I'm okay with crazy as long as crazy is only a season and not a lifestyle.
The whirling dervish has slowed to a pleasant breeze and I am finally able to release my grip and enjoy the view.
Here's what our family is celebrating:
1. My oldest daughter attended her first high school Homecoming dance.
Her beauty, inside and out, took my breath away. It was hard on her daddy to see her so grown up.
She went with a group of friends and one of the girls' parents hosted dinner on their back porch. The scene was blog-worthy.
2. Our other amazing daughter decided she'd like to try volleyball this year.
She spent many hours at practice and we became much closer through the various road trips for her games. It was a crazy, wild ride but so worth it.
Her team was good. Really good. As in they never lost a game or even a set. It forced her to play up and was a great challenge for her.
All her hard work and dedication paid off. Over the weekend, her undefeated team won the state championship. So proud of these girls.
The greatest blessing of all wasn't the trophy or title. It was her teammates. My sweet girl had previously endured a year of mean girls but the girls on this team were such a sweet balm to her tattered heart. Yes, so worth the season of crazy for me.3. My baby turned 10 this week. I can hardly wrap my momma-heart around the fact. When he was a toddler I'd see older boys and dread the coming years because I was sure that the sweetness would run out by that age.
I was wrong.
He's all boy. He's tough and wild and free.
But he's still precious and sweet and tender.
What a privilege it is to be his mom.
4. Our newest batch of foster puppies arrived this week.
We are smitten.

Congratulations to your daughter's team! What an accomplishment!!
How on earth do you foster puppies??? How do you give them up? Bless you!
One more thing I meant to say--it's hard when your BABY hits double digits, isn't it?
I have tears. This was so beautiful and I totally understand it all. What beautiful blessings you have.
You have the cutest kids ever. The girls are growing up so much.
Your oldest daughter looked stunning in her dress! And I love how classy and modest her dress was. So elegant and beautiful!!
And little bit with the puppy? Almost too much cuteness for one picture!
Love all these!!!!
