So we came to see her play soccer for college. We have watched her play since she was 6, watched her mature, cry, get hurt, go to endless practices, come home exhausted only to do homework...and it was all heading for this time of her life when she would hopefully play for college! And all of our dreams came true. We raised our kids to be Christians...but more than that a 'sharp' Christian. That you should represent God in an incredible way...good was not enough. Be the best, be sharp, be excellent and never ever back away from serving God. It was like a pep talk for soccer except it was a pep talk for life and serving God.




But all was not lost...we had our kids over to our oldest son's apartment and cooked a roast and potatoes dinner with all the fixin's, gravy, biscuits. It was wonderful!
Below from left to right is our daughter in law's brother, then Whitney our daughter, our middle son Cardiff (Cardiff by the Sea, Wales...) Stephanie our daughter in law, and Blake our oldest.


Blessings,
Debbie

Glad you had a great time! Sorry she got hurt! YUCK! Did her team win? I'm so glad you got to visit with the whole gang!

Your daughter is beautiful. I love her smile. I think she looks like you a lot.
Sorry to hear she got an injury right off the bat, but I hope she is okay now.
That is neat that you were able to get all the kids together for dinner. Nice family!!
Hi there. I have a blog on miniatures but recently discovered your fantastic blog through Marsha of Sassy Dolls and you are truly inspiring with all your fab craft ideas! I love the Fall and Halloween and cant wait to try out your ideas.
Sorry to hear about your daughter, hope she is ok now. At the end of the day all that matters is her health isnt it and you have a stunning daughter and wonderful family there!
Lovely to visit your blog from the UK, Kate xx
Oh, dear. I am sorry that she got hurt. Can she play the rest of the season?

You go ahead and brag all you want Momma....I love it! Hope her ankle is better
Your family is incredibly handsome! I can tell from the way you write that you have been instumental in instilling values in them. That is why you are so sure who loves their mother's!!! :-) What a great lady you are!!
I hope Whitney heals up so she can play again soon. At least you were there for her. Maybe that is why she cried. She knew you were there...
My Abigail left for school in August. I have seen her once and it is breaking my heart (she is the baby of the family). They are so mature on one hand and then clinging on the other. I just miss her but want her to have this experience. I guess we have something in common, Debbie!

You have an absolutely beautiful family and it sounds like their inner beauty shine through too. So glad that you got to spend time with everyone.

Were there leftover:)
Have a great day!

Debbie,
You and your husband had to be so disappointed. It looks the family enjoyed the home cooked meal though.
Not only is your daughter beautiful on the outside (she looks exactly like you) but I know she is exactly the same on the inside.
Hugs, Gretchen
Aww what a disappointment, but it sounds like a wonderful visit in the end!!
