After a plan for our family to go to Dallas for the weekend for Jake’s soccer tournament, we had to scrap the idea.  Why in the world would we think we would be free to be together all 6 of us at once!?  All of the sudden, we had mandatory gymnastics pictures, a couple of BB games, and most importantly, Reece was scheduled to get her Bible at church that Sunday.  As a family, we are learning to be flexible!  As Jake and Brian caught a flight to Dallas, I was holding down the fort here in KC.  But, by the looks of it, I really got the short end of the stick!  Look at these hot rods….eating massive amounts of cheeseburgers, touring stadiums, joy riding in a sports car, taking in Jake’s first NBA game, playing Fortnite, and enjoying time with friends (even an old teammate that now lives in TX came by to catch up), playing soccer in the nice weather is the best!

Even after a knee injury in his basketball game the night before they were scheduled to fly out, there was no chance Jake was going to miss this tournament with his teammates.  The results didn’t come out the way they wanted but from what I hear, Jake played his heart out and made some great memories along the way.  They were missed!

Back here in KC, we got our little gal all dressed up cute to get her first, and very own Bible!This is a very exciting time and I hope she finds a way to keep it forever!  Although, she is a bit of a mess – it’s a wonder she keeps track of anything really.  We all have our strengths and weaknesses!  look at all of this stuff she keeps in her twin size bed!!

We are so happy for you Reece!
