Winter update

So I am really behind on updates but really we didn't do much of anything in January, February or March. Here are the few things we did do.

Jeremy played basketball in January and February. His team worked very well together and only lost one game. Their coach was amazing and when they lost he said "My fault guys I called the wrong play." Such a huge difference from last years disappointment. Jeremy is the kid in the middle with his arm out.

Getting double teamed. When Jeremy stood completely upright he was taller than most of his opponents. He is now 5'4" and the doctor says that he is just getting started.

In mid March I took the kids to the bowling alley for a benefit event. Our friend Sheryl has been fighting cancer for a couple of years now and at this point only has a week or two left to live. Emily and her oldest daughter Jenny are good friends and I love that Emily is so willing to listen and support Jenny through this. Having the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation is WONDERFUL!


We were lucky to bowl in the lane next to the elementary schools teachers and principal.



Add one more thing to my list....Emily was practicing kicks in karate class on the 23rd of March and when she set her foot down she was in pain. We first thought it was a cramp but soon realized that it was much more than that. I took her to the urgent care and found out that she has a minor tear in her Achilles. She is now on crutches and can not do karate for at least a month. So, I get to pick up the slack and do her chores too plus I get to help her with every possible aspect of her life. She is getting better at doing things on her own. Hopefully April will bring better weather and more exciting things for us to do.
p.s. Emily just reminded me that her Wind Ensemble made it to State competiton. Yeah for them!!
