At the beach

Josh got to visit with Uncle Mike and Aunt Sue while he was traveling to Cali. (They live in Florida, so a very odd route.  But thankful for them to be available for his 8 hour layover.)

Senior Year

So my youngest is entering his senior year at Calvary Christian Academy in Philadelphia.  He will be the last of my children that will graduate from this school. 
He asked me yesterday if I was sad.  I am not.  I am excited to see what God has for our family as we end an era and begin a new one.
Seasons come and go all the time.  And while it is great to remember moments from them, we must not look back too long or we will miss what is right in front of us. 
This is going to be epic.  I cannot wait to see how the Lord will work.

Junior Update

Josh is finishing up his Junior year at CCA.  Here are some highlights for him:

Josh went to Banquet (like prom) with Sona (who is wearng navy blue). Here are some his classmates.

Every year CCA honors those students who achieve academic excellence.  Josh on stage receiving one of his.

Josh is the one in pink shirt walking to the stage.

While there they attended a ceremony for Hannah (white dress) for National Honor Society

Some of the guys for banquet - Ian, Josh, Sam, Nathan, Josiah . (I know I am biased but seriously they could all be teenage models!!!)

Me and my boy - The shrimp and the Jolly green giant

Josh being congratulated my Gabe (son 2.0)

It is because of these fine young men that my youngest thrives.  They are Tate, Ian, Josh, Sam, Mattias, Gabe, Ian, Josiah, and Nathan (slightly chopped out of picture)

Oh to know what was said to have Josh bending over in laughter.  Love love love these guys.

Nathan, Josh, Sam (peaking over shoulder) Josiah, Gabe . (Just as an aside those are all Josh's awards)!!!

I cannot stress enough how much CCA means to my family.  We are so blessed to have this as an option for education for our children.
