Cheers and Tears

Lizzy has again made the St. Louis High School Cheer Team.  The JV squad attends cheer camp at McNeese State University the first weekend in June.  It is so fun to go and watch Lizzy and her team perform.  They work so hard in the preceeding weeks to get ready for this weekend competition.  AND.... it definitely showed - they won 1st place all-around plus many other accolades.  They are pretty amazing.

As soon as Cheer Camp was over it was off to Camp Champions (summer camp) for 3 weeks.  This is where the tears come.  Lizzy has grown into such a beautiful young lady and we have a very special relationship.  I so enjoy being with her and have come to depend on her alot over the last few years.  When she is gone it is like being without my best friend.  She loves summer camp and I want her to experience it every summer.  It is just so hard to be without her - without any communication other than snail mail.  I can't wait til she comes home.  I am definitely looking forward to sharing this amazing journey to China to get Mia with her.  She is sooooo special!
