Ten Years of Dogs

Bella's Gotcha Day was Friday February 20 2016. This week marked 10 years of being dog people. Amazing to look back and see how she has changed and how the boys have over the last decade. 



She's the leader of our little group of fur babies. And such a sweetheart!

First Outdoor Track Meet

The first outdoor track meet of Wesley's IMG season was at Braden River HS today for the Pirate Booty Invitational. He had a nice cheering section with me and Grandmommy, plus Vicki and Ellen from church in these awesome shirts! (Jump Wesley Jump) 





Wesley was seeded 2/34 kids in the meet. He camp in at 1.62 and cleared it on the first attempt. 
Then he cleared 1.72, 1.82 and 1.87 all on first attempts. This was his 1.87 jump. 


He couldn't quite get over 1.92. But he finished second overall for the meet!!!! And no shin splint pain today which is great.

Fort Myers to Boca Grande to Bradenton

My week started with worship at Cypress Lake UMC in Fort Myers. Their children's choir sang, they had a baptism and they were recognized for being one of the top givers to the children's home. 




On the way home I popped by Boca Grande for a quick visit, including a labyrinth and a walk on the beach. 


Tuesday we had a district staff meeting over lunch. So nice to gather all in one space together. 


For Ash Wednesday, I was at Trinity UMC in Bradenton as a mobile office and got my ashes there from our former intern, Robert Bledsoe who is the pastor there.

Impromptu Beach Trip

After a few church meetings yesterday, I stopped by Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island for a labyrinth walk and a walk down to the lighthouse and the beach. It was so good to get out and stretch.
