Well, a lot of my writing has been in book notes & Bible study notes. More on social media & texting the teens - A LOT of texting the teens. This will become a way to chronicle for my children my view on their adventures.
Y'all my family is amazing & exhausting all at the same time . . .
BAY is 16!! Baylor turned 16 this Summer, although with a hurt knee & fear of cars she still does not have her license. (I think I am the only Mom who is waiting for her 16 year old to drive) She is rockin' high school & LOVES keeping that GPA above a 4. She is involved in 4 different choirs, PLUS voice lessons, CFAP, small groups & a couple of clubs. In other words - she makes a lot of plans for someone who does not like to drive - just sayin'. I love having a girl in our mix!
WFM5 is a teenage boy who loves to play jokes on his Momma & push a lot of buttons. Soccer is ALL the time around here . . . one day I will chronicle the hours I have spent watching kids run back & forth on a field. He watches a lot of sports & still loves history & watching the news. We have definitely bonded over detective shows, but I still cannot figure out how my little preemie is taller than me & about to be in high school.
WHITTY is in middle school & is doing GREAT! He followed the Martin way & joined the middle school choir. He played some more soccer & has put together a lot of confusing Legos. He can easily be found climbing a tree or leading an expedition into the creek. This boy is almost a teenager & always smarter than his Momma. It was a sweet, tearful moment watching him join our church this Fall along side lifelong friends.
LEE-LEE has started First Grade at a new school & LOVES it! We have loved joining in the adventures of Dolly Ridge Elementary. He played soccer & of course basketball is his "life." Reading is coming along, but math is his favorite. He is constantly running out the door (or climbing out a window) saying, "Bye Mom, going to play!" He can also be found in a tree or creek.
My much better half is working hard, deaconing, helping with carpools, coaching & helping me remember the things I forget. This coming Summer we will be married 20 years! ALL of those years he went above & beyond.
This momma can be found in the minivan most days or helping at a school, or the church. If you don't see our minivan at a soccer field or in a carpool - you are WRONG it is really in one of those places, OR Target - I do love some Target-time. It has been an adjustment with all 4 being in school all day, but I am handling the 2 second breaks pretty well.
Every year I say this, but there are a lot of changes in store for the Martins this year. How will I have 2 in high school? How have we been married 20 years, it seems just like yesterday?
May the Lord our God bless you & yours in 2020, may you know His grace & truth.
Merry Christmas! ~ the Martins
