Not what we were expecting

Last week Mason had knee surgery. He tore his meniscus at Regional Track .... after getting in there, they discovered that where it was tore it was better to repair and give it a chance to heal instead of cutting it out.  Unfortunately, that means he now has LONG recovery ahead of him.  Instead of 4 weeks, he is facing 6 months. Now we are really hoping & praying that it heals correctly.

Growing up TOO fast

Last week my (not so) little (anymore) girl got asked to go play basketball for the next 2 weekends.  She was beyond excited at the opportunity to go .... even though she didn't know of the girls .... just kind of knew them from playing against them the last 2 summers at Grinnell.

SO on Friday I dropped her off in Sharon Springs to go spend the weekend in Denver playing ball.  Yeah for her, very hard on me.  Anxiously awaiting her arrival back in Sharon so I can hear how it all went. 

Next weekend .... off to the Sunflower Games in Topeka to play .... This time, I plan on being there :)

Summer fun

We got a new toy today ... Fun times and memories at the lake will be in the making.

Family resemblance

We have always thought that Dane favored my Uncle Jodie.  My Mom brought this picture out the other day and drove the point  home!!
