My kids

C

Age- 14
Loves- soccer, iPhone, and going to the movies with his "girl" friend G
Food- typical teen, hates breakfast foods and would eat cold pizza all day
Excels- he is great in Math! I send the other 2 to see him when they need help with their homework, win win!!
What I am always saying- Sit up straight!!!
Strongest trait- Giving heart, would give the shirt off his back to anyone.
One of the best memories- We had a party at our house, one of the dads was chasing his kids around and never had a chance to eat. My sweet C was around 5 or 6, took a hamburger and was trying to slip it into his pocket to take home for later. Was the sweetest thing to see. We always said he would make sure no one would ever go hungry around him.


J

Loves- soccer and hanging out with his soccer buddies

Excels-in reading. Last year he set a record with 530 AR points for the year.
What I am always saying--I will miss you!! That boy is always on the go.
Strongest trait- Confidence, loving
One of the best memories-watching J take his brother into school on his first day. J reached out and took L's hand and off they went. J guided him and told me not to cry he would always be there for L at school. Such a caring and loving big brother.

L
Age 8
Loves- soccer. star wars, football, and being very active
Food- pasta
Excels-in all subjects :)
What I am always saying- tie your shoes!
Strongest trait- giving hugs, always full of love
One of the best memories- When L stood up for one of his best buddies little brother. During a soccer practice L saw his little friend getting pushed around on the playground and he ran off the field to make sure he was ok. He may have pushed the other kid down (which we talked to him about) but just knowing he was so protective of the people he loved was so sweet. He reminded me so much of his Uncle P (who he was named after). He would drop anything to be there to help.  L will always be very protective of the people he loves.
