Super Chapter Award!

Dr. Rueter, Texas Council for Exceptional Children President, presents the Sam Houston Student Council for Exceptional Children (chapter 815) with the 2012 Super Chapter Award! I am sooo very proud of our SHSU students..... :) 

And they are off!

The boys set out this morning for Alabama for student ministries camp with First Baptist Church of The Woodlands. Church camp is always an amazing experience for them. I'm so excited for them :)

It's going to be an great week full of fellowship and of course, a little fun at the beach!

Just got back from taking the kids to see Madagascar 3..... Very cute! Even the big boys enjoyed it :)

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day to all those amazing dads out there! Hope your day is filled with lots of love and laughter!

National Innovative Counseling Strategies Conference!

The National Innovative Counseling Strategies Conference was today and I think our presentation went GREAT! It looks like we will add a few more schools to our study and I met some fantastic individuals who share the same passion as I do! Dr. Rose, of course, did his magic and kept our audience engaged with his stories about life teaching before SHSU! LOL!

Days like today remind me that I REALLY DO HAVE EVERYTHING I COULD EVER NEED! What a great day...despite the storms and the last minute trip to SHSU...

Today's swim meet :)

I love hearing this song played....

Give me the heart of a servant, tender and faithful and true. Fill me with love, then use me, Oh Lord, So that the world may see you.

Lots accomplished!

I feel like so much was accomplished this weekend! First, TACT met in Austin and we finalized our Legislative Agenda (YIPPEE...my last legislative duty as VP of Legislative Affairs...on to President -Elect responsibilities). Next, headed to Galveston to work with TAEYC and hand over my duties as Editor for Early Years and take on my new role as VP of Affiliate Relations.... goals set, long term planning complete, strategic plan in place :)
Summer I classes are up and running and grading to date! Lastly, and most importantly...home in time for Sunday night dinner (yummy chicken tacos) and just had to sit in silence and the kids went non stop chatting about what they did when I was gone! You would have thought I was gone for a month! LOL!!!

Fluffers sure loves our garden!

Yummy carrots.... Which now won't be in our chicken soup... Lol!!!

Amazing...

I can not imagine being any place but right here at this very moment sitting on the patio, listening to music, watching Jacqueline swing while chubbs is throwing and chasing his bone and all the squirrels are using our trees and fence as a giant playground..... Life is truly wonderful and I am truly blessed :)
