Friday Reflections

So "Random Friday" is on hiatus this week. Instead, I have decided that we'd do "Friday Reflections" today.

Tomorrow is Districts for Dak's CC season. As you know, he has had quite a week and quite a season.

He is feeling better, but still not 100%. But we're praying for him and knowing that he will do his very best tomorrow. We are just so thankful that it looks like he will be able to run.

He is going to go for a run after school today and see how he does.

We are so proud of him and his accomplishments in CC this year.

Here are some pics of the season.

He has won several medals and ran his personal best at the biggest Meet of the year. Incredible!! Yes it has been quite a year.

We have a wonderful Christian coach. I am so thankful for his influence and love for these kids.

Every year the night before Districts, he and his wife hosts all the team and their families in their home for pasta and fun. It is always so much fun. They never let you bring anything, they just want you to come. They are generous and lovely people. Thanks Coach and Mrs. Coach McNabb. Ya'll are GREAT!!!

Since I'm reflecting today, I thought I'd do a little reflecting on past Halloween costumes for Dak. I wish I had LOTS of pics to show you, but my scanner thingy is not hooked up to my laptop, so I can't scan right now. Bummer. But I wanted to reflect on my fav Dak costume from over the years, and I have a few. But my fav was when he was 2. Probably because it was so sweet and what he wanted to be.

We asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween and he said, "corn-da-cob mama" (his fav food at the time =) ~~ well of course you do, my sweet fair haired boy. So "corn-da-cob" it was, and this mama went to work.

I got a green footie pajama and went to the drug store and bought some yellow cotton balls and start sewing. I had sewed yellow cotton balls onto that onsie until I thought my fingers were a pin cushion. And on Halloween a very proud of his costume Dak, donned his corn-da-cob. Every where he went, he left a trail of "corn". It was so stinkin' cute. He had very light hair then, and we gelled his hair to look like the husks on the cob. It was my most fav costume of all time. I have one pic of him in this outfit. (Before the day of digital camera's). And when I can I will scan that baby. It was just the sweetest thing.

So that is one of my most fav memories of Halloween. I'm never been a fan of the scary stuff, but I love to see all the sweet little costumes that kiddos wear as they come to the door. Terrific!!!

Have a Beautiful and Blessed Weekend,
