I love seeing my kids step out of their comfort zone and try something new. Today it was Abbey's first basketball practice and Brody's first wrestling practice. I get excited when I think of their potential with each new experience.

I still remember Cloe and Brody's first piano practice, they were so gitty and proud to be old enough to start. Abbey was so nervous to attend her new school with the French immersion program and the thought of her gaining so much knowledge in one year of school makes me so happy for her. It's just a fun part of being a mom, watching your kids realize their talents, interests and just all around being proud of themselves. And I know it means more than we realize when they know we are sitting on the "sidelines" supporting them.
