Happy April Fools Day!!!!! We are enjoying spring Break. It is truly a break. A break from school and a break from ball games and crazy schedules. These days our schedule consists of constantly running to ball games and practices since McKenzie is in fast pitch softball, Madisyn is doing Little League Baseball and Maryssa is playing soccer. Evan is helping coach Madisyn's team and Mallory and I shuffle from game to game supporting the girls.
Madisyn is doing really well this year in baseball. Many of the parents comment on her performance and say she is the MVP. She really enjoys it and wants to continue playing with the boys and baseball. She also enjoys the fact that she plays for the Red Sox, our favorite team.
McKenzie is enjoying her first year at fast pitch softball. She is learning a lot about the game. She really loves the stealing bases part. We are alright with that as long as that is the only thing she steals. She and her best friend Andi just closed down their salon, MA Nails. They were so cute turning McKenzie's room into a spa and doing manicures, pedicures, massages and other spa treatments. Now they have created a church for the neighborhood kids called U Turn. She thought it was more important for the kids to hear about God than get spa treatments. She is growing up so much. It is exciting and frustrating at the same time. Here we go on the roller coaster called female hormones.
Maryssa is getting back into the hang of soccer. We have to sit on the sidelines and make sure she stays focused. She still loves animals and spends most of her days on her hands and knees pretending she is an animal of some sort. Over the Eater weekend she accepted Christ into her life. We are so excited for her!!!!!
Mallory is 2 going on 10. She thinks she is as old as her sisters and will do whatever it takes to be just like them. She drinks from a regular cup, sits at the table in the chairs and will climb to get something that is just beyond her reach. Evan has nicknamed her "Mooch" as she likes to go from person to person and eat whatever you are eating.
As for Evan and I, we are staying extremely busy. I (and Michele) just finished the Easter programing for the kids and will soon begin planning VBS. Evan is busy at work with loans and everything else. We just started phase III of the fitness/diet program we are on, eight weeks down and four weeks to go. We are seeing great results but I am very ready for a really big cheat day.
Take care and I'll update soon.
