family, football, and lots of fun.....also, a big thank you to our friends and family!

we had a great weekend full of family time, football and fun. freddie played the defending champions of his league and beat them at least 40-0 ( i stopped counting after 40). Freddie played amazingly well. he scored 3 of the touchdowns, a two point conversion and passed for the other touchdowns. One of his passes was for over 40 yards and another touchdown. this was all done in terrible conditions. we are experiencing lots of rain and wind from TS "Kyle" that is pounding the East Coast. i brought my video camera, like i always do, but was unable to film because of the rain. we are gathering video from each game to compose a highlight film for freddie to give to his new high school coach for next year. since we will be living in a different state, the coach needs to be able to see freddie's performance as an 8th grader to have a better understanding of his ability when he tries out for the new school. we are very proud of him both athletically and academically(he continues to make honor roll while taking HS courses).

The rest of our weekend consisted of watching more football on tv, friends over to watch the debate, and church. I am really blessed to have such a wonderful family. Thanks to my in-laws for continuing to lift my family up in prayer and for your amazing and uplifting support of our endeavors. fred has been blessed to have you both in his life since birth. i thank God for allowing you to be in the rest of my life. our children could not have been given better grandparents. to the rest of our friends and family that continue to support fred in his school, me in my responsibilities and our children in their endeavors, we are truly blessed to have people like you in our lives.
