Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.  Our Thanksgiving was pretty similar to the past two.  After waking up we made our way to church to help pack Thanksgiving meals for delivery.  Our church, along with a neighboring one, delivers about 500-600 meals every Thanksgiving.  We then joined the Kash family (and two other couples) for dinner.  The Chlarsons made their way to Bowling Green today to help celebrate Iowa's victory over the Huskers.  We also managed to get a bit of shopping in.  On Wednesday, we celebrated our 14th anniversary by going to the Louisville-WKU womens basketball game.  It probably wasn't the most romantic way to spend an anniversary but it was a pretty good game.

Between Seasons

Finally getting around to a post- Toy Bowl update.  Pre- and Post- Toy Bowl festivities went better than the game did.  Game day started with a team breakfast at the Montana Grille and a caravan to the game.  The game itself didn't go particularly well but it was still a very good season.  Have included a couple of pictures from the day.  Although we have been done with games for a few weeks, we have been busy with basketball practices, swimming, and BRAVO volleyball tryouts.  A&H have also sang and rang the bells at church.  We are sure that Annee sings, but Hayden might just occasionally move his lips.  They have begun practice for the church Christmas performance.  Hayden and I also made it down for the Vanderbilt-UK football game.  We are looking forward to going back next year.  

Ravens Return to Toy Bowl; Annee Has First Swim Meet of Season

The Ravens have earned a return trip to the Toy Bowl after corralling the Cowboys 40-14 on Tuesday evening.  The Ravens scored all 40 points in the first half.  The Ravens will have a rematch against the Bengals in the Toy Bowl.  The first matchup between the two teams went to two overtimes before the Bengals prevailed.  Annee was busy on Saturday with All-State Choir.  On Sunday, she participated in her first swim meet of the season.  She did quite well with 3 personal bests.  She narrowly missed a PR in her fourth event.  Annee and Hayden also managed to start basketball practice on Monday.  Games will start in December.

Some Pictures

We made it through a soggy and windy Halloween last night.  The break from rain was long enough to make it down Pumpkin Alley.  Hayden starts his football playoff tomorrow.  Annee has All-State Choir this weekend and a swim meet on Sunday.  Basketball practice starts Monday.  Below are a few recent pictures.
