End of the Season Win

This guy wrapped up his 5th grade basketball season, too.

This team learned so much this year.

Their record (not sure what it was) sure does not reflect their effort.

They learned new plays, worked hard as a team, and kept on trying

even when getting defeated during some games.

 They last game of the season turned things around and they got

a solid win over Shoals!

Aunt Polly and Morgan and Ethan came to watch this game and they chose a good one to see!

Great group of kiddos, missing Daniel

Quality Time

I continue to enjoy teaching middle school Sunday class.

We have a mix of kids 10-12 every week, love using the lessons and finding a way

to highlight them with an activity.  I used the supply closet at church and some watercolors.

We made some foam verse hearts and it fit well for my day with just gals!

Joe and Tyson built a domino trail on Grandma's cabinets after lunch one winter Sunday.

And Sam and I worked on a puzzle - see his frown?  He is really kinda serious about puzzles

and doesn't enjoy others helping.  We need to work on that, ha.

He is very good at puzzles and works intently choosing a piece based on color and then turning it over and over again to fit.  I work them much differently observing (probably too much) - I am not near as effective!  A card game of Rook is going on in the background.

We stopped by the see these babes on the way home.

Love our time with them watching them grow.

And I was able to spend another morning with these kids.

The snuggle is real here.

Mama got to take a short (brisk) walk for fresh air, it was a bit colder then we thought

when they headed out.  But, the sun and fresh air was good - and I enjoyed snuggle time with Quinn.

It's been 10 YEARS

How could it be?

10 years.

January marks the start of our 10th year in business...

2009-2019.

It is nearly impossible for me to believe.

But, it is also so much to celebrate.

So much to be thankful for and continue to work hard for!

We have so much left to do - but we paused to celebrate.

We had a fun coffee bar and donuts in the morning and punch and cookies for the afternoon.

We had many people stop by the help us celebrate.

We are so thankful for each of them.

We had give away with some loyal customers coming to register!

This original crew.  We had some crazy fun times at the pharmacy back in those early days.

Tee hee.  Oh my.  

And these babes weren't even a mere twinkle when we opened 10 years ago -

but then we prayed them here and continue to love and pray for them.

Thankful for loyal customers who brought cheer and a thank you card.

We've added a couple VERY IMPORTANT and VALUABLE team members.

So thankful for each one of these faces.

And this guy and his dad who stopped by - he was a tiny babe when we opened!  Ugh

cue the memories.  

We shared our goodies the next day with our local doctors offices.  

We love working with them and serving the community together!

So thankful for 10 years serving this community.  

So much more to accomplish, but so thankful

for where we have come from!
