Time Flys

Wow- it seems like school just started and now it's time to start planning summer camps!  The spring youth basketball season has ended- playoffs begin on Saturday.  Corey's team finished undefeated and we hope they'll continue that way through the playoffs.  Her strength has proven to be as a defensive player- she's small but tough and excels at stealing the ball.  Kim's team had only 3 experienced players and mediocre coaches and they ended the season with a 1-9 record.  They will probably be out after the first playoff game.  Oh well- you win some, you lose some! 

On the other hand report cards came out - Kim is the only one who gets 'real' grades, and she made all A's except in math and science.  In those subjects she got A+!  We weren't able to come up with the extra $2,000 for the middle school trip to Washington D.C.- a real disapointment as I remember what an impact my school trip made at that time (it was to Paris).  Money is just too tight right now.  On the other hand we are planning a family trip to Disneyland as soon as school is out!  That trip will be free (the entry fee for DL anyway) as we will have earned the tickets through the Disney promotion - Give a Day, Get a Disney Day! 

Kim is also in the school play again this year- one reason we are ready for Bball to end is the conflicting practice schedules.  Corey continues in the school choir.  Alia is catching on to reading and Eli is finally, at age 7, out of size 3T pants.  He's too tall for 3's but still awfully skinny for anything bigger.  We are looking forward to shorts season!
