The lack of words....

Life is.....are there words? Busy just doesn't seem to cut it, exhausting sounds reasonable, and productive doesn't always make the cut. So, maybe some highlights...sans pictures because that just adds another element and complicates things!

Andrew just finished his first high school basketball season. Frustrating isn't nearly enough of a word to describe it. We learned that having good fundamentals doesn't fly too well with a football coach as a basketball coach. Not much playing time, but he truly made the most of it. He finally got good playing time the last two games, which were, naturally, away games we didn't go to. 12 pts, 10 rebounds the first game, 17 points 10 rebounds the second. He's really coming around as a pianist and is sounding so amazing-it's a bit unbelievable somtimes!

Braden is busy with his own basketball season, Odyssey of the Mind, swimming, scouts (he just became an 11 year old scout), and the beginnings of coming into his own as a pianist. Braden is soo creative and observant and even though he's hitting the beginning of his 11 year old adolescence, he's still fun to have around!

Chase could be an amazing swimmer if he would just use both arms to swim! He's so full of energy and spunk and is quite the ham. I think he needs some acting lessons!

Delainey-again there are NO words for this one. Force of nature, pain in the neck, diva, "give it to me NOW!!"....she does have her great moments and just tonight she had the giggle going to end all giggles-the whole family was laughing!

That was a pretty good Christmas card.

Not having pictures and not sending it to everyone in the mail is acceptable "in this economy". Not even emailing it out is okay, too, I guess.

I miss that crazy family of yours. But, I loved reading the updates.
I am sorry life is so crazy. On my worst days we take a visit papa murphy's, like tonight.
I am too tired to think of any other good advice....just know you are not alone in your efforts.
Say hi to everyone for us!
