We have had some major ups and downs, but many great times and accomplishments during that time and guess what!
Today is the day that I'm going to brag it up and show you what we have been loving to do! (you have been warned ;)
The Kids both had birthdays in April and Shawn and I celebrated our 11th Wedding Anniversary!
What more of a blessing could we ask for?
Maybe this crown that Aine received from school?
That's a HUGE accomplishment for this tiny tot!
How about being blessed with a support system that we have never met face to face??
THANKS BETH and FAMILY for the Wonderful surprise!
Liam even shared with his sister!
Another little glimpse of our happiness!
2 Birthday crowns, a wonderful bead from Beads of Courage, a couple reminders of Relentless 2015, and a Warrior Dash metal.
(The T-shirts Shawn wore would be here, but those are items that are returned to the families Shawn represents so they can pull strength from them as Shawn did during the race)
Karate!
Need I say more??
Liam and his one step performance
(a little blib of it anyways)
The kids showing how proud they are of themselves
(As they should be!)
a total of 2 awards each and a Great confidence booster!
Liam receiving his yellow belt!
The trophies from the tournament in their home of honor
Liam finished Awana with glowing reviews.
(the blue lips are from Gatorade :) )
His hard work up close.
The patch on the right is for finishing the starter book, the wings and gems are for completing all the verses in his primary book and having great attendance, the green patch on the left (behind the wings) is for completing his review (which was saying All of the verses in the primary book again.
and the face (Sparky) is for completing all of the extra credit cards in the extra credit book.
And last but not least the ribbon he received for completing his primary book!
Liam is playing soccer and loving it!
A great way to remember where we have been and where we are going!
My mom gave Aine this angel after she was born for me to wear, I no longer wear it because the chain broke. I know I could get another chain, but it doesn't feel right to.
The first rose Shawn gave me (it was in a bouquet of 12 but I didn't save them correctly and this is all that's left.) 2 hearts combined as 1
A half marathon metal and a relentless headband as a reminder that strength is not a weakness!
And last but not least a gold fish that was created by the hands of a kindergartener with a heart of gold!
Over the past year we have met so many wonderful people and feel very blessed with what has been put in front of us and the challenges we have over come!
