Here is an update abcd style

A - Allie Kate's Wedding - Congrats Allison and Caleb.

B - Basketball

I am coaching Rhea's AAU team.  Here is 2 of the local teams after a game.  All of these girls have played for several city and county schools for 4 years.  Pretty cool to snap a shot of all of them before they start choosing middle schools.

One Brave Little Man

My 11 year old nephew, Jackson, was born with hydrocephalus.... water on the brain.  He had his first surgery at the ripe old age of 5 weeks to put a shunt in his head.  Jack and family has always known it wasn't going to last forever, but to get 11 years out of it was amazing.  Well.... the time came last Sat. for the shunt to fail - and so immediate brain surgery was the answer.

I am so happy to share that today - less than one week later - my little brave man - is walking out of the hospital, shunt free.

Jack - you are amazing.  Good to know you got all the brave genes.

CHAMPION

I asked Rheagan this morning on the way to school how she spelled champion

- and I quote -

"R H E A G A N". 

The Lady Bulldogs won the elementary league tournament last night beating North Lee 19-18.  I also have a picture Rhea

- and I quote -

"with the hardware",

 but it will get put on later.

Way to go Rhea.  I'm so proud of you and your friends!

Snow Much Fun

Snow day with Rhea and Tripp have been SNOW MUCH FUN.  Here are just 2 of the ton I've taken.  Now we're off to make a SNOWMAN!

Volleyball Game

Today Rhea played in the annual 5th grade vs. teachers volleyball game.  I caught her and her basketball buddies pregame.

Happy New Year!

Well, after a break from blogging, school and more - I'M BACK! 

We had an unbelievable Christmas with both families.  Kelly, Jon, Payne and Jack enjoyed the white Christmas with us.  Mom's brother, Jimmy, was here for a week and helped make the holidays so special. 

The basketball team played in Chattanooga in the local tournament and went 1-2.  Rheagan's team also played in a tournament and got 2nd place.  She made the all-tournament team as well. 

After some down time ( and decluttering time ) we are ready to get back to school and a routine.

I'll have some pictures ready to share sometime this week.

Thanks.
