Throughout the game, Hudson and his teammates showed determination and played with an incredible amount of heart. Their aggressive plays and strategic moves to set up baskets were truly commendable. However, despite their best efforts, they faced challenges in converting those opportunities into points.
Despite the setback, the boys never lost their spirit. They continued to push forward relentlessly until the very end, demonstrating resilience … (15 comments)

grandson: Happy 11th Birthday Handsome Hudson
- 09/10/23 04:46 PM
It's truly incredible to think that eleven years have passed since the day Handsome Hudson was born! I can still vividly recall how he patiently waited to make his entrance into the world until Geno and I returned from our Mediterranean vacation. It was an exhilarating and unforgettable time for our family!
I have to credit Sharon Tara for inspiring me to create collages for my grandchildren. I cherished her collages so much that I began crafting them for Hudson when he turned four. I took the time to go back to earlier photos and created a collage for the first three … (32 comments)

Friday evening unleashed a whirlwind of excitement as Beautiful Beckett geared up to celebrate her ninth spin around the sun. Accompanied by her fearless trio of friends, they hit the club pool for swimming and post the soggy shenanigans, the mini-party regrouped at Beckett's, ready to undergo a complete transformation into their Barbie ensembles. The girls were about to hit the local cinema – for a date with the iconic "Barbie" movie, then a sleep over!
However, there was a subplot brewing in the shadows. Handsome Hudson, firmly put his foot down against the Barbie bonanza. This gave me a chance to … (25 comments)

grandson: Serendipity Sundays ~ Sweet Success

This week Handsome Hudson and his basketball team made it to the Championship playoff in the Northwest Austin Youth League for fourth graders! It was an exciting game and Hudson’s team played well and paced themselves against the other top team. They weren’t making their baskets but they still won 22-11!
They tore off their green team shirts to don their blue championship team shirts and proudly took their photos! The green shirts were scattered on the gym floor but they were too excited to notice! I love that Hudson wants to share his big win with his sister!

It is hard to believe it has been ten years since Handsome Hudson was born! I still remember he waited to arrive until Geno and I came home from our Mediterranean vacation. It was such an exciting time for our family!
Sharon Tara made collages for her grandchildren which I loved so much I started making collages for Hudson when he was four. It is fun going back to reminisce each year.

grandson: Tuesday's Treasures ~ A Quiet Moment
- 11/09/20 06:25 PM
Handsome Hudson is sitting out in front of his house immersed in his studies before dinner. Sometimes it takes concentration in a quiet, calm spot away from the distractions of sister and his family to really comprehend an assignment.
I often marvel at how just yesterday it seemed Hudson came into this world and how quickly I'm watching him morph into a young man. I’m remembering a line my Geno read me from his favorite author, Robert Frost, and learning to enjoy those middles.

A beautiful week-end in Austin! Grandson's 21st birthday celebration was fun as well as watching Hudson's soccer game. Stopped to visit with Geno at his grave site and glad to see they cleared all the fresh flowers that had wilted. He's resting under the shade of oak trees and the sky was blue and sun was out so almost felt his presence.
The Horns barely won their game and Clemson came out on top again.... Family is happy!

grandson: Serendipity Sundays ~ Basking after the big win
- 10/19/19 07:00 PM
Handsome Hudson's soccer team on Saturday morning gave it their all..everyone of them. They were facing a big rival who was also undefeated and they focused on their game, team work and beat them soundly! They were all in!
After each game their coach (the blond lady in the blue) sits down as they eat their treats praising each player for their contribution and passes out stickers. It was amazing how she recalled each play of the game! Hudson listened intently and was excited to receive his sticker and his praise on team work.

grandson: Thankful Thursdays ~ All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
- 10/16/19 07:35 AM
Handsome Hudson came home from school a few weeks ago missing his other front tooth. Just last month when rough housing with his buddies he lost the first one!
He's finding it a little challenging to talk and eat but I feel he's got this and hopefully by Christmas he'll have his two front teeth back! Of couse his tooth fairy pillow went under his pillow that night and she paid a visit.
