I Haven't Fallen Off the Face of the Earth
I just wanted to say that I am still here. I have been very busy, and I am also evaluating how I spend my time, particularly the amount of time I spend blogging. I may be back soon (but probably not as frequently as before)!
Just as an added note: my Favorite Boy finishes first grade tomorrow! Where does the time go?

Run!
We've been moving at a fast pace around here! Blogging has taken a back seat, but I do want to take the time to document some of the things that have been going on.
My Favorite Boy participated in the track club at his school this year in preparation for the Music City Marathon. On the last day of track, he won the trophy for most miles earned in first grade. He was very excited about this!
A few days later, he participated in the Music City Kids' Marathon. Before the night of the race, the kids must run 25 miles. They run the final mile at the race. My Favorite Boy had run his miles, but two days before the race, he got sick. He had a fever and felt very badly. Thankfully, he improved enough by Friday to be able to run (although he had to take coughing breaks).
This is the second year he has participated, and he had a great time. Grammy and Papa were here as well, so that made the event even more special.
Before the race, the first grade group from his school huddled up to encourage each other.
And they're off!
When my Favorite Boy crossed the finish line, Jeff Fisher, the head coach of the Titans, was there to give everyone a high five. For my football-loving son, that was one of the highlights! He was also happy with his new medal.
This is just one of the many activities that have been keeping us busy. I'll be back with more soon!

An In-Home Celebration!
Last fall, I applied to be a member of the
Mickey Moms Panel. I was rejected (but so were approximately 19,984 other people, so I didn't feel too badly). Because I applied for the panel, I am now a member of the Mickey Moms Club. As part of this club, I recently had the opportunity to host a Disney In-Home Celebration. Disney sent some fabulous supplies and games, and I invited many of my friends and their children to attend. It was so much fun!
Those of you who have visited my blog for a while have seen my many posts about our trips, so you know how much I enjoy visiting Disney World. Some of you have expressed an interest to me about planning trips of your own, so I thought I would let you know that Disney is now offering their
Free Dining special for parts of August and all of September. This is a fabulous deal (and the free character meals are a dream come true for kids and their parents' budgets), so if you are considering a magical vacation, be sure to check it out. If you haven't read about our Disney experiences, you can click the Disney link the the Categories section of my sidebar. I think you will be able to tell that my family enjoys the Magic!

I'll Enjoy It While It Lasts
My Best Girl is a HUGE mommy's girl. If she could, she would stay with me all the time (and by that I mean every single second, twenty-four hours a day). Whenever I leave her for any reason, it usually involves many hugs, kisses, explanations, assurances, and sometimes tears.
On the other hand, my Favorite Boy has never been very affectionate, even as a baby. And, when given the choice, he usually prefers hanging out with his daddy. That's truly fine with me because I am thankful that he adores his dad and has such a great role model.
Today, however, my Favorite Boy is sick. When he is sick, he is all mine. When he is sick, he will crawl up into my lap, snuggle with me on the couch, and let me hold him for hours. When he is sick, only Mom will do. I am sorry he is sick, and I hope he is well very soon; but today, I plan to enjoy having my Favorite Boy all to myself and taking advantage of his willingness to snuggle. It is a rare treat that I plan to savor!

Still Here
Well, sometimes blogging takes a back seat to living! We have had a lot going on in the last few weeks, and it looks like it will be this way until the end of school. Yesterday, I attended my Best Girl's spring program. The program was entitled "The Lord God Made It All." She wasn't really excited about performing for a large audience, but she enjoyed it. Of course, I thought it was adorable! I'll be back soon with more of what's been going on around here!
