Got this great picture yesterday of Travis at Adventure camp with school.

Junior High Tennis

Trey won his doubles match 8-2 yesterday. Way to go... It was 94 degrees already. tooo hot.

My great Date night

Travis and Robert were at a basketball tournament and so Trey and I had a date night. Trey was less than thrilled to have his picture taken. Oh well the things we do for mom.

Our tree....

Not a pretty site to wake up to this morning.... I don't like those spring time winds. yikes

Still one of my favorite things in Kindergarten

Losing a tooth in kindergarten is the BEST thing ever. It's the little things in life that are great. As this little boy had a loose tooth one day he asked if I would pull it out. I tried and it wasn't quite ready. The next day however, it came right out, but he was quite nervous it would hurt and even said, it can stay in another day. After I pulled it out, a little girl said where is the new tooth? I said remember it takes a while for the new tooth to grow in, her reply was I don't like waiting.
 As I reflected about this tooth, it reminded me so much of sin and change  in our lives.   We want to get rid of sin and be a better wife, friend, parent, sibling,   but are scared it might hurt and quite frankly hold onto it because it's all we have known. Change is scary and we know that  we need to let it go but fear and unknown start to creep in.
After we final decide we must change, we like this little girl expect the new growth (aka new tooth) to be right there. But we know we must wait, read HIS word, reflect on His word, train our heart in HIS word and do doers of the word not hearers only. So as I am at times discouraged myself, I am then encouraged because like the tooth, it takes time and many times, I look back over the time I waited for  the new tooth to occur, The Lord has grown, molded and shaped me in ways that I never thought possible.

Surgery

We met with the surgeon yesterday and he thinks the mass aka bone needs to be removed. It is not HUGE but since it was gone before it is still growing. He will do a biopsy. At this point, we are assuming that this is still from the fracture in the jaw from 3 years ago. After the surgery, we will have all the answers. The best thing is that we can wait until school is out. YEAH.. Not sure Trey was thrilled with that but that was an answer to prayer. Yesterday, just to be funny Trey said can I get another scooter. UGH not soooo funny.Thanks for your prayers.

this is also my child....

Trey had his first tennis match on Friday and as I came back from devotions I saw this note on my desk, it says I left my tennis clothes in the car, can you get them. I did get his clothes then about an hour later I got a text that said, did you get my tennis racket too? What child forgets his racket and clothes on their first junior high tennis match. My ADD child I guess. I had to laugh... or else I would be crazy.

This is MY child

As you can see Travis was asked to get his baseball clothes out, school clothes out and clothes for a sleep over. He folded them all neat and nice and put them in piles and next to it was his stuff for school this morning. Yes this is my child. Nice Neat and Organized. Trey for sure takes after Robert. Ha

Never get used to this

Yesterday Trey had a CT scan of his jaw to determine exactly what this mass is on his jaw. We have been assuming that it was a bone spur but after several years we are beginning to think otherwise. Pray as we wait on results.
