First of the Lasts...

Tonight is our youngest son's last high school football game. We are amazed at how quickly it has flown.
I did not care for our boys playing football when they first put on pads in seventh grade. I was so concerned about them getting hurt really bad. Praying for an injury free night tonight.
We come now to the end of their games with one bad concussion, a broken wrist, a chipped knee cap, broken rib, hairline tailbone fracture, a few stingers, lots of hurt fingers and cuts and bruises and strawberries. I am sure they could remember more injury's because they are their badges of courage to them. I am thankful for no permanent injury. Thank you Father God for your protection. So...to all of you Mom's experiencing your last child's last football game tonight... BLESSINGS. Let's go out there and have fun and soak it up. Cry if you want to, but smile too and Praise the Lord for how much fun it has been and for our wonderful boys. My prayer is that they are Mighty warriors for God on and off the field.

I am still going through old pictures and having a ball.
Here is another teaser Christmas picture! So very sweet. Love these boys!
This picture is of my brother's and myself at my grandmother's house. Her name was Mamamia and we always had Christmas at her house when we were growing up. You can see our stumpy cedar tree we went out and cut. So cute.
The memories are sweet.

My grandfather (his name was DaddyHollis) would sleep with us on a floor pallet on Christmas Eve. He was so much fun. He would tickle us and laugh with us. It made us feel important and special that he would sleep with us and be silly.
Miss him.
Blessings on your weekend!! Amy
