Magic Moments

We took family snap shots for 5 minutes. That's all the boys could take. And, for now, it's good enough.  

 The Lollypop Tree was a big deal for Cade. He doesn't remember it growing in the past. Grandmommy told him the origins of the lollypop tree and together they planted the stick and watered it well. Then he waited ALL NIGHT and he woke up to magic. The lollypops were plentiful! When I took pictures of the lollypop tree I didn't have a card in my camera, so I had to steal these pictures from my brother-in-law. opps.

 How is it possible that summer is really just a memory now? Tom and I have been working on getting ready for winter at the cabin. We've put the boats away and raked some leaves already. The dock needs to be brought in but I keep asking for just one more day. Maybe I've said it before, but Tom missed so much time up here during our West Virginia years that being here all summer was a gift. It was like God gave us time back that we lost. This is my favorite place in the world and I can't help but look back on how God works, the plan he had, and how THANKFUL I am that we were not quarantined in West Virginia. I'm rounding up pictures from the summer I want to remember.

 Aiden's soccer team has their last game tomorrow before they head to the championships in Rochester next weekend.They haven't lost a game yet, and they have high hopes! It's been a good season considering the time Aiden spent off the field during the shutdown and he's on a new team with kids he doesn't know well. Aiden has been struggling significantly with seasonal allergies and playing soccer means his sinuses turn into a brick and he's in pain for 2 days while they drain. We've conquered some allergies with acupressure from an amazing doctor, but he's going to an allergist this week and prayerfully the doctor will have some answers for relief. If you think of it, pray for Aiden. He's a trooper, but it's definitely inhibited his ability and discouraged him from what he LOVES.
