When sweet Lucy Pearl was born 3 1/2 years ago, she stole our hearts...she is a charmer, for sure!

Our 6th-grader Karter officially began his Shenandoah basketball career this week.

Nothing puts me in a holiday mood better than children...I'm especially partial to the 11 beautiful grandchildren with whom God has blessed me.

God has gifted our 9 1/2-year-old grandson Kaden in many ways, including fantastic academic abilities.

Summer came and went in a too-fast whirlwind and, just like that, a new school year has begun for most of our grandchildren.

My niece Emma is the newest graduate of the Gray family clan, Floyd Central High School Class of 2019.

My best birthday gift...my daughter Emily, who teaches mathematics at Shenandoah High School, was honored as the Henry County Teacher of Excellence.

How to make a gal feel old?  Attend the kindergarten graduation of the Class of 2031.

My oldest grandson Karter is finishing up his final elementary year (YIKES!) and one of his favorite activities the last two years has been SES Choir.

I may be a tad bit biased, but that kid in the Santa hat is the cutest thing ever!
