Back in Gymnastics!

Emily was very excited to start gymnastics again.  She had so much fun in Hawaii with it.  With all the back handsprings she has been doing, I don't think she has lost a beat.  She is in the flexible one left row in the middle.

Happy 12th on the 12th!

We celebrated Mac's 12th birthday today.  He got a bunch of cool things, one of which is a basketball he has been wanting.  We will officially celebrate it this weekend with some of his friends.  

Our new house......possibly

Image
We put in an offer on a house that is bank owned foreclosure.  We are not sure if it will work out because our offer is much less than the asking price.  It has been vacant for 2 years so there will be a lot of work for John.  Keeping our fingers crossed.      Front Garage Kids Bath Emily's room Master Bath Master Bedroom Master Bedroom Living Room Family room Kitchen Pickle Ball Court Front yard Side of House Spare room

Mac's First Basketball Game of the Season

Image
We got a call from a friend that she was coaching a basketball team and wanted to know if Mac was interested.  He was excited and only missed a few practices prior to our arrival.  He knows everyone on the team and is playing good.  Today was his first game.  They started slow but turned it on.  The team is pretty stacked with a lot of good players.

New Years Day Sunshine!

We jumped at the opportunity to enjoy some sunshine and family time.   Keeps the kids and us from getting cabin fever.  We went to Bainbridge and took a nice walk in the woods and the kids enjoyed the park.  Same park that Emily learned to ride a bike at about 4 years ago!
