Preseason Tournament

Ethan had his last tournament playoff game last night until the final tonight. We are not sure if we are in the losing bracket or winning bracket because there are 3 teams who went 1-2 and one team who went 3-0. Anyway Ethan did fairly well last night. He went 2-4 last night. One of the hits was a line drive right back up the middle. It was a sweet hit. The team lost 17-14.

Let the Games Begin

Here it goes!

Two girls in soccer and One boy in Baseball. This week Ethan will finish his tournament and we'll see when his next practice will be. He has Opening Ceremonies on Friday and then we should get a regular season schedule for the games. Jamie and Katherine will be starting soccer this Friday and Saturday. Jamie is excited. She is having so much fun playing soccer. This is her first year. Katherine, also, is having fun. This is her second year. Luckily we have Wendy's sister that can help if we get in a jam and vice-versa for her, too. Kim has 2 girls in soccer and 1 boy in baseball. It almost lines up with our children except for the oldest girl being a little older than Jamie. I'll add some pictures a little later - I am sure we'll have plenty to add.

Baptism and Party for Katherine

Our Snow Day!!!!

Today was the first day of snow this year. It really came down this morning with big snowflakes. Roads were bad enough to miss church today, so we all went out to enjoy the day as a family. We had a good time.
