Connor can drive!

It is hard to believe Connor is already 15 years old.  Along with that comes the privilege of getting a permit and driving.  Connor took and passed his permit test on Monday, March 21.  He isn't as excited to drive as many teenagers are.  He is cautious and very aware that driving isn't a game and has consequences if it isn't taken seriously.  He has gotten some time behind the wheel driving in the neighborhood and non-high traffic roads.  He does a good job.  He has also gotten more confident each time.  At first he was quite nervous.  The adventure begins.

Time Flies

Hard to believe it has almost been a year since I posted anything.  At that time I had good intentions of posting more regularly to capture things going on throughout the year.  Well, I am going to try again. We are getting close to another new school year.  Connor is a senior!  I am still trying to wrap my head around it.  The time has gone so fast.  We went to several open houses for friends of his that graduated this year.  It makes me sad even though I know it is a part of life.  Part of starting up this blog again is to help me put my feelings down as we go through the journey of life.  Cody is starting 8th grade.  One last year of middle school. Both boys make me so proud.  They both continue to play hockey.  Cody is still a goalie and does such a good job in a tough position.  Me, on the other hand...being a goalie mom is not easy.  Almost a year ago my grandma moved in with us.  I am blessed to stil...

Hard to believe...

Here I am again.  This time I really need to keep up with this.  I am writing this with a son in his junior year of high school and a son in 7th grade.  With each school year I have more emotions.  As each year passes I am more aware of how fast time is going as well as how the time with my boys is getting shorter. Cody loves to sing and has performed at Pure Rock Studios and also sang the National Anthem this summer at a soccer game.  I am proud of his willingness to perform in front of an audience even thought it can be nerve wracking and intimidating. Connor is now a licensed driver and has a girlfriend.  Her name is Riley.  I really like his girlfriend.  It is hard to believe he only has two years of high school left.  I think I am in denial.  This year we will probably take a look at colleges.  It is still so hard to believe. Both boys are still playing hockey.  Cody is still playing goalie and loves it.  His co...

Man to Man

Cody is in his last year of elementary school.  It is also that time of year when the 5th graders will learn about family life and human sexuality.  Oh boy.  I had to sign the permission slip yesterday for Cody to return indicating that we are of aware of the information that he will be learning about.  As parents, we are encouraged to have open communication with them regarding this if they happen to have any questions or concerns.  I asked Cody if he had anything he wanted to ask, and he quickly responded "No!"  I said, "that's okay, you can always talk to your dad about it too" to which he replied, "yes, man to man."  I said yes, like that.  He cracks me up!
