First Day Of School!!!

Today is Adam and Jesse's first day of the second grade. Wasn't it just yesterday that we had the little pipsqueaks pose in front of the West Yadkin Elementary sign on their first day of three-year-old preschool?

Both were a little nervous, but went into their respective classrooms without a hitch. I just can't seem to get my arms around the fact that they will graduate high school in 2019. Good grief.

Below, Adam is just being Adam and Jesse is being Jesse ...

Here I am with Adam, the social butterfly ...

DISTRICT-WIDE SUPPORT

Since announcing her plans to seek re-election to the district court bench, Judge Jeanie Houston has received solid backing from each of the counties in the 23rd Judicial District.

Several have sent along statements of support for Judge Houston. Here's what a few had to say:

"Jeanie Houston embodies the qualities that are necessary for high standards in the judicial branch. Her record of nearly 20 years speaks for itself. I join other citizens in recommending that we support the continuation of her service on the bench." -- Rep. George Holmes, North Carolina House of Representatives, Yadkin County

"Jeanie always has her finger on the pulse of what is taking place in her courtroom. She knows how to handle juveniles with a firm hand, but at the same time, with the understanding they deserve." -- Eugene Canter, retired school attendance counselor, Wilkes County

"I have known Jeanie since she was sworn in as a district court judge. I have always found her to be a fair and impartial judge. She is honest and holds her position with integrity." -- Dorothy Shore, retired clerk of court, Yadkin County

"You know what I like about Jeanie? She represents the entire 23rd Judicial District, and has a perspective on things that comes from being raised in a small town just like the rest of us. She does an excellent job on the bench." -- Bob Halsey, retired probation officer, Alleghany County

"Jeanie is more than just a friend. After she and Rick were married, Jeanie has become like a daughter to us. People around here couldn't possibly ask for a better judge." -- James Reynolds, dairy farmer, and wife, Elizabeth, drug store key associate, Alleghany County

"I have known Jeanie for many years, and she has always done a great job. She cares about the people of this county. She's never acted like she's 'above' anyone, and that's one of the best compliments you could give her." -- Jim Hartley, retired sheriff, Ashe County

"As we witness the moral decay of our society and the breakdown of family values, I am grateful for a judge like Jeanie Houston and value the difference her knowledge and experience brings to the bench. She is fair and insightful, and knows how to balance the 'letter' of the law with the 'spirit' of the law." -- Rev. Jimmy Lancaster, pastor, Maplewood Baptist Church, Yadkin County

"As a law enforcement officer, I have worked with Jeanie Houston in her capacity as an assistant district attorney, as well as district court judge. I have found her to be consistently fair, yet compassionate, and an asset to our judicial system." -- William Sands, Ashe County

"Jeanie represents honesty, loyalty and integrity. She is a dedicated Christian who understands the values we hold dear in our district. I am a proud supporter of Judge Jeanie Houston." -- Dr. Tracy Bottomley, PharmD, pharmicist, Wilkes County; resident, Alleghany County

"Nobody can deny Jeanie's experience in the courtroom. She is a tough judge, but very fair. Her common-sense approach is what the people of this district need on the bench." -- Mary Phillips, 23rd Judicial District mediation coordinator; resident, Wilkes County
