I'm feeling old




Well Sunday came and went just like any other day. Except for the fact that my little boy turned 15. Man does that make me feel old. Hard to believe that my son who just like yesterday was amazed at watching basketball while I held him up. Kade has grown up to be such a fine young man that his Mom and I are so proud of. Most of you know that I get all caught up in sports especially with my kids. Kader made Varsity as a Freshman. Here is a picture of his first game. I'm not the photographer of the family but it was recorded. But in my time of reflection of all that he has accomplished with his baseball career it is not what I'm most proud of. I thank God daily for the family that he has given me. Kade is an example of his Mother's guidance. It was my hope that all of my kids grow up to be successful in whatever field that they choose and to put God first in their lives. I know that this is Kade dominant and not to leave out Drewboy and Macy but he has reached an age that I feel confident that the mold has set for him on how he will take on anything that life has to throw at him. I only pray that everyone has the experience that I have had with my kids.

Cox Family News:

Kade just finished basketball season last week- now...it's time for golf and baseball. Tomorrow is his first golf game? Or is it tournament? Whatever you call it, he's going to go PLAY GOLF!!!! He's really excited to play baseball for the school team this year. I think his first game will be Thursday.

Drew is playing "Little Dribblers" with a team from Pewitt. He LOVES IT! Recently Jr. got concerned because he wasn't playing hard, sluggish, or whatever...Of course, my first thought was Jr. was expecting a little much from our little boy...but, then I started noticing the same thing around the house...turns out he had MONO! And there we were pushing him to "Come on Drew, Push Harder, RRRRRRRUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!" Call us bad parents...Who Knew???!!! Anyway, he's in 5th Grade and loving it!

Macy is thrilled- She's playing baseball this year for the first time...she's wearing her Daddy out practicing! And, she's ready to PLAY, NOW!!!! It's kind of hard to get her to understand, ok, you haven't even gotton drafted to be on a team! She's just soooo excited!

We are all excited for Jr.. He recently became the Branch Manager for the bank he works for. The branch is in Atlanta...about 35 minutes from home. He really enjoys working there. We are really proud of him and excited about this new opportunity!

Me? Well, let's see...I love being the sport's MOM! (It's busy, but I love it!) I'm still teaching Kindergarten. It's a new adventure every day- I can honestly say I never know what I'm walking into each day. --So, I look at it this way - I don't get bored! I'm looking forward to this summer...Kade and I are going on a mission trip with our church to Brazil! I went to Brazil in ... I think it was '96 or '97,but I think I am more excited about this trip because Kade will be going too! Of course we had to make sure the trip could work around Camp Deer Run- and so it does! Looks like our boys will be there 4th.

So there it is...an update- IT'S A MIRACLE!
