Fun Pictures of Shay

Thank you to my friend Lisa for the wonderful pictures of Shay and her friend. This past weekend in Atlanta we held our big event of the year. We have to be away from home for five days. Since Shay starts school next year I thought it would be fun for her to come and enjoy all the cheerleaders. She calls them "Big Comets." I didn't get to see her very much but she had a blast. The weekend was a big success and we were Blessed with a very smooth event. When you have that many people in one place you never know. God answered every prayer and then some. So many people did an awesome job. I'm still tired and Shay has her cough and fever back again but we have this weekend off and I can't wait to enjoy it with Nathan, Shay and my mom.

Chinese New Year Celebration

 

We had a wonderful time at our local Chinese New Year Celebration. It was great to see old friends. Shay and Nathan had a great time.

Pine Wood Derby Day

 

The Batmobile made it's debut at our Pine Wood Derby. Nathan loves Boy Scouts more than any activity we do. He loves being with his friends and his leader is great. Our pack is just starting and is small but it is the perfect size for Nathan. He did a great job and was so happy to see his buddies cars. The four Tigers all raced together four times and we came in 3rd overall. At least we made it down the track in one piece. Nathan was hoping that they would each win one heat so they could all tie. His best friend won and represented the Tigers in the overall pack race.

It made me proud to see him happy for his friend and not worried about winning. He has had a great couple of days with many positive choices.

This past couple of weeks has been hard for him since I've worked more than usual. He keeps asking when we can have time just the two of us. It breaks my heart. We spent some time together this weekend but I owe him more one on one time soon.
