Today's Magic Number Is.... NINE!

NINE...

...The number of lives a cat has.

...The number of balls on a billiards table.

...The number of men on a baseball field.

...The number of tiles in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe.

...The number of choirs of holy Angels (to us Catholics).

...The number of Supreme Court Justices.

...The number of days that have passed since I got a wild thought and had my hair cut off (5 1/2 inches in all).

...The number of days I wish could fit in a week.

...The number of days left for the 2010-2011 school year. (Emmalie will graduate from Kindergarten and move up to all-day classes as a First Grader. While Dalton will graduate from the 8th Grade and become an official High School Freshman!)

...The number of years Tony and I will have been officially married come the end of this month!

It has been so very busy, but we are making time to enjoy every moment of memory-making while we can...

Emmalie... Little Miss Gym-Tastic
Did her first front handspring last Saturday - no pic though!

Bethanie... Little Miss Fearless
She gives the boys in class a run for their money on gutts:)

A field full of aspiring track stars...

Dalton... The Hurdle King
The coaches had him teach the other hurdlers
how it's done because of his great form... COOL!

First Place...!!!!!

Dalton takes some advice from his favorite coach... DW

Out of the Blocks! Run, Dalton.... Run!
(Wait... that's Forest Gump, huh?!)

Dalton showing his impatience
waiting for the relay to start

Despite the hectic life we live...
There's always time for peace and faith!

It's a statue Bethie! The ears don't come off!
