Fall Recap

 We are two weeks away from Christmas so it’s probably fair to say that I can now recap the fall.  Consistent with life of the past 12 years, we were very active.  I would say busy but the word busy is so overused that I’m not sure it really conveys anything.  Luke started modified sports this year which is actually a relief from youth sports.  He played volleyball during the fall season since we wouldn’t allow him to play football.  With lots of grumbling he came around and actually enjoyed the game of volleyball itself.  His team was a bit challenged with a lot of kids who have never played organized sports before but I think all in all, he learned some life lessons.  I’ve even caught him practicing volleyball on his own.   He also had 3D lacrosse all fall - much better with dad coaching his team now!

Adrienne had her first season of club lacrosse with Aces Elite.  I’m in awe of how good her team is!  I honestly can’t imagine what this team will be like in the years to come when they actually grow into their bodies and refine their hand eye coordination.  Adrienne is a transition midfielder - she did very well being a play maker but not necessarily always scoring the goal.  She’s bonded with the girls on the team and if all stays the same, I think she’ll have many exciting years ahead. 

Coco is back to gymnastics where she’s been moved up a few levels.  She still does not enjoy stretching but she loves the “choice” time they give at the end of practice.  Most recently, she’s starting to work on back handsprings.  We even held her 6^th birthday party at gymnastics. 

We had a great 2019 Halloween.  The kids came to visit mom at the office and promptly took over my setup.  The went out with friends in the evening and took in quite the haul of candy.  We did have to remove the candy from the house because it appeared as though it was being used as the breakfast of champions. 

Matt and I took a little trip to Miami just as the snow was starting to fly in NY.  We enjoyed the beach and the warm water as well as all the bars and restaurants.

As for mid-December, we are currently working the party circuit, the musical performance circuit, and of course the holiday shopping circuit.
