Honestly, wasn’t this just yesterday?!
Somehow, while we weren’t looking…
we got here.
So incredibly proud of these two sweet, smart, wonderful kids.
It all goes by so crazy fast.
But the love has always been the same, from there to here.
With all my heart and with all the next big, beautiful steps…
Beckham and Lily…
I love you.

Oh, this awesome guy. He is so good at this beloved game.
This kid ‘s been able to do something that he loves with passion and intensity for most of his life.
All the work, all the practice, all the long hours, all the practice, all the injuries, all the practice, all the recovery time, all the practice—
has helped make him the awesome guy that he is today–on the field and off.
And even though this is the view I usually get–(my poor Grammy eyes!) and I often have to be told what’s actually happening moment by moment…
still…
I do know incredible when I see it.
along with everybody else.
I don’t even know how many times our family has seen “Hope of America” but it doesn’t matter. We love it. This cute fellow…
and his sweet cousin Hazel were in it this year!
We got the video version on a live stream. My sister and I watched it from the comfort of our own couches!
Have mercy–that is a lot of stairs for us older folks!
L was right down there on the floor…
so his family got some really great pictures of him…
right up close!
He was even on the Jumbotron!! This is my favorite COOL shot of him.
Go L!! Go Hazel!! It was a wonderful night watching both of you! You did a great job!!
We love you both so much!!
USA! USA! USA!
PS- this is not a video of their group but it is a sample of one of the songs they sang. It’s all just beautiful!!
While visiting my daughter’s family one night, I looked up to see a teeny, tiny drone flying towards me…
with a very interesting….ummmm….
passenger riding along.
Not exactly how I pictured the Second Coming…
but ok.
I’m flexable.
Hahahahaha.
This girl and her daddy like to tease each other about who loves the other person…more. They’d go around and around…”I love you more…no, I love you more!”
One day, little Skylie came up with a love that was hard to beat.
This is the song written about that adorable true-life experience.
So, so beautiful.
