Basketball wrap-up

The basketball season is just a couple weeks away from coming to a close which you would think would mean things are beginning to slow down--but no. Austin has been dressing JV and that means twice as many games. I say "dressing" because although he plays almost the whole game as a freshman, he spends more time on the bench as a JV player, but he is perfectly okay with that. He was just excited to be placed on the JV team as a freshman! He does get a little bit of game time which is good experience for him. Tonight we'll be traveling to Decatur to play against St. Teresa, tomorrow will be a triple-header Hoops for Haiti Night at home against Argenta-Oreana, and Friday we'll be playing Central A&M. I don't have any stats or win-loss info (haven't been keeping track myself :)) because there has just been too much to keep track of (I'm sure Austin has all this info!). It's been a busy, busy season, but it's almost over.

Which means...track will be just around the corner...

(My new camera is ordered and will hopefully be here soon so I can post more pics!)

Blues vs. Blackhawks

We spent this past weekend in St. Louis at our first pro-hockey game. After going to several Rivermen and Thunder games, the pace of a pro-hockey game was quite a bit quicker. Ten of us (almost the whole family) all met in the city to see the Blackhawks play the Blues. As it turned out, I think there were more Blackhawk fans there than Blues fans (our hotel was nothing but Hawks fans)! (Maybe because the Blues don't have a very good record?)

Aside from losing my camera (yes...being a glass-is-half-full kinda person I'm choosing the word "lost" even though my aunt insists it was stolen since I knew exactly where it was, then exactly where it wasn't...), we all had a lot of fun. Pics are courtesy of my cousin. :)
