Hi All!
I forget where we left off last time but, here goes....
Kate's 7th grade year has been great. She has kept busy with dance. This summer she worked very hard to get on pointe(ballet). Weekend rehearsals kept her busy preparing for her studio's Nutcracker Ballet in December. After Christmas she decided that piano,NCL(National Charity League) and homework wasn't enough so she joined her middle school's lacrosse team. She enjoyed her first lacrosse experience and took after her brother and played defense. Those soccer skills really came in handy. Lacrosse ended so she is now onto tennis! She turns 13 in May and will be an official "tweenager".
Riley is busy with his sophomore year of High School. Lots of homework, challenging classes, JV Football and his social life kept him busy. He was able to play in the last Varsity play off game and so he earned a "Varsity letter". Of course this is being sewn on his new Varsity Letterman Jacket we got him for his 16th birthday just last week. Yikes! Not driving yet, but this summer he should be.
Unfortunately for Riley after hearing he made 2 Elite summer lacrosse teams and making the JV Lacrosse team and being named a slider to the Varsity, we found out he had to have season ending knee surgery. He had had knee pain off and on for a couple of months and after coming home with a swollen knee from practice off to the orthopedic surgeon we went. The MRI said there was an unstable lesion that needed to be fixed. He had 2 smart pins put in to reattach the bone and cartilage and he is in a brace and on crutches for 6 weeks as well as physical therapy 2 times a week. Hopefully he will be back by summer.
Matt is keeping busy with work, the kids, Football Booster Board, Lacrosse Booster Board, the Foothilll High School Ed Fund board and helping to fundraiser for all of these simultaneously! I just watch and help out when I can.
I am busy with the kids, PTA board, NCL (National Charity League) with Kate, helping out at the high school once a week, tennis and trying to keep all the balls afloat!
We hope all is well with everyone and can't wait to hear what everyone is doing!
Happy almost Spring!
Love, Kristen, Matt, Riley and Kate
