How we did...

This morning Madison & Quinn both had games at 9am. I hate that we have to split up but there is no other choice. Tony & Quinn went to his baseball game (because he is coaching of course). This was their first full game of the season. They lost 3-4 but I was told that it was a very good game and that Quinn got a hit and 2 RBI's and also played well at 1st base. He plays again on Monday. He'll probably pitch so that will be exciting.

Madison's soccer team played the Goshen Stars at 9am. Her team also played well and won 2-1. It felt good to beat Goshen because we have had a tough time with them over the years. Last year we played terrible when we played them.

Quinn's soccer team played in Chesterton which is 1 & 1/2 hours from here. We left sunny and a little bit windy/chilly Goshen to arrive in Chesterton with gusty wind, no sun and rain! The majority of our boys didn't even have long sleeve shirts on under their shirts. The other team had long sleeves, some even wore sweats and stocking caps! I couldn't believe the change of weather, just in 75 miles! This was Quinn's best game this year. He played more like his old self, feeling more comfortable on the field and perhaps a teeny bit more comfortable with his new coach. Our team scored the first 2 goals of the game, went to half-time behind at 3-4 but got trounced in the second half and lost 8-3. Ouch. The other team was very good and hopefully our boys will learn just from playing against them. This team won their first two games, 6-0 and 11-0, so if you look at it like that, at least we scored against them! I took just a few pictures of their game. Thankfully it stopped raining for most of the game. The weather was so nasty that they even started the game early. Let's skip the warm-up (because there isn't such a thing) and get the show on the road!! Their Flames record is now 0-2-1.

We were back home around 5pm. Quinn invited Nate and Nater to stay overnight tonight and Madison is staying overnight with Peyton. Nathan stayed overnight here last night. (Do we have a lot of Nathans in our life?). The boys are having lots of fun with the Nerf dart shooters. They're good boys.

Good-night!
