Wrapping it up...

Lately it has been so hard for me to find the time to get my blogs updated. I feel like I am never finding the time to get on facebook either. It's shocking when all of a sudden you take the time to catch up & find out so much is new with your friends! Sometimes I feel like I just rush through blogs so that I can just keep things updated. It's the times that I can really sit down & process my thoughts that I remember why I started doing this in the first place! It's fun to go back & remember special times spent together as a family. Since I never find the time to scrapbook anymore either, I imagine one day I'll use these blogs as my time table when I do scrap again. I sometimes fear that when my kids are all grown up & out of the house, I'll be hit hard with boredom! It will hit fast, that's for sure. Jim & I won't know what to do with our time, as right now we are in the lifestyle of eating quick meals & rushing out the door to get to one or multiple kids activities. Although I complain, I thoroughly enjoy this time in our lives! I love watching my kids play sports & even more so, love watching them excel at things they put their minds to. We are just in the process of wrapping up basketball. Sean finished up his season undefeated. (well, first game was tied) We're really not suppose to keep track of score, but everyone knows each kid does! Lauryn's team just finished up their season last weekend. They came in 3rd place at the State tournament. We had a blast watching them play the #1 seed team & beat them. These girls came a long way since the first game of the season. Lauryn became a rebound champion. And she has found a new love for the game. I love how sports can add so much confidence in these children. Zach also finished up basketball this weekend. He played his State tournament as well. Saturday they played a couple rough games, but ended up having a great game Sunday morning. It was nice to see them finish up the 6 month season with a win. The whole team was on today & they played really well. Here's Lauryn's team, after winning 3rd place (2 teammates were missing)

And if you click on this link, you can see Zach's 4th grade traveling basketball team that made it in the papers for winning 1st place at a tournament a couple weeks back. It was awesome because they played 5th graders & still won!

And the most wonderful thing about sports is that as soon as you are starting to get tired of one, it is on to the next... We have closed out the basketball seasons, but look on to softball & baseball. Lauryn is playing slow pitch through school and fast pitch through the city this year. Zach is going out for the traveling baseball team. And Sean will be playing baseball as well. My only concern right now is whether or not this weather is going to cooperate with us. I dread those cold or wet evenings, trying to watch the kids play. But we all know that baseball season means spring time is here & summer is just around the corner! And who can complain about a day like today! (Sunday)
