celebrating diversity within the Sublett house


We value the differences between our kids, even those that distance them from who we thought they'd be.

I played baseball through college. Levi decided that this year he's not playing baseball. OK, not that big of a deal, really. I love the sport, but he doesn't have to! He's landed a role in a pretty cool musical (The Sound Of Music) done by a top-notch local theater. He is learning to play guitar, and he totally destroys me at Madden.

Kim's a Mary Kay Sales Director, former sorority girl, and a self-proclaimed "floofy girl." Lilly couldn't be happier than when she's saving worms from getting stepped on when they end up on the porch, or when she's saving a slug who crawled out on the road..."Hey, I think he peed on me!" she says with a smile...

I wish that I had taken pictures of Sadie last Friday night. She'd been asking to go rock climbing for a couple of months. We grabbed some gear and headed to the Y for a first attempt for her. She loved it. She never complained of the height, never said, "I can't..." never got tired of trying. She climbed every moment that I wasn't trying, and even a couple of times when Pete would belay her. As the night went on, she got more confident, stronger, and more adept at the nuances of climbing.

Who knows, maybe we have a climber in the house.

I love our family!
