Basketball Begins

Happy Monday to ya (ha-ha right?).

Just to update those of you that are interested... Saturday night Madison played at the half-time of the Concord girl's varsity game. We went out for supper first with Don & Isy to Chili's to use a gift card that I had (and forgot at home). Then we headed to the game to watch the varsity girls lose by 30 points, their record is 0-13. : ( I would love to post a picture of Madison at half-time but I forgot my camera at home (0 for 2).

Sunday brought church in the morning and then Tony went to work in the afternoon until about 6:30. We watched the movie "Invinsible" for our family movie night. It was good but a little slow moving.

Today was Monday and the first day for the kids to go back to school after their Christmas break. Neither one of them wanted to go... Quinn had his stomach ache and all. They ended up having fine days and I think it's good to have them back to a routine. Going to bed earlier is a harder transition though. Madison is much more of a night person than a morning person (like her dad) so it's especially hard for her to get to sleep at a decent time and then it's painful to get her up.

Tonight they had their first Upward basketball practices. Tony is coaching Quinn's team. It is such a great program! If you haven't heard of it before, it's worth checking out at www.upward.com to see if there is a program in your area. We highly recommend it! So, the kids were excited to see who is on their teams. Madison is on the same team with Peyton, Raeann and Erin (Gordan and Cynthia's daughter). So, she was happy to know half of the team very well. Quinn and Nate are together which isn't a surprise since we requested each other with their "car pool link" request. He didn't know anyone else. They were happy to get their uniforms, CD's and magnets for the van.

Well, the Ohio State vs FL half-time is over with... better get back to the tube. : )
I threatened Ohio State that if they don't play better, I'm going to have to go to bed on them. Why can't the Big Ten play better in bowl games? Anyway...

That's all for now. Love to all, Leah
