What a day we've had!
After everyone rushing around this morning to get our necessary Saturday chores done, the girls and I sped off to Cleveland, TN (and hour away) to a 4-H speech competition for Marian.
This was Marian's first competition involving more than just a few local kids, so I was a little nervous for her. Not that I needed to be. Marian is unbelievably cool and collected in front of a crowd. Unfortunately, her allergies decided to really kick in full force overnight, so the poor girl could hardly breathe, had difficulty projecting her voice, and was battling an earache. Nonetheless! Marian did a really good job with her speech. She did not place in the top three, but we sure are proud of her!!
Meanwhile, Dad & boys did not let any grass grow under their feet! Andrew had a soccer game this afternoon. He is playing better an better this season. If his coaches keep bragging on him like they have been, we'll have to build a bigger door or else Dwayne won't be able to get his head in the house!! Today, Andrew's team enjoyed their biggest win of the season thus far. They beat the team from Kimball, 7-0! Go, blue! (Who would have ever pinned me as a "soccer mom"?!?)
As if the day wasn't full enough, our church's annual ladies banquet was this evening. We buzzed back from the speech competition just in time... actually, we were a bit late. Some of the men of the church cooked and served a wonderful meal for us and a dear lady from Kentucky came to be our speaker for the evening.
But most incredibly of all is this picture. Do you see that my ELEVEN-year-old is as tall as I am? When did this happen?
Better keep an eye on her. She is looking a whole lot more like 16 than 11. Hard to believe she is so tall, but runs in the family I am sure!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Marian!! You will be a great speaker on day! You have the gift!
