What we have been up to....

Thank you ALL for the awesome comments on our OUT posting! I will keep all the comments for him to read as he gets older. Our family and friends, near and far, have been SO supportive of this addition to the family. We are blessed beyond words. Thanks just doesn't seem to cover it.

This weekend was the final high school football game and was senior night. What a great night for the kids. Tears shed - lots of blue and gold - corsages - can it get better than that? The youth football banquet was last night. What a fun event! The awards were given, and Alli won the MERIT PRIZE! I was proud of her! After yummy food (the best cake I have had in a while) and festivities, there was a DJ. The kids did everything from the cha-cha slide to that darn Superman song. They had so much fun. My favorite part of the evening was when the VP had the kids go into the center of the room and huddle together - ALL OF THEM - and started saying, "Who are WE?" as the kids answered, "FREEPORT!' I seriously teared up. Those kids play and cheer so hard all season, so it is easy to be proud. I posted pictures from the evening below.

I did want to give a Shout Out to a wonderful friend of mine, Miss Cherrie, for the AWESOME outfits she got for Mario. He will look so cute in his blue and gold! And to her daughter, and my little Junior cheerleader - Miss Jenna - THANK YOU for the photo in the frame. I put it right next to the photo of Mo. I look up there 200 times a day, so I will think of you ALL of the time! You have a thoughtful family and are valued friends. I seriously feel like Cherrie is about as excited for this baby as I am. I can see her stalking the house when he comes home and peaking through the windows - lol!


The Leskos (as taken by Miss Cherrie!) Not long before we are a family of FOUR!


Alli, Alexa (Lexie) and Lauren - Alli's best girlfriends and squad members.

These are just the sweetest girls.

Alli doing the "hide the braces" grin!



The cutie patootie outfits for Mario!


The one says "daddy to the rescue!"

THANKS MISS JENNA!

A random photo of Murry thinking he is crafty climbing into the chair to sit and eat with us at the dinner table... what a dog!
