Dillon Graduates Home-School

It's hard to believe Dillon has graduated high school.  Aside from a few years in various schooling types, he has been home-schooled since 1st grade.  There were days and even years I though this boy would NEVER see graduation; either because he wouldn't do the work for various excuses or because I was gonna kill him! :)  At any rate, he (we) made it!  I am so proud of him!   I LOVE YOU DILLON!!!!!  It's time you spread your wings and fly, my little boy...I mean...young man. This makes me sad.        

Ben's Future Girlfriend

Dillon has been dating Annie for 2 years now.  Benjamin adores Annie.  In fact, he playfully claims her as his own.  Yesterday, when kids were outside playing while Annie was over, someone was talking to Ben about his girl friend.  He told them, "Annie's my girlfriend, Dillon and I share her. But when I turn 16, Mom is gonna find me my own girlfriend." He went on to say a whole bunch of other cute stuff...but that's where my ears stopped, because my heart was blessed by my sons innocent convictions.  I instantly thought, "WOW!! I must be doing something right."  It is so like God to use those little moments in our lives to encourage us to press on toward the goal.  I don't know that I will actually pick his girlfriend, who knows what God has for that, he's only 5 years old right now.  But he subconsciously knows his Momma gonna have something to say about his future Ms.Right.  I have been praying for all of my children's future spouses.  That God would be training them up getting them ready for a future with our children when His time is right.  And I will continue to pray to the end...
