make posters, but we will see what I can sneak in . . .this could get out of control.
More later from Campaign headquarters.

Christmas Letter 2023

Merry Christmas! How are we here?       How has this year gone by so fast?            How is it almost 2024? I can tell you how . . . because there are 4 kids (in 2 cities), 1 dad (sometimes traveling for work), 1 mom & her minivan, multiple teams, multiple schools & 1 cute puppy. Whew!! Baylor is 20 & LOVING her apartment life in Auburn! She is studying hard & keeps a busy schedule with tailgating, church events & general TALKING with friends. She is doing some babysitting & pre-teaching over her Christmas break & some more TALKING with friends. William will be 18 any day now! He just made the Men's Soccer Varsity squad for his Senior year & so that makes the 3rd team of this year! He will be joining big sister in Auburn come August & I am sure his dorm room will be a little less complicated. He is half-way through his Senior year & doing well in school. He studies, works, plays soccer & then a little more soccer. He & Whitt are tryi

So Many Things . . .

 So many things have happened . . . So many things good things & so many hard things. So many things that we cannot explain & things we saw coming years ago. So many people & so many places. This momma's heart has had to learn to watch them fly & soar. I keep thinking back to what my Daddy said at our wedding " . . . you give your children roots & wings." It is hard to give them roots that run deep & how you instill true values in them. It is also hard to watch them open their wings ready to soar. They are soaring! They are learning SOOO much & watching these adventures is a true gift. I know one day I will look back as this being a great joy of my life. I am experiencing hurt but it is amidst such beauty & growth. My baby girl has started to fly & she is flying strong. As soon as she started off on her journey she hit a few unexpected bumps & she took a minute, re-grouped & then just kept on going. She was strong & brave. S
