Lucy had her first high school choir performance a couple weekends ago. I’m sorry, I know I’m biased, but just LOOK at this darling girl of mine: Part of the “uniform” was clip-on pearl earrings and that particular girl of mine dutifully wore those puppies without a single complaint. (Which is amazing because that is…
I mentioned yesterday that Claire has had pretty much non-stop volleyball tournaments for the last couple months or so. Local around here (only three parents in all allowed to watch), and then the last three weekends, three in three different cities. Yikes! Volleyball has taken over our lives! (Again, reminds me of the good old…
I never wrote about Claire’s new volleyball club dealio. It’s her fourth year in club volleyball, and her fourth club. Which seems kind of strange, but it’s been a good journey for her. We have gone from not knowing what in the world was going on at her first club tryout (so different from boys…
Claire got a volleyball season. After club was curtailed back in March, and the corona virus raged, we had no idea what this season would look like. But it turned out that these girls got to play, with a delayed start, with safety protocol in place (talked about the beginning of the season back HERE)….
For my future grandkids who may be reading this and wondering how 2020 actually went down, this is interesting information. In the midst of the debate about in-person vs. online school, volleyball (and the rest of school sports) were also heavily debated. Could they play? Should they play? Would it make it safer if they…
I whine about how much I miss my babies on this blog a lot. Because I do, and I always will. But man alive, college kids are so much fun too. There is nothing in the whole wide world like watching your kids become. Oh, there are the tough parts. There is heartbreak and there…
Welp, we wrapped up the school season of volleyball with a banquet at our house last Thursday. It was like a mini wedding reception I tell you! Luckily I didn’t have to do much except coordinate, people are so awesome and creative and good at making things nice. But before we talk about that, let’s…
I have mentioned that Claire is playing volleyball pretty much non-stop around here, but I haven’t had a chance to post many pictures yet. And I may as well get to work on that since we’re already over half-way through the season! Claire has the best of both worlds in volleyball right now because she…
Last weekend Lucy spoke in church. It was her first time and true to Lucy form, she did NOT want any help preparing. She did tell me about some things she was thinking about how she feels God’s love in her life (that was her topic) and I helped her remember a couple ideas but…
