. . . . even his daughter personally honored and thanked him at the LCA Sports Awards Banquet.

A great finale to Rachel's (Track and) Field season: Another PR and a 3rd place finish in the discus at the conference meet!
There is something very special about the first Mother's Day that you actually hold your own child in your arms.
Mine was eighteen years ago and I am feeling pretty sentimental......
I am also feeling very blessed to have two "extra" children to call my own even though I did not give them birth.
Thanks to Eric and Tracy, I have been able to enjoy the gifts of children for almost 30 years ~ and now a grandchild too!
(Most days there is not enough room in the bathroom for two young ladies, but on Banquet day, somehow there is more than enough room for all seven ladies.)
The day began with thunder, lightening and driving rains but the showers (almost) stopped just long enough for the festivities
You can dress them up, but . . . kids will be kids!
The end of another chapter . . .
Yesterday marked the 18th year of our Princess Sarah's birth. It was no ordinary day nor one that history will forget.
The celebration began on April 30th with a journey to Pennsylvania for the National Christian School Athletic Association National Track and Field Meet. After a short practice joust, the Lords and Ladies from Lakeland Christian Academy enjoyed a royal feast of pizza at the round table . . . . . followed by a Castle of Cookies.
After ample beauty sleep, Princess Sarah awoke invigorated for a day of friendly competion and comradery. But first, a little good luck with a wave of her magic wand and hugs from her Royal Court.
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Let the May Day competition begin!
And indeed, Sarah and LCA fared well and added more jewels to their crowns.
Five years ago, a certain young lady begged her father to build this faction.
Yesterday, the top five highest scoring senior high females were all proudly represented by LCA and the LCA Senior High Girls won the NCSAA crown.
Jo Boren donned the gold crown as the leading scorer and in her court were the only two remaining ladies from the first LCA track team: Sarah and Jamie Duchane.
Steve certainly felt like a king to have had the opportunity to coach such fine young ladies.
The fairy tale ending is that these two young ladies who have been competing side-by-side for the past five years actually tied for second place and therefore proudly and graciously shared the silver crown.
The Princess returned home in her carriage late last night and had another night of sublime sleep. No peas under this princess' mattress ---- because they were served at today's Royal Feast of Poppyseed Chicken!!!
(The tradition continues)
So now my dear Princess, you must return to reality . . . . . . .but we'll meet you at the castle in July! (Neuschwanstein, here we come)
