Wordless Wednesday…Budding Astro?!

 

Watching Raffe explore his world has been a blessing and a joy.  He’s gone from wanting to be a garbage collector to operating heavy construction equipment to becoming the next Houston Astro. 

 

 

(Each child chooses his “walk up” music! This is his!!)

 

Who knows where he’ll end up!  His mother told me that he’s also expressed an interest in football!!!  



You can”t stop your children from growing up but you can be present so you don’t miss your children growing up.

Good morning Kathy,

I love the video of Raffe! He is making choices and trying out different sports...all good! Love how they change their mind on what they think they might want to be when their young! With every new experience they get a taste of something else and it fuels their imagination! The family's support is what gives him the freedom to ponder, explore and experience life and all it has to offer! So glad you and Larry are part of it all!

Dorie Dillard Austin TX I love the life my niece and her husband provide for Raffe. He is being exposed to so much!  And, through his baseball, my niece is learning about it as well.

Good morning, Kathy...  Love hearing about how Raffe keeps changing his mind about his future profession. And this quote says it all:

Good morning Kathy. Brandon Janus may have summed it up best. You can't put a detour that will last in a child's growth. you can be there to offer guidance. Enjoy your day.

Hi Kathy,
Raffe may change his mind a few more times before the time comes to finally decide "what to be when he grows up."  Or, maybe not. He just might be a Houston Astro in the future. If that happens YOUR game time anxiety will get even higher. 😂

Carol Williams who knows what direction he'll take!  At least he's being exposed to different sports, places, etc.

Raffe's career aspirations are nothing short of inspiring, Kathy.  I see a bright future for him.

Love seeing Raffe exploring new things and having so much fun in the process. This reminds me of my nephew that was so into sports as a kid and you'd think he was a soccer player for real! Everywhere he went so did that ball.  Now he's in college and traveling the world and who knows where he'll end up.   Like Raffe....his parents and you guys are all a big part of his journey and I can only imagine how fun it is watching him along the way!

Hi Kathy:

Love the video! Raffe is finding his way and who knows where that will lead. There are so many opportunities for him.

Love the quotes but especially Lady Bird Johnson's!
