One Month Later . . .

Well, here it is a month later and I still cannot find the connector so I can add pictures!!!! Unbelievable! I guess I'll just tell you a little bit of what has been going on with the Carroll Chaos. Madison is now driving (with a permit of course) I can hardly believe it. She has two more hours of driving with her instructor and then she is cut loose for a year to practice. We can hardly believe how fast the time goes.
Both of the girls made the basketball team and have their first games this Tuesday. John is in his second year of coaching the 7th grade team and has the pleasure of coaching his favorite middle daughter Kaitlin. Katie will be playing forward for John. Madison has made the JV team and has also received a Varsity jersey. She hopes to ride the pine till she gets up to speed with the varsity. Varsity girls basketball is a little different that 8th grade. We told her just do your best that's all anybody can ask. Madison has been playing alot of point guard. We'll just have to see how that all goes.
Last weekend John traveled with Madison's soccer team to a tournament in Evansville. This year is a little different because you go to showcases to be seen by college coaches. No pressure there!!! They did not play very well the third game and got knocked out of the tournament (I hear it was super cold on Sunday when they played).
Kaitlin also had tryouts for her travel volleyball team the past two weekends. We find out tonight if she made a team or not. There were 35 girls trying out for about 24 positions. Good luck Katie we are rooting for you!
Johnny is currently OBSESSED with his yo-yo!! It's a huge thing at his school this year and he loves it.
Johnny has also started playing basketball. He will be participating in AAU this year for the first time and is super excited. John will also be coaching his team in January. Where in the world does he have time? John is just such a great dad and is so involved with kids. I really appreciate that about him.
I have been kept busy lately with my mom who had a total left knee replacement. She is getting along really well and keeping up with her therapy. She watches my nephew and I have been kept busy watching his a few days a week. I love that I get to spend so much time with him. I would love to watch my other nephews but . . . YOU ALL NEED TO MOVE CLOSER!!!
John has finished farming and is now coaching. Luckily we all love basketball so it works out great.
I promise to update more often and find my connector!!
