ANGELS



Kate and Jon fishing, this is Kate's 1st experience, and she takes after me, and didn't catch a thing!! This was at the Grand Opening for Academy Sports and Outdoors. Jon and I took Kate and Josh last weekend. It was fun, they had lots of "freebies" for the kids. Josh even made 3 baskets in a row and won a $10.00 gift card. Of course he is wanting to spend it on a Nerf Gun...like we need another one-

This is Kate on Registration day. She is all registered for Kindergarten.
She cant wait, She will go to Ganns Middle Valley.

I have titled this blog ANGELS, because last week, each of the kids experienced their angels watching over them. I will start out on Tuesday night. I took the kids to eat at Chick Fil A because the one by the ball fields has "kids eat free night" every Tuesday. They have a play area which Heston was playing in while the rest of us were finishing up our meal. He apparently slipped out of the play area without me noticing. I kinda panicked when I didn't immediately see him nor did he respond to my pleas for him to come to mommy...so next, I ran to the bathrooms to make sure he wasn't in there--well HE was, in the men's bathroom, calling me to come help him. To say the least I was thankful that nothing more serious had happened to him because trust me the worst went through my mind.
The next experience was with Josh. He plays catcher for baseball now. He was in the dug out, when the batter in the batter box, hit him in the head with a weighted bat, full force. He was wearing his catchers mask and helmet when he was hit, so he wasn't seriously injured. We all know this could have been a serious injury!
Well, that just leaves Kate. For whatever reason, we had Heston's old stroller out on the patio. Kate and Heston were pushing each other in it when Heston pushed Kate right into the street, she stopped at the curb on the other side of the street. Thank goodness no cars were coming around the curve...ANGELS, I pray for their protection around my family everyday and last week they were working overtime!
We are all well, School gets out on the 24th and we all are ready!! Kate will graduate on the 27th from preschool. She will wear a cap and gown too. She is really looking forward to this. Her school asked me to bring some baby pictures and as I was going through them, I wondered where the time went. She is so grown up and ready for the next phase of life...I can't believe it.
She and Heston took a gymnastics program at school and will have a "Rock n Roll" performance on Friday, Jon and I will have to miss Josh's game to go, but Josh has had lots of games that the little ones have "suffered" through, so it will be ok to miss.
Please be in prayer for my boss. His name is Jeff Atherton. He is running in the election for Hamilton County Chancery Court (judge) Chancellor. He has a very good chance of winning, but it has been a difficult race to say the least. A few uphill battles -but he has overcome them so far and we just pray that he keeps fighting and wins!! This is most likely mean a change in employment for me too (for the better)...so keep the situation in your prayers.
Hope all is well with all who keep up with the Davis'. Until next time, Cheers!!
