March 2024

  "March is blistery and boisterous, Never quiet nor inert, Swaggers in and out with gusto - March is just an extravert." -- Thelma Ireland

As I write this, we are two dawns away from it being MAY!  That means I will be here at the keyboard again VERY SOON!  But this long absence has been filled will a l kinds of LIFE and so many memories.  I am woefully behind, and I have no one to blame... But MAN!  That downhill slalom between Spring Break and the end of the school year NEVER gets easier!  March was a blur and April came in right on her heels - with all the THINGS we do as a family keep us me from writing it all down.  But here I am now!  To recount the crazy month of March - and all its ups and downs.  

And true to who we are, it starts with Basketball.  Area Champions!   STATE BOUND!!!!!

We had a fun State Send Off for the team:

Finn and his first Choir Concert of the term:

 

And then we headed to Playoffs in Noman!

We made it to Semi Finals!

 

AND THE FINALS!

 

Brothers make Besties!

Didn't end the way we expected, and definitely not the way we wanted it to.  But is was such an amazing ride...  Next up AAU and Summer ball - Off to Arkansas!

Finn had a busy month with Oral Surgeon and orthodontic appts.

 

 

Spring/Summer LOADING...

Quick little trip to Arkansas to drop Jake off for the week - practice and running the kids camp!

And the extent of my Spring Break

Back to NWA to pick up Jake - but we had a little fun on this trip as well

Finn's NEXT choir concert!

Jake was at the soccer game across the parking lot
while we were at the concert - but we were back
together for some Chick-fil-A!

I assumed a NEW position:

And then we had our first AAU weekend in Norman with AAO Flight Pro 16 17U:

 

And I know it will come as no surprise.  MORE BASKETBALL TO COME!  And more choir concerts, and more dental updates for Finn.  

And in between the crazy, I managed to squeeze in a few books.
