Her program was cute, she was one of the three that got to lead the pledge and the National Anthem and she did a great job saying her memory verse and singing their songs. She is so proud to be going to school with Josh next year, and as always, Josh is going to look out for her at school. I DO feel comforted knowing he will be there on her first day and that maybe she won't feel so alone. I remember Josh's first day of school. Awe...the memories. I can't believe he is going into the th grade. Josh and Kate are definitely my more independent children. Josh would always welcome a new setting and Kate has been generally open to new settings too. They have always done well adjusting. (Heston does well adjusting, but he does tend to cry and be more dependant than the older 2). I will be comforted to know that Katelyn will be there for him when he starts Kindergarten. They may all fight all the time, but when it comes down to it, they really love each other and have each others backs. I hope that they remain close all the way through adulthood. Last week I took them to the park before church. Heston fell and Kate got to him as fast as she could when she realized he was hurt. (nothing a band aid could not cure) We are blessed to have 3 great kids!!
Josh made the honor roll again and we are proud of his grades. As you all know, he is playing All Stars Baseball this summer. Wednesday, at practice, he was hitting the ball to the fences (more than once) so I think he is getting better and better. Normally, when they get used to a position and batting, the season ends, so I am excited to have him see some wins and see his talent in a new way. This is going to be a fun and memorable experience for him.
Heston is just Heston. He is getting more and more personality with each passing day. He definitely has a sense of humor, and as he is able to talk more and learn more words we are really getting to see a new side of him.
Jon is working in town for now. His company may not be able to keep him in town for long, but we have agreed that if it comes down to his traveling or quitting his job he will quit. We have officially opened All Glass and Mirror, we have gotten our business license, opened a business checking account and put our advertisement in the phone book in hopes that if "all else fails" he can make some money working for himself. We have really been praying about this and of course in this economy it is hard to find a job, much less open a new and successful business. With the strong possibility of my job changing, I am going to need Jon to have a more flexible job because mine won't be so flexible if I move to the courthouse.
One other thing...Jon went today and applied for Josh's new social security card. He is officially Joshua Wayne Bryan Davis (no more McFarland, ever!) and he also applied for his social security card. His was stolen in Terrell, TX in 2003, right before we were to fly to New Jersey for the holidays-along with his drivers license-some of you might remember that horrible story! He has not had even a copy of his social security card since then.
Well that is all the exciting news for the day-week...whatever. So until next time...Cheers!
