Why Sunday is My Favorite

I have always loved Sundays for different reasons.

As a child, Sundays meant Bible school, church and being out of school.

As a college student, Sundays meant a day with the family doing laundry (well, the laundry wasn't

a reason Sunday was a favorite).

As a young adult, Sundays meant being with a new church family who had become family.

As an adult, Sundays continue the theme of family - church family, my family.

These kids who have become our family mean more to us than they will ever know.

It's moments like these that make me live for Sundays...

To most of you these pictures will not mean much, but to me...

they mean EVERYTHING.

RACE for HOPE

Last year we began a 5K in honor of a lovely woman, Hope Shull, who was fighting cancer

and wanted to leave a legacy of feeding hungry children in Chester County.

This year we ran the 5K again, but without our dear Hope.

My kiddos ready to run!

and they're off!

Dear Mrs. Hope's family and friend finishing the race in her memory

LB took Mr. Tim to a race to the finish ...

Our running friends, the Allens!

and Darby

Both kids finished first in their division

Great friends for a great cause!

Jr. BETA Club Induction

LB has had a great start to Jr. High between being on the soccer team, basketball and

keeping up with everything in Jr. High world.

We were so proud of her when she was invited to be part of the Jr. High BETA club.

I have great memories of BETA club and hope she has a wonderful time

in a great club with fabulous friends!

Everything is Awesome on Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's Day we took the kiddos along with the Youngs to see

The Lego Movie!

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Besides, the kids loved it so that is all that matters!

Carter Takes the Court

If there is a ball involved, Carter wants a piece of the action, so needless to say,

he has always been playing basketball!

He moved up in the Saturday league and had a great season with great teammates!

What more could you ask for?

This season was the ONLY time you would EVER hear me yell,

"Go HEAT!"

LB Takes the Court

Damon has BEGGED LB to play basketball for YEARS

and she would never do it.

Then, this past spring she decided she would try out for the junior high basketball team,

and she made it!

Being a 6th grader, she mainly was on the practice team, so she played in the Saturday league as well.

We are proud of her for stepping out of her comfort zone and playing!

Getting ready to come in the game

Sorry this is blurry but it is the story of her life - everyone is 10xs bigger than she is!

 Here are some shots from her Saturday league....

She had a great season and who knows what will come of it now!

We LOVE Our FHU Basketball Teams!

To say we love supporting our FHU Lady Lions and Lions basketball teams

is a huge understatement.

We have enjoyed this season with both teams so very much this year.

Both teams at one point held the #1 spot in the nation and both have played their hearts out

in this brand new conference.

Here are some of my favorite shots of the season so far!

Thanks to Caleb Cook for this RARE family photo.

 The FHU baseball team continues to support in various ways and, of course, Carter had to participate!

After each game, Carter will go down (usually followed by friends) to give high 5's to the teams.

I think some of them enjoy it as much as he does!

After each girls' game, we loose LB and usually find her with the Lady Lions just hanging out cheering for the boys!

We can't wait to see what else the season holds for everyone!
