NYE

 

Happy New Year!

2023.

Mike and MJ both had to work on NYE and the next day was Sunday, so it did put a bit of a damper on our celebrating, but we managed to get a bit in.

His favorite thing was a homemade noise maker-made out of a plastic water bottle.

Levi was thrilled that his team won!

Wishing you and yours a blessed, healthy, prosperous New Year!

7 MONTHS

 

This guy turned 7 months not too long ago.

Crazy how fast it goes!

He started crawling late in the 6th month,

has two little bottom razors teeth, and is determined to pull himself up on just about everything.

He has tasted a bit of "people" food but not much at this point.

Overall, he is a pretty happy guy 

and we're so thankful for him!

BASKETBALL

A new venture for us this year.

The 3 middle boys are playing basketball with the Upward program.
I had heard that it is fairly low key and practice just once a week, so figured we'd give it a shot.

Of course, its 45 minutes away and practice is from 7-9 PM and games are EVERY Saturday NIGHT!

whew.

We'll make it.

I was NOT expecting evening games.

They had all 3 boys on different teams with overlapping practices, but a friend pointed out that one of the boys had practice at a different location.  So, being that I cannot be at three different places at once, we moved one of the boys to another team.

So far, all is well.

Well, except for the fact that Grant cut his finger and had to get stitches and is missing practice and the first game already.   

One of the nice things about this program is that it is Christian based.

The head coach gathers everyone mid-way through practice and they read a Bible verse, do a brief meditation and pray.

Can't beat that!

Hope you have a great season boys!
